Trans Quotes

There can be no doubt that our innate moral emotions and instincts were acquired in the hundreds of thousand years-probably half a million years-in which Homo sapiens lived in small hunting and gathering groups and developed a physiological constitution which governed his innate instincts. These instincts are still very strong in us. Yet civilization developed by our gradually learning cultural rules which were trans­mitted by teaching and which served largely to restrain and suppress some of those natural instincts. (Friedrich Hayek)
Being trans in some ways is very similar to being an atheist, in that some people don't grasp it. People that come from different backgrounds just [say], "What do you mean you don't believe in God?” They don't get you. To them [religion] is just so obvious, and I feel like I keep on having that with gender, also. Some people just have in their mind very firm ideas of gender, and they just can't get it into their head. View quote

I wanted to show that if you claim being trans is unacceptable in traditional Judaism, well, here is a community that is not just okay with accepting me as I am, but is celebrating with me, rejoicing with me. What I'm hoping is that by sharing my story, others in the same situation will realize that you can have your name changed in a synagogue. There are so many synagogues where you can't, but there are also those where you can - the Jewish Reform movement, the Conservative movement. Within Orthodoxy, there's still a long way to go. Every time something like this is done, it's one step closer to acceptance for everyone. View quote

People exotic-ise you [trans individuals) in a weird way. They conflate sexuality and gender, which have nothing to do with each other. If you date women, it's like, ‘Oh, you like women, so you wanted to become one'. If you like guys, it's ‘Oh, you're gay, but you didn't want to be, so you transitioned'. View quote

It's not that transgender people are going to go and molest children. It's that once you say men can go into women's bathrooms - men who are out shopping with their little daughters and don't have mommy to bring her in there. It's not that the trans are going to molest them, it's that a child molester now has the right to go into that bathroom. View quote

...I was desperate to write a trans character for whom it wasn't really an issue. After you come out, after the initial makeover and being on hormones for a few years, what happens next? That's a story nobody tells... View quote
Juno Dawson
Brands have to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to diversity...Don't hire a black woman or a trans woman or a disabled woman and then get cross if they have opinions about their colour or their gender or their disability. The danger is if you're hired just to be pretty but then you start having opinions about abortion, then you're gonna get dropped. And of course you should be able to do both. View quote

Now his principal doctrines were these. That atoms and the vacuum were the beginning of the universe; and that everything else existed only in opinion. (trans. Yonge 1853) (Democritus)
With mind distracted, never thinking, "Death is coming," To slave away on the pointless business of mundane life, And then to come out empty--it is a tragic error. (116) trans by Robert Thurman. View quote
Huston Smith
The ‘pretty privilege' can give you access to spaces, just like your able body gives you access. But it makes impossible beauty standards for many other trans girls who are struggling with that right now. View quote
Janet Mock
We have a law that everybody has been kicking us for – a law prohibiting homosexual propaganda among minors. But listen, let a person grow up, become an adult and then to decide who he or she is. Leave children in peace. There are so many inventions nowadays...they invented five or six genders, transformers, trans... I do not even understand what it is. View quote
Vladimir Putin
We were fed up being harassed and strip-searched by the police, denied medical treatment, refused housing and even barred from using public bathrooms just because we were trans. We were tired of being beaten and murdered. So we went out and worked. View quote
