So many office situations show no regard for people with anxiety, yet we’re the bad guys if we can’t cope.
“Anytime I’m dealing with something personally, I look to see which ancestor before me already discussed it. I don’t let their work dictate my every action, but I know that I am in a much better postion when I am informed by their work. I use my history as a tool to fight against my marginalization. The greatest tool you have in fighting the oppression of your Blackness and queerness and anything else within your identity is to be fully educated on it.”

“I often wonder what this world would look like if people were simply told, "You are having a baby with a penis, or a vagina, or other genitalia."
What if parents were also given instructions to nurture their baby by paying attention to what the child naturally gravitates toward, and to simply feed those interests? What if parents let their children explore their own gender instead of pushing them down one of the only two roads society tells us exist?”

“It’s entirely different to struggle with white kids because I was Black, and Black kids because I was gay. That double marginalization was a tiresome burden.”

“We are not as different as you think, and all our stories deserve to be celebrated and told.”

“But when I tell my sons that they should be feminists, I don’t try to sell it to them based on the benefits they will reap. I tell them what I also tell white people who are looking for reasons to be antiracist: Yes, it will offer some real benefits for you. Your life will be better in many ways when we work to end oppression. But it will not always benefit you. Sometimes it may seem like justice is disadvantaging you when the privileges you’ve routinely enjoyed are threatened. But you have to do it anyway, because you believe that women and people of color are human beings and that we deserve to be free from oppression, even when that means you personally have to give some things up.”
