“As ace folks, we go through much of our lives searching for the language to describe what we feel. We don't see our experiences reflected in the world. We don't see them depicted in the media we encounter and consume. And we don't recognize them in the people we surround ourselves with. We feel like these little islands of experience, isolated, alone in what we feel.”

“How do you take the fight out of half the population and render them willing slaves? You tell them they're meant to do nothing but serve from the minute they're born. You tell them they're weak. You tell them they're prey. You tell them over and over, until it's the only truth they're capable of living.”
