My wife Kris and I enjoy keeping an active lifestyle, so it's hard to imagine what it would be like if breathing problems kept me from participating in the activities I love to do. But that's exactly what happens to many people who develop COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
I love the 1,500 meters. I knew that, if I had to do it to win, I'd run under 4:05. That means I could pick up 100 points, maybe even 150 points, on anybody in the world.

I have struggled with identity all my life. It's not like something that just happened last week.

I had really no sense of style. Everyone around me in my family had the sense of style - I learned as much as I possibly could.
I got into sports because that was a way to prove your masculinity. I was good at it.
I have gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican than I have for being trans.
