Quotes[edit | edit source]
| « | I think I learned that I was nonbinary before [1969], but I just didn't have the definition. [...] I didn't feel comfortable calling myself a lesbian, not because I have anything against lesbians, I just didn't feel I really fit in. I still don't feel like I really fit in any category.[3] | » |
