{{quote|I love the word [[queer]], because what's useful about it is that it has the potential to be radically inclusive. I hope it signals an interest in, if not radical political thought, at least a destabilising. Destabilising binary ideas of [[gender]] and [[sex]]. I really struggled with this feeling of not being [[trans]] enough, I don't feel like any of the words really work. I like words that leave things a little unclear. The main thing for me is if you respect people self-determination, and if somebody says they're queer, or they're trans, they are, and it's not that big of a deal.<ref name="Nolan" />}} | |||
