“I would love for every trans woman, woman of colour, disabled woman, un-smiling woman, old woman, fat woman, happy woman, queer woman, every kind of woman in this world to be able to walk down a deserted street at night and never again fear the approach of others, never again be denied something because of their sex or gender presentation, never again be exposed to the violence that narrow and bigoted views of gender lead to. Have gender and sex as things with only positive results, no longer as a step back in the world and a reason to oppress. I want people to be released from the oppressions and connotations of gender.”
