Maia Kobabe
“The clearest metaphor I had for my own gender identity in college was the image of a scale. A huge weight had been placed on one side, without my permission. I was constantly trying to weigh down the other side. But the end goal wasn't masculinity - the goal was
b a l a n c e.”
Maia Kobabe, Gender Queer: A Memoir

Maia Kobabe
“[Why don't you identify as a trans man instead of nonbinary?] Because really, I want people to be confused about my gender at all times. I don't want a beard, and I don't want my voice to change. I don't want MORE gendered traits, I want LESS.”
Maia Kobabe, Gender Queer: A Memoir

Maia Kobabe
“I remember when I first realized I never had to have children. It was like walking out of a narrow alley into a wide open field. I never have to get married. I never have to date anyone. I don’t even have to care about sex. These realizations were like gifts that I gave myself.”
Maia Kobabe, Gender Queer: A Memoir

Stephanie  Land
“I found myself wondering what it would be like to have enough money to be able to hire someone to clean my house. I’d never been in that position before, and I honestly doubted I ever would be. If I ever had to, I thought, I’d give them a big tip and probably offer them food or leave them good-smelling candles, too. I’d treat them like a guest, not a ghost. An equal.”
Stephanie Land, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive

Patricia Hill Collins
“Knowledge without wisdom is adequate for the powerful, but wisdom is essential for the survival of the subordinate.”
Patricia Hill Collins, Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment
