Making Presentations, Convincing Goldfish & Ending Controversy!

"I can't be optimistic that we're going to solve it all when it comes to #trans #individuals. The conversation, and the controversy, all come from the same place. It comes from the same people, the same reasons and gets promoted by the same behaviours. It's all identical. If we can solve racism, we can solve transphobia, so I'm doing what I can. I'm not optimistic, but if I don't do anything about it, I don't have any right to complain about it happening either."

Being Common, Being Famous, the Past Life & the Real Life - #DwhellOnIt Episode 64

"Sure, there are #trans #individuals who had their sex assigned at birth by a doctor who has never known them. And accepted by people who assumed they knew what was best for you. And then followed office administrators #stamping papers and typing on keyboards. Assigning a gender identity to someone who never even had a voice in things, let alone having a voice, period. And then, #saying, 'No, my gender identity does not align with my sex assigned at birth.' Thanks for that, by the way, everybody."

Risks, Fears, the Public and Its Jeers - #DwhellOnIt Ep. 63

"Society sucks! That's how it goes. Society sucks. It's not a party. It's not a great time. You don't get high-fives from everybody as soon as they discover you're #trans. You get rejected. You get isolated. You get abused. You get violated. You get fetishized. You get objectified. You get stalked and harassed. You get isolated; I might have mentioned that already. You might get ostracized; I might have mentioned THAT already! It's not a good time. It's not a good time.”

Budgeting, Travelling, Singing and Stereotyping - #DwhellOnIt Ep. 62

"In my thirties, I was still expecting an unkind and unaccepting world, with rejection, isolation, ostracization, and so on. But, the violence. The violence! The flagrant hate! The divisiveness of our society! And the ability for #people to feel like they can impose hate and aggression on people they disagree with without consequence is something that I would never have imagined existing as much as it does today."
