Gender Exploration Quotes

“Words are important. They allow us to communicate how we think and feel. Words help us to understand and to be understood.
So, finally grasping the language you've been reaching for, to explain this complex and perplexing thing, a feeling which once felt so abstract and lonely, I started to wonder if--"Maybe, I'm the only one who exists. Is there anybody else out there who feels like this?"--finally being able to articulate this thing, that for so long, you had no idea how to express, is a blessing.”
― Theo Parish, Homebody: A Graphic Memoir of Gender Identity Exploration

“You are finding your colors
Your wings are expanding
Don’t be afraid of your butterfly
Your flight is the best part of living”
― Aimee Herman, Everything Grows

It feels like finally being able to release a deep breath. One you didn't even realize you were holding.
I am seen.
I exist.
I am not alone.”
