"[E]verything I write is queer, and pretty much always has been. I was lucky enough to find queer books when I was a young teen in the late nineties–authors like Poppy Z. Brite and comics like HotHead Paisan, Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist, plus tons of zines and poetry collections — that reassured me I ~~wasn’t~~ the only gender-confused weirdo who got crushes on multiple genders and the occasional monster. I'm lucky that I encountered queer lit when I did; it was a place where I could see myself reflected back, or that articulated questions that I was fumbling through. It's important to me to keep writing in that space, with characters that reflect the community I know."<ref name="chir_Nino">{{Cite web |title=Nino Cipri on Homesick(ness) |last=Sides |first=Bradley |work=Chicago Review of Books |date=9 October 2019 |access-date=14 April 2020 |url= https://chireviewofbooks.com/2019/10/09/nino-cipri-on-homesickness/}}</ref>

"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>
