"I always think – look around…the world is insanely complicated? I mean Jesus…Octopuses can change colour, shape and size at will…our brains make billions of neural decisions every second…but you can't for a second understand that some people's genders don't sit in the binary framework of sex?"<ref name="shado">{{Cite web |title="Glamrou is a celebration of my gender-queerness, and she's a celebration of all the female facets of my Arab and Muslim heritage." |author= |work=Shado Magazine |date= |access-date=6 May 2020 |url= https://shado-mag.com/all/glamrou-is-a-celebration-of-my-gender-queerness-and-shes-a-celebration-of-all-the-female-facets-of-my-arab-and-muslim-heritage/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221203185107/https://shado-mag.com/all/glamrou-is-a-celebration-of-my-gender-queerness-and-shes-a-celebration-of-all-the-female-facets-of-my-arab-and-muslim-heritage/|archive-date=17 July 2023}}</ref>
