“Liberation is a praxis : the action and reflection of men and women upon their world in order to transform it.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“if i am not in the world simply to adapt to it, but rather transform it, and if it is not possible to change the world without a certain dream or vision for it, i must make use of every possibility there is not only to speak about my utopia, but also to engage in practices consistent with it.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Indignation

“The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.”
― Confucius

“Being exceptional isn’t revolutionary, it’s lonely. It separates you from your community. Who are you, really, without community? I have been held up consistently as a token, as the “right” kind of trans woman (educated, able-bodied, attractive, articulate, heteronormative). It promotes the delusion that because I “made it,” that level of success is easily accessible to all young trans women. Let’s be clear: It is not.”
