"“There is hope for me because I did get out of the Brahmin mindset with regard to sex. When I think about how I came out to my mother, I think she was more disturbed that I had had pre-marital sex than that I had same-sex sex. Good Brahmin girls only had post-marital sex till they made two or three babies. I’m not a good Brahmin girl, I’ve had sex before marriage, and the kind that can’t even make babies.”

“I also think it’s more possible as a queer woman to defy beauty standards because the idea of feminine beauty is so often depicted through a male gaze; beauty standards are a product of patriarchy meant for the gratification of heterosexual men. So what if those men don’t find me attractive? Doesn’t affect me one way or the other.”
