"After a lot of thought (years of it! wow!), I realized that I was transgender and wanted to transition. But transition to what? Nonbinary is a nice word for folks like myself that fall outside or shift between male and female identities and appearances. 'Nonbinary' complements exploration and experimentation, and has a dash of defiance. I can be a little of column A, a little of column B, and sometimes I can just wander off the page entirely."<ref name="nino_FAQs">{{Cite web |title=FAQs |author= |work=Nino Cipri |date= |access-date=14 April 2020 |url= https://ninocipri.com/faq/}}</ref> | "After a lot of thought (years of it! wow!), I realized that I was transgender and wanted to transition.

We're hounded out of public places through ridicule and refusal. We face violence (like all monsters inevitably do) and commit or consider suicide in higher numbers (because the world has no room for us). But 'human' has a high entrance fee. Traveling from monster hood and assimilating into humanity demands stripping out the most essential parts of yourself. I would rather be whole and a force to be reckoned with. I'd rather be a monster, aligned with other monsters."<ref>{{cite web|title= | |||
