“I know what I am. I know that I've chosen to identify as a transgender woman, and that I am - by and large - happy with where I am in this world. I'm far from perfect, and I could give you a list as long as my arms of the things I'd love to change. Nevertheless, I am still here, and I am still me, and no one can change that without my permission. -Gwendolyn Ann Smith, "We're All Someone's Freak”

“Since the mirror of gentrification is representation in popular culture, increasingly only the gentrified get their stories told in mass ways. They look in the mirror and think it's a window, believing that corporate support for and inflation of their story is in fact a neutral and accurate picture of the world. If all art, politics, entertainment, relationships, and conversations must maintain that what is constructed and imposed by force is actually natural and neutral, then the gentrified mind is a very fragile parasite.”

“Child, I am taking you to The Autumnal Ball.” “The . . . but . . . but . . . I don’t have a ticket.” “Don’t worry about it.” “But how—” “Don’t worry about it.” “But I don’t have a thousand dollars for—” “I said, don’t worry about it.” “But how can I not worry about it? Worrying is what I do! About everything!” With an unexpectedly calm smile, Coco put I finger to my lips. “And that’s why you need a fairy godmother. For the rest of the night you’re not allowed to worry about anything. You have one, and only one, responsibility. To have a dream come true and have the sweetass time of your sweetass life. Do you understand me?”

“My body is a political battlefield. It is a place of war, of death and suffering, of triumph and victory, of damage and repair, of blood and tears and sweat. It is a place where memories go to find purpose for their existence. It is a place where humans cast all inhibitions aside to discover what exists at their very core. It is a place of growth wearing a mask of destruction. It is a challenge, not for the faint of heart, beckoning us to face it with eyes wide open. The only war is within. When you are ready to fight it, the field awaits.”

“Non ci so proprio fare con le promesse" si disse, pensando a tutte quelle che aveva fatto in passato, a se stessa, agli altri, a suo marito. Pensò a quanto si era sentita invincibile nei confronti della vita, quando le aveva pronunciate. Invece era stata la vita a essere invincibile e a ripresentare, ogni volta, i conti lasciati in sospeso. Con quanta umiltà andrebbero fatte le promesse, pensò, invece ne facciamo sempre tante e nel farle ci sopravvalutiamo. Pensiamo di essere pronti a tutto pur di mantenerle. Poi con il tempo, tra le promesse, compare la parola "tranne" ed è questa che cambia le cose. Sono pronta a tutto tranne a star male, tranne a rinunciare, tranne a calpestare una parte di me, tranne a fare a meno di qualcosa che amo. Tranne, tranne, tranne... finché la promessa diventa un souvenir impolverato del passato.”

“»Du bist Nummer 55«, sagt Marga. Manuela blickt auf zu der Nummer über ihrem Schrank. Eine schwarze 55. »Deine Kleider tragen die Nummer 55. Deine Schuhe gehören in die Stiefelkammer in das Fach 55, dein Mantel und dein Hut kommen unten neben dem Hauseingang in die Garderobe, Abteilung 55. Deine Waschkabine ist Nummer 55, ebenso dein Bett.« Manuela fühlte, wie sie langsam zu Nummer Fünfundfünfzig wurde.”

“—Todo el mundo dice “Si te ama, te va a aceptar como eres”, y eso es justo lo que más me aterra, porque… ¿Y si no lo hace? —Las manos me tiemblan debajo de la mesa. Aprieto los puños, tratando de sostenerme, de no desmoronarme—. Esto no es una diferencia política o de religión. Es quién soy. Y si no me acepta, ¿qué quiere decir eso? ¿Que su amor no es tan fuerte? ¿O que era de mentiras? ¿Qué hago si eso sucede?”

“Muerdo sus labios, no para hacerle daño, sino para susurrarle todo lo que mi cuerpo quiere gritar. Que la necesito. No solo por el deseo que me quema por dentro, ni por las ganas de sentir su piel contra la mía. La necesito porque, en medio del caos, su cuerpo es el único lugar donde todo se silencia. Cuando la tengo cerca, el miedo no desaparece, pero se vuelve más llevadero.”

“Me encanta despertarme junto a ella. Disfruto de los silencios cómodos mientras tomamos café con leche por las mañanas. Me gusta verla de reojo mientras estudia sentada a mi lado, en este escritorio improvisado que le armamos con la mesa y la silla del balcón. Me derrite verla poniéndose mis camisas como pijamas. Me encanta oírla tararear, rasguear las cuerdas de su guitarra y escribir canciones en su libreta. Desde que Paula está aquí, en mi casa, no puedo imaginarme sin ella.”

“The stories I used to read where men transformed into women suggested a kind of instantaneous loss—a sudden vacuum where their manhood had once been, both literally and figuratively. But what has happened to me has actually been a slow blossoming, a colonization of myself with myself. The estrogen dissolving under my tongue will enter my bloodstream and slowly disseminate throughout my body, just as the other pills I am taking will shut down production of testosterone in other parts of my body. Sooner or later, my cells will realize that estrogen is now my dominant hormone and begin to soften my skin, to grow my breasts, to thicken my hair. We are, none of us, a single set of destinies set by the accident of our birth. We can change and be changed. Our bodies know the language they must speak to make us the people we must become.”

“Gay rights aren't predicated on being born gay or having the right gene. Gay rights are predicated on having choice and consent. If you're a man and you can find another man that consents to have sex with you, it's the consent that gives you the right to have sex with him. Genetics are irrelevant when it comes to sexual rights. Just as gay rights are based on choice and consent, so are prostitution rights. All sexual rights are based on choice and consent.”
