Standing with freaks never hurt anyone - it’s when we agree that we deserve the oppression and the ridicule… — Kate Bornstein

“Gender is not sane. It's not sane to call a rainbow black and white.”

Any power-over position forwards a culture that oppresses the transgendered. We should look for positions that allow us to bring out the power we have within us, and to acknowledge the power of others.

I tell people that I’ve never been hurt by an honest question, and that’s true: it’s a cruel opinion that hurts, not a question.
