“Things are so busy and so quick, and there’s so much going on, you have to realise the time when you have to take a step back, take a breath and really think back to where you come from. I’m from a very, very rural place. There’s really nobody out there, just roads and farms. I had a long transition to get to where I am now. I moved away when I was young, when I was about 19. I’d literally come from an area with dirt roads and stuff like that, right to the centre of a city of about five million people. It’s been great. I’m based in New York and every day it's amazing.” PeopleThinkingLongYoungStuffCitiesStepsMillionsFiveNew YorkAreasBreathsMovedBusyRealisingFarmsTransitionDirtCentreWhere You ComeDirt Roads Author:Diego Klattenhoff

“In each experience of my life, I have had to step out of one little space of the known light, into a large area of darkness. I had to stand awhile in the darkness, and then gradually God has given me light. But not to linger in. For as soon as that light has felt familiar, then the call has always come to step out ahead again into new darkness.” LittlesLightFaithGivenFeltSpaceKnownStepsDarknessCourageAreasFamiliar Author:Mary McLeod Bethune
“Neil [Simon] was considered our greatest [living playwright] at the time [of their marriage]. Maybe he still is; I don't know. But anyway, he was hugely successful, and I just kind of got folded into that. And in some ways, he protected me, but in other ways, I wasn't fully able to step out, you know? He didn't want me to go away so much. The work that we did together was great, and I don't regret it, but what I am saying is that I didn't get an opportunity to explore some other areas that were offered to me early on. I took what I might call a U-turn.” KnowsWayWantKindStillsMightAbleTogetherTurnsOpportunityStepsSuccessfulRegretAreasGoing AwayWant MeProtectedPlaywrightDon't Regret Author:Marsha Mason

“Be willing to take some risks in the areas of work and money. If we do only what we think we should do in order to make money and be secure, we won't listen to the intuitive voice that tells us to try something new, to be more creative, or to move on to the next step on our path. When we listen to our intuition and take some risks, we are not alone.

“I always try and stay one step ahead of people, not looking like I looked like last week, so I can be as anonymous as possible and part of it is just for me. It is fun to just come up with new and bizarre colors for each area of your body and things like that, but there are some parts of it that I just keep wanting to negate myself.

“Just across the ocean in, say Kenya or Tanzania, a two-gender system is vital for the survival of most of the folks who live there. Men do men's work, women do women's work, and so it all gets done and the jackals can't get into the hut and eat grandpa. So, the future of the transgender movement is like the future of all human rights movements: whatever the state of things in your area now, with some work it all gets a little bit better all the time, even if it is sometimes three steps ahead and two steps back.” IfsMenHumansLittlesTwoSometimesStatesDoneThreeBitsStepsRightsMovementOceanLittle BitSurvivalAreasFolksHuman RightsGenderWorking ItTransgenderKenyaGrandpaHutsTanzaniaJackals Author:Kate Bornstein
