Alok Vaid-Menon
“What’s never questioned here is, whose standards of authenticity are we being held up to in the first place?”
Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

Alok Vaid-Menon
“How are you supposed to be believed about the harm that you experience when people don't even believe that you exist?

The assumption is that being a masculine man or a feminine woman is normal, and that being "us" is an accessory. Like if you remove our clothing, our makeup, and our pronouns, underneath the surface we are just men and women playing dress-up.”
Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

Alok Vaid-Menon
“It’s not just that you internalize the shame; rather, it becomes you. You no longer need the people at school telling you not to dress like that; you already do it to yourself.”
Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

“I am sorry that the only way we have been taught to heal is to hurt.”
Alok Vaid-Menon, Femme in Public

Alok Vaid-Menon
“We want a world where boys can feel, girls can lead, and the rest of us can not only exist but thrive. This is not about erasing men and women but rather acknowledging that man and woman are two of many—stars in a constellation that do not compete but amplify one another’s shine.”
Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary
