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

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'm not stuck in anybody's body. I'm me.

Realize that the reason most people fail isn't because of the competition but because of the limits they place upon themselves, allowing defeat to take over. Take responsibility for your destiny. You can come up with a performance, if you can reach down and dig deep enough into your competitive soul. You can overcome tremendous obstacles.

I'm saying goodbye to people's perception of me and who I am, I'm not saying goodbye to me, because this has always been me.

If you're asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.

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.
