It's not just about me. It's about all of us, accepting one another. We're all different... That's a good thing.

I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.

Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day.

First of all, I try to be a positive role model.

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.

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

The ability to grow is directly related to the amount of insecurity you can take in your life.
