“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.”
― Nevo Zisin, Finding Nevo

“i’ll be okay
even if i don’t understand
how i don’t want to be a girl, but also don’t want to be a man”
