None of that had changed, or could be changed by anything as inconsequential as her gender, or skin color, or sexual orientation.”

“One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings.”
