    Maia Kobabe
    “Some people are born in the mountains, while others are born by the sea. Some people are happy to live in the place they were born, while others must make a journey to reach the climate in which they can flourish and grow. Between the ocean and the mountains is a wild forest. That is where I want to make my home.”

    Courtney Carola
    “you’re such a pretty girl” they say
    but they don’t see the way she recoils back from the world
    as if it’s coming for her like fire, as if it burns
    and it does
    it burns like a flame that no one can see
    so white hot and intense that it rivals the sun
    it melts her skin and eats away at her flesh
    until she is nothing
    nothing but a skeleton that no one can call
    a girl”

    Alok Vaid-Menon
    “How are you supposed to be believed about the harm that you experience when people don't even believe that you exist?

    The assumption is that being a masculine man or a feminine woman is normal, and that being "us" is an accessory. Like if you remove our clothing, our makeup, and our pronouns, underneath the surface we are just men and women playing dress-up.”
    ― Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

    “I don't identify with the words female or male. They are not my words. The space in which I have felt gendered female and transitioned to gendered male has been in the ways people have treated me.”

    “When did you know you were a girl? When did I know I was a boy?" he said. "I knew my whole life. I can't tell you exactly when, but it wasn't like I was ten and realized, 'Oh gee, I must be a boy!' What people fail to realize is they made that decision way earlier than that. It just happened that their gender identity and their anatomy matched.”
    ― Jaime A. Seba, Feeling Wrong in Your Own Body: Understanding What It Means to Be Transgender
