==Quotes==
"You don't have to be one thing for the rest of your life. … Play with your [[Orientation|sexuality]], play with [[gender identity]], play with your [[gender expression|expression]]. That's what we're all doing, we’re transitioning every single day. Your [[transition]] doesn’t have to look like anyone else's! [...] I use the word [[bisexual]], I use the word [[pansexual]], non-binary, [[gender non-conforming]]. The words are so much more simple than what we are. I think in the fields of social justice, we have the tendency of getting hung up on the language or the movement, rather than the cause-and-effect and who we’re really talking about. I’m more interested in who you actually are than what you are. I’m looking forward to a time where we can all just be an individual and we don’t necessarily have to be anything but that."<ref name="jared">{{Cite web |title=Nico Tortorella Opens Up About Sexuality & Gender Identity |author= |work=Just Jared |date=13 July 2019 |access-date=1 April 2020 |url= http://www.justjared.com/2019/07/13/nico-tortorella-opens-up-about-sexuality-gender-identity/}}</ref>

"For me, 'they/them' fully encompasses all of it that exists in my own multi-dimensional dynamic being. Right? It just feels more inclusive. It feels wider."<ref name="abc" />
