Quote of the Day

"When I was growing up and I introduced myself to people I’d say, 'Hi, my name is Robyn and I’m a girl,' because in Sweden, Robyn is a boy’s name and I had such short hair.  My handicrafts teacher thought I was a boy for three years.  I tried to tell her I was a girl, but she’d just say, 'My little boy wanted to be a girl when he was a kid, too.'  Finally my mom had to write her a note that said, 'Please don’t assume that Robyn is a boy anymore because she’s a girl.'"
