Quote of the Day

Acceptance by some people doesn't make all the hostility of our inflexible systems and norms go away.  And since nonbinary people are invisible in most data collection, it is hard for our voices to be heard.  The irony of this hypervisibility is that while my body and identity may be open to public comment, my thoughts and needs don't seem to matter.

Quote of the Day

Genderqueer is such a broad category, a subset of nonbinary transgender identities that often emphasizes the rejection of social norms and gender roles.  It's meant to subvert and not conform.  It means living in the gray area between the binary genders and asking a lot of questions.
