Trans Men Quotes

“I do not get to savor the masculine cut of my clothes, or the illusion of short hair, or the feeting joy of my skin feeling like mine. Instead, I have to worry if my boyhood is convincing enough to keep me safe.

There is no joy in that. Only fear.”
― Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

“Most people don't have the capacity to imagine more than one gender in a single body. They can't juggle the cognitive dissonance. When they imagine my past they either force me into being a "real girl" or the re-write it, conjuring up a boyhood that never happened, keeping my story coherent for themselves and splitting me in the process. -- I want all my parts to exist without one unraveling the other. Trans men are men, yes, but we're also something more.”
― Griffin Hansbury, Some Strange Music Draws Me In
