Laurie Penny is an English journalist, columnist and author. She came out in 2015 as a genderqueer woman, using the pronouns she/her or they/them.[1]
Quotes[edit | edit source]
"I choose 'genderqueer woman' to signal that I acknowledge my unwilling membership in the socially imposed sex class of 'woman.' Politically female, personally genderqueer. It works for me."[2]
"I am a woman, politically, because that's how people see me and that's how the state treats me. And sometimes I'm also a boy. Gender is something I perform, when I put on my binder or paint my nails. When I walk down the street. When I talk to my boss. When I kiss my partner in their makeup and high heels.
I don't want to see a world without gender. I want to see a world where gender is not oppressive or enforced, where there are as many ways to express and perform and relate to your own identity as there are people on Earth. I want a world where gender is not painful, but joyful.
But until then, we've got this one. And for as long as we all have to navigate a gender binary that’s fundamentally broken and a sex class system that seeks to break us, I'm happy to be a gender traitor."[1]
