“Understand that people are going to tell you “no,” and people are going to say negative things about you, but I want you to pretend that you’re holding up a mirror and they’re actually just saying it to themselves. They see a light in you, and they want to attack it. That’s because you’re having fun, you’re free.”

“But no matter the reason, being left for dead is no small thing. It changes you. It can bring terror but can also strip it away. At the edge of the accepted world there breathes another way of being. I had lost so much and yet I carried so much inside me. I'd survived thus far and that very knowledge made me bold.”

“I was trying to say to my old stuck-in-her-ways friend that this doesn’t change anything about how you live your life or how you move in the world. It is simply the recognition that another person uses different pronouns or wants to be seen in a different way. It doesn’t require anything from you except for empathy.”
