“If you voted for a man who said "Grab em by the pussy," you have zero room to claim to protect anyone in bathrooms.”
― DaShanne Stokes

“I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.”
― Iggy Pop, Dum Dum Boys: Iggy Pop by Mikael Jansson

“So here it is. My friends call me he, or they. The government and most of my family call me she. The media calls me she, because I don鈥檛 trust them enough to request that they do anything else. My lovers call me sweetheart. Or baby. Somewhere in all of that I find myself.”

“If you鈥檙e in doubt as to whether or not a question is inappropriate, here鈥檚 a helpful tip. Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable asking that question to a cisgender person. Generally speaking we as a society don鈥檛 around asking people about their private parts. They鈥檙e called private for a reason.”
― Ian Thomas Malone, The Transgender Manifesto

“I found power in accepting the truth of who I am. It may not be a truth that others can accept, but I cannot live any other way. How would it be to live a lie every minute of your life?”
― Alison Goodman, Eon: Dragoneye Reborn

“The eye of youth is very observant. Youth has its moments of keen intuition, even normal youth -- but the intuition of those who stand mi-way between the sexes is so ruthless, so poignant, so deadly, as to be in the nature of an added scourge...”

“...I really did "choose" to be Jim every single day, but that once I put my sword down I haven't chosen Jenny at all; I simply wake up and here I am.”

“Do not stare at me unless you are willing to see me.' ...'Look at me,鈥� he says. 鈥淟ook at this body. My body. Or stop looking. Deny it, and deny me.”

“Look," Aracely said. "I know what you're going through."

"No you don't." Sam sat up. "I still have to live like this. Nothing is gonna fix me. There's no water that's gonna make me into something else."

"And I'd start from where you are if it meant what happened that night didn't have to happen," Aracely said. "We don't get to become who we are for nothing. It costs something. You're fighting for every little piece of yourself. And maybe I got all of me at once but I lost everything else. Don't you dare think there's any water in the world that makes this easy.”
― Anna-Marie McLemore, When the Moon Was Ours

“She had genuinely started to believe that if people could see her onstage as Charlotte, maybe they would see that she was a girl offstage too.”

“SK: What causes a person to be transgender?

MS: I think the question should be flipped around: What鈥檚 the cause for assuming that one鈥檚 gender identity has to be the one that you are born with? When I first came into this job, I was much more comfortable about people鈥檚 sexuality than I was with people鈥檚 gender identity. But when you hear the same stories over and over again, from people from all over the world, you start realizing that transgender is not an anomaly. It鈥檚 a part of the spectrum of people鈥檚 realities. Then you stop wondering about the cause and you start realizing it鈥檚 a part of reality.”
― Susan Kuklin, Beyond Magenta: Transgender and Nonbinary Teens Speak Out

“It's actually a very old archetype that trans girl stories get put into: this sort of tragic, plucky-little-orphan character who is just supposed to suffer through everything and wait, and if you're good and brave and patient (and white and rich) enough, then you get the big reward...which is that you get to be just like everybody else who is white and rich and boring. And then you marry the prince or the football player and live boringly ever after.”
― Kai Cheng Thom, Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars

“For all of you out there, visible & invisible. Closeted or out & proud. Femme & Masc & every glorious stripe on the rainbow in between.

You incandescent queens, deliciously undefinable androgynous souls, chivalrous butches, tomboy dykes, drop-dead yet still invisible femmes. You with your flare, your flamboyance, your rugged individuality, your glorious diversity, your insistence on being seen, your quiet but steady presence in the places that matter. You, the cliche and every unexpected exception. The world鈥檚 stereotypes brought to blazing life & you who smashes the boxes & changes the paradigms & refuses to be painted into place. You, who knows that queer looks, speaks, sounds & moves through this world in a million different ways. You, the grieving. You the dancing. You, the proud & the humble & the defiant & the free.

Whatever label you choose & define for yourself.
Whatever identity feels like home to you.
However you have come to know & name yourself & your good, good, love.
You are my family.
I see you.”
― Jeanette LeBlanc

“Queremos apoderarnos del 驳茅苍别谤辞, redefinir nuestros cuerpos y crear redes libres y abiertas donde poder desarrollarnos, donde cualquiera pueda construir sus mecanismos de seguridad contra las presiones de 驳茅苍别谤辞. No somos v铆ctimas, nuestras heridas de guerra nos sirven como escudo... Nos presentamos no como terroristas, sino como piratas, trapecistas, guerrilleros, RESISTENTES del 驳茅苍别谤辞鈥� Defendemos la duda, creemos en el 芦volver atr谩s禄 m茅dico como un seguir hacia delante, pensamos que ning煤n proceso de construcci贸n debe tacharse de IRREVERSIBLE. Queremos visibilizar la belleza de la androginia. Creemos en el derecho a quitarse las vendas para respirar y el de no quit谩rselas nunca, en el derecho a operarse con buenos cirujanos y no con CARNICEROS, en el libre acceso a los tratamientos hormonales sin necesidad de certificados psiqui谩tricos, en el derecho a auto-hormonarse.
Reivindicamos el vivir sin pedir permiso... Ponemos en duda el protocolo m茅dico espa帽ol que desde hace a帽os establece unas pautas absurdas y tr谩nsfobas para cualquier ciudadano que desea tomar hormonas de su 芦sexo禄 contrario. No creemos en las disforias de 驳茅苍别谤辞, ni en los trastornos de identidad, no creemos en la locura de la gente, sino en la locura del sistema. No nos clasificamos por sexos, nosotros somos todos diferentes independientemente de nuestros genitales, nuestras hormonas, nuestros labios, ojos, manos... No creemos en los papeles, en el sexo legal, no necesitamos papeles, ni menciones de sexo en el DNI, creemos en la libre circulaci贸n de hormonas (que, de hecho, ya existe..). No queremos m谩s psiquiatras, ni libro de psiquiatras/ psic贸logos, no queremos m谩s 芦Test de la Vida Real禄... No queremos que nos traten como enfermos mentales..., porque no lo somos... 隆y as铆 es c贸mo nos llevan tratando desde hace mucho tiempo! Creemos en el activismo, en la constancia, en la visibilidad, en la libertad, en la resistencia...

“Practically it is all right, but medico-legally it is wrong, to make the genitals the universal criterion in the determination of sex. Medico-legally, sex should be determined by the psychical constitution rather than by the physical form. There are thousands of physical females who feel themselves to be men and have the mental traits of men, and there are thousands of physical males who feel themselves to be women and have the mental traits of a woman. Should any blame be attached to such individuals when they conduct themselves according to their psychical sex?”
― Jennie June, Autobiography of an Androgyne

“I have been doomed to be a girl who must pass her earthly existence in a male body. How dreadful it is to a young woman to have a slight growth of hair on lip or cheeks ! Only one mark of the male ! How much more dreadful for a young woman to possess almost all the male anatomy as I do ! How I have bewailed my fate!”
― Jennie June, Autobiography of an Androgyne

“I trust that the publication of my life story will contribute to a correct estimate of androgvnism on the part of scientists, the molders of public opinion, and the lawmakers, and to a more kindly treatment by society of those born with this curse. It is only expressing half the truth to say that they are more to be pitied than scorned. They are wholly to be pitied.”

“how do you tell your mom that she got your body wrong when she made you?”
― Chris Bergeron, Valide

“The emergence of trans-exclusionary radical feminism [TERF] in the 1970s, with its own version of trans panic, is only one of many trans-misogynistic echoes in recent history. TERFs... didn't invent trans misogyny, nor did they put a particularly novel spin in it...portrayal of trans femininity as violent and depressed could have been lifted from the British denunciation of hijras in the 1870s, or from Nazi propaganda about transvestites in the 1930s... Recent work by historians has cat doubt in his popular TERF beliefs ever were outside a few loud agitators... If anything, TERFs, whether in the 1970s or in their contemporary "gender-critical" guise, are better understood as conventional boosters of statist and racist political institutions... TERFs, like the right-wing evangelicals or white supremacists who agree with them politically, are not the lynchpin to trans misogyny; rather, they are at best one of its latest manifestations.”
― Jules Gill-Peterson, A Short History of Trans Misogyny

“Affirming your gender can be joyful and safe! If your current binding method isn't doing it for you, experiment with other methods. There is a better one out there for you.”
― Maia Kobabe, Breathe: Journeys to Healthy Binding

“Hope is part of the human condition and trans people's hope is our proof that we are fully human. We are not an 'issue' to be debated and derided. We are symbols of hope for many non-trans people, too, who see in out lives the possibility of living more fully and freely. That is why some people hate us: they are frightened by the gleaming opulence of our freedom. Our existences enriches this world.”
― Shon Faye, The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice

“Fue la primera vez que vi con total claridad esa humillaci贸n espec铆fica, la de negar el nombre, la de exponer la desnudez de otra persona para burlarse, la de aplastar cualquier conquista o historia personal, por dolorosa que haya sido, solo por el placer de ejercer poder, y en ese momento se conform贸 un 芦nosotras禄 tan poderoso que parec铆a haber estado ah铆 siempre. Todos mis fantasmas, todos mis miedos posaros sus manos fr铆as en mi espalda, en mi cuello, en mis tripas, en mi entrepierna, en mis ojos, y apretaron al mismo tiempo.”
― Alana S. Portero, La mala costumbre

“As if I鈥檝e never held dear my feminist rage, never thought about how I feel so politically aligned with womanhood and yet hate inhabiting it, hate it when my body is read as such.”
