Quotes

She's Not There (2003)

  • Gender is many things, but one thing it is surely not is a hobby.
  • You know, don’t you, that no amount of wishing that this were not the case can make it not the case. No amount of praying that you are not transgendered will make you something other than what you are. No amount of love from anyone will make you fit inside a body that does not match your spirit.
