Torrey Peters
“IF YOU ARE a trans girl who knows many other trans girls, you go to church a lot, because church is where they hold the funerals.”
Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

Torrey Peters
“Sometimes the wonder over the object of a crush is indistinguishable from the simple relief that you are still able to leap into one at all.”
Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

Torrey Peters
“She knew that no matter how you self-identify ultimately, chances are that you succumb to becoming what the world treats you as.”
Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

Torrey Peters
“The moms I knew when I was little didn't have to prove that it was okay to want a child. Sure, a lot of women I know wonder if they do want a child, but not why. It's assumed why. The question cis women get asked is: Why don't you want kids? And then they have to justify that. If I had been born cis, I would never even have had to answer these questions. I wouldn't have had to prove that I deserve my models of womanhood. But I'm not cis. I'm trans. And so until the day that I am a mother, I'm constantly going to have to prove that I deserve to be one. That it's not unnatural or twisted that I want a child's love. Why do I want to be a mother? After all those beautiful women I grew up with, the ones who chaperoned my classes on field trips, or made me lunch when I was at their house, or sewed costumes for all the little girls that I ice skated with — and you too, Katrina, for that matter — have to explain their feelings about motherhood, then, I'll explain mine. And do you know what I'll say? Ditto.”
Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

Adrienne Maree Brown
“Pleasure is not one of the spoils of capitalism. It is what our bodies, our human systems, are structured for; it is the aliveness and awakening, the gratitude and humility, the joy and celebration of being miraculous.”
Adrienne Maree Brown, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good
