Jessica’s Quotes

“problem. But maybe we aren’t the problem; maybe the whole gender system is.”
― Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

“Gender is not what people look like to other people; it is what we know ourselves to be. No one else should be able to tell you who you are; that’s for you to decide.”
― Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

“Gender non-conforming people are not opportunisitic; we are oppressed.”
― Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

“Imagine everyone you encounter all day long telling you that you are not real and that there is something fundamentally wrong with you. Being constantly invalidated takes a toll: 40 percent of trans and gender non-conforming people have attempted suicide.”
― Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

“People judge gender non-conformity because they are insecure about their identities. If they weren’t, then gender variance wouldn’t be so heavily policed.”
― Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary
