"Not all trans people agree with this nonbinary thing. There are some who do and there are some who don’t. I don’t speak for all [[transsexual]]s or all transgender people. Certainly I honor anybody who wants to be a man and do the work of becoming a man. I honor anyone who mindfully becomes a woman. That’s cool. But, I really don’t get how there’s only two choices. There’s no two of anything else in the entire universe; why should there only be two genders? I don’t get it."<ref name="Pasulka">{{Cite web |title=“A Queer and Pleasant Danger”: Kate Bornstein, Trans Scientology Survivor |last=Pasulka |first=Nicole |work=Mother Jones |date=5 May 2012 |access-date=18 June 2020 |url= https://www.motherjones.com/media/2012/05/kate-bornstein-gender-outlaw-queer-and-pleasant-danger-interview/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230618091040/https://www.motherjones.com/media/2012/05/kate-bornstein-gender-outlaw-queer-and-pleasant-danger-interview/ |archive-date=17 July 2023 }}</ref>
