“To borrow a metaphor from the kitchen sink… Children form strong opinions easily. They soak up information from their parents, school, and the media, and repeat it back to the world. So when you don’t look or act like what everyone has been told is the norm, you get proverbially barfed on a lot.” ChildrenChildhoodGenderChildGender EqualityGender RolesGender IdentityGender StereotypesGender Inequality Book:Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir Source: Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir
“I've always thought about gender, as someone who has been categorically "gender nonconforming" for my entire life, I was forced to think about it, but obviously I became more conscious of it as a social issue as I've gotten older. And as I've met more folks who are genderqueer or trans, it's been really enlightening to hear their stories, and it got me thinking about my own gender history.” ThinkingHas BeensStoriesSocialMy OwnIssuesMetsConsciousFolksGenderSocial IssuesEnlighteningTrans Author:Liz Prince
“I exist in the zine/small press community, which has always felt more even keel to me, when it comes to creators of varied gender backgrounds. But I also think that there is something to be said about the fact that even though I am female, I present closer to male in my way of dress and attitude/confidence/outspokeness, so I am treated differently by my male counterparts in a positive way.” ThinkingWaySaidFactsFeltCommunityAttitudeFemaleDressesPressesMalesCreatorGenderBackgroundsTreatedMy WayCounterpartsKeelZines Author:Liz Prince
