Quotes[edit | edit source]
"I use she as my preferred pronoun. In my experience, she encompasses my gender and my sexuality, which are very different. I Identify as a genderqueer person, and simultaneously as a gay woman and I'm ok with those being at odds with each other sometimes."[2]
"I like being a woman sometimes. I would say 49 percent of the time I love my titties. But I'm not fully a woman. I'm somebody who falls center on the gender spectrum, and it changes day to day. It's just not in me to decide."[3]
"My identities might have once thought to be contradictory but what I love about the time we are living in now is that you can express gender queerness, that you're gay, that you're a lesbian, a girl dating girls. Because I am a girl who dates girls and I have been for a long time. So I am a lesbian. But sometimes I feel like a gay man, you know? Just in my spirit. I'm learning how to be comfortable in between. If you can harness that and feel comfortable in the in-between, it can be freeing and fun. I show it in my art. It's a great perspective to have and I'm happy to have it."[4]
"I've always been kind of a genderqueer person. It's something I kind of came into later 'cause I didn't really think about it as an identity as much as the way it had to do with the people I loved and the way I dressed…I like that I can ride that line on the periphery of femininity. I don't always have to be an active participant. I think that's really freeing."[5]
