I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.

I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.

I firmly believe that deep in their soul everyone has a champion that can overcome obstacles and do great things.

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 who are coming to terms with being true to who they are, they shouldn't have to take it.

It caused more problems as a young kid, because the simple process of perceiving words on a piece of paper was hard for me. Many people think dyslexic people see things backwards. They don't see things backwards.

I just barely got through school. The problem was a learning disability, at a time when there was no where to get help.

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.
