“I’m very straightforward and simple: come to me ‘correct’ or don’t come to me at all. You’d be sparing me BIG time for I have zero tolerance for dishonorable two-faced phonies. I find them to be: despicable and deserving of total ‘avoidance.”

“Silver linings are, in essence, the construct of hope. They give us something to look forward to, focus on, and strive for. They inspire change by providing a glimpse of a better future. A silver lining is not the same as being in denial or having rose-colored glasses. It is the ability to find hope amid darkness, to see possibility where others see despair. Being an optimist can be a challenging mindset to maintain in moments of negativity. For this reason, those with the space to envision the silver linings must do so. Furthermore, when we cannot find them ourselves, we can rely on each other to help us cope until we can.”
― Naomi Latini Wolfe, M.S.

“In a way, I'm glad that I was poisoned. If I hadn't been, I wouldn't have found you.”

“Like a man, I am oblivious to the stakes of the diagnosis and to Lynette's rage taking on new proportions. I don't think I would have responded any differently pretransition. I didn't feel like a woman then. In the rare moments I have thought about my female anatomy, it's only to consider how to make it disappear. I yearned for my mother's breast cancer to be the genetic kind so I could have a preventive double mastectomy, and was disappointed when she called me gleefully to tell me it wasn't. I don't anticipate Lynette's rage coming at me, and I make a terrible joke: "Maybe the doctor would do a twofer," I say as we leave the surgeon's office. I would love to get rid of the body parts she is clinging to. I don't have a clue what it feels like to inhabit her body even though in a biology classroom way our bodies still have plenty in common. Binaries mean everything and nothing in these moments. The binary of what remains of our shared women's anatomy still does not allow me to inhabit what Lynette feels like as a woman losing her uterus. The binary that makes me a man in this situation brings a truth home to Lynette's body that we thought we had faced but hadn't.”
