“You want to know what I'm afraid of? All right, I'll tell you. I'm afraid of men - yes, I'm very much afraid of men. And I'm even more afraid of women. And I'm very much afraid of the whole bloody human race. Afraid of them? Of course I'm afraid of them. Who wouldn't be afraid of a pack of damned hyenas? [...] And when I say afraid - that's just a word I use. What I really mean is that I hate them. I hate their voices, I hate their eyes, I hate the way they laugh. I hate the whole bloody business. It's cruel, it's idiotic, it's unspeakably horrible. I never had the guts to kill myself or I'd have got out of it long ago.”
― Jean Rhys, Good Morning, Midnight

― T.K. Naliaka

"Well, they have a penis-shaped clitoris that mimics a dick. They even have a false scrotum."

"Balls?"

"Yep."

"Hyenas are trans."

"Don't even think about saying that outside this room.”
― Mariana Enríquez, A Sunny Place for Shady People

“Because brown hyenas and jackals are keen competitors, they always check on each other when meeting and often discover that the other has food. These inexperienced youngsters were apparently hoping Star would lead them to an easy meal.”
― Delia Owens, Cry of the Kalahari
