“Trans women are juvenile elephants. We are much stronger and more powerful than we understand. We are fifteen thousand pounds of muscle and bone forged from rage and trauma, armed with ivory spears and faces unique in nature, living in grasslands where any of the ubiquitous humans may or may not be a poacher. With our strength, we can destroy each other with ease. But we are a lost generation. We have no elders, no stable groups, no one to teach us to countenance pain. No matriarchs to tell the young girls to knock it off or show off their own long lives lived happily and well.”
― Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

“Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“And a step backward, after making a wrong turn, is a step in the right direction.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Player Piano

“Nothing wrecks any kind of love more effectively than the discovery that your previously acceptable behavior has become ridiculous.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake
