Quote by Aytekin Yılmaz

“Our sit-in action unmasked many things. We realized that human rights organizations are not truly advocates of rights. We saw that writers and artists are hypocritical. We observed that they mention victims of the state, but they do not even speak the names of victims of organizations”

“A lot of people in the community really advocate for people being out, owning who they are, and spreading awareness. If I was out all the time, I would feel more dysphoric than if I'm just able to live my life as a guy and not have to worry. I don't think it's a selfish thing to want to live a life that would make you happier. The whole reason I transitioned was so that I could be happier. In the end, it's everyone's own life. You've got to live it the way you want.”

“Every milestone of civilization--the end of slavery, democracy, equal rights for men and women--these were all Utopian fantasies once, until they happened. That's why I think that history is actually the most subversive discipline of all the social sciences, because history shows us that things can be different, they don't have to be this way, we can change them.”
