“Understanding rustled through me, soft as leaves. It wasn’t quite the same, but I’d often felt I didn’t fit inside the boundaries of the word girl. It reminded me of a country I could happily visit, but the longer I stayed, the more I knew I couldn’t live there all the time. There were moments when I sorely wished to be free of the confines of this body, the expectations it seemed to carry.”

“Our ideas of gender and sex being opposites does not fit the overlapping complexity of gender or sex. Is a beach part of the land or the sea? It has aspects of both, and tides that flow between two states. Some genderfluid people experience something very similar and can only say with certainty where they are right now, knowing that tomorrow they may feel very differently.”

“I want to be as laid-back about gender as they are. But I'm not laid-back at all, thanks to Dad. I'm Ashley or I'm Asher and that's that. While I'm switching, for that week or so, everything feels gross and inside out and bass-ackward until I can settle into what I'm switching to. That 'identify as airport' thing Dad said was icky, but it also hit a nail on the head. I hate being in between. It's like when a lousy radio DJ doesn't know how to fade one song into another. That few seconds when both songs are playing but the beats aren't blending and you're like, Oh my god, go back to DJ school.”

“-Kat- Pronunció mi nombre como si fuera una especie de oración, y luego me dio un beso en la piel detrás de la oreja-. Rompí todas las reglas de mi clase por sanarte y mantenerte conmigo. Me casé contigo y quemé toda una ciudad para mantenerte a salvo. He matado por ti. ¿Crees que iba a olvidar lo que significas para mi? ¿Que nada en este mundo; en cualquier mundo; sería más fuerte que mi amor por ti?”
