I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self.
When you accept yourself you are free from the need for others to accept you.
Trans people deserve something vital: They deserve your respect. If you want to call me names, make jokes, doubt my intentions, go ahead, because the reality is, I can take it. But for the thousands of kids out there, coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it.

People are either driven to action or complacency, mission or rust. You're either participating in the Game of Life or you're watching it from the grandstands.
If you are dyslexic, your eyes work fine, your brain works fine, but there is a little short circuit in the wire that goes between the eye and the brain. Reading is not a fluid process.
What I'm doing is going to do some good and we're going to change the world.
Fear is part of the process. If you weren't scared, you'd be in trouble.
If I die, I'd be so mad at myself that I didn't explore that side of me.

I am not gay. I am, as far as I know, heterosexual. I've never been with a guy.
I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.

The biggest problem with dyslexic kids is not the perceptual problem, it is their perception of themselves. That was my biggest problem.
