"I don't want to rely on the constant repetition or the constant renaming of 'I'm woman, woman, woman' and 'I'm real, real, real' to gain access to the greater – or at least the larger – [[gender binary]] framework. I don’t feel 'found' or 'seen' there; in truth, looking back, I never have. I always felt like an outsider-outside, until 'trans' came along and allowed me the capacity of real feeling and touch. I cannot find (fuck knows, I've really tried) my value within the word 'woman'. It just isn’t happening, and now it’s mine to own it still makes no difference. I find my meaning and my value – erotic, spiritual, conceptual, actual and economic – in the word 'trans'."<ref name="Roche2019">{{Cite web |title="My Realignment Surgery Made Me More Trans, Not More Woman" |last=Roche |first=Juno |work=refinery29.com |date=11 November 2019 |access-date=23 June 2020 |url= https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/trans-power-juno-roche}}</ref>

"Even after [[surgery]], I didn't feel anymore like a woman than I ever felt like a man, and my genitals really just always felt like they were trans genitals and they weren't particularly tied down to any gender. So for me, it was really important to honour my body and to do that, I had to give away words – I had to give away the word woman."<ref name="Ashenden" />
