gender

Queer people have to work hard for individualized respect. We exist in a culture that forces us into a two-and-only-two sex and gender binary.

Engaging with a genderfluid person on a deeper level than appearance will mean so much more to them and help them feel accepted and seen.

We want our girls stronger, bolder, and louder. I’ve seen less evidence that we’re willing to let our boys be quieter, softer, and more appreciative of beauty.

Gender stereotypes in movies and on TV shows are more than persistent; they're teaching kids what the culture expects of boys and girls.

I keep waiting for the wane of the “gender reveal party,” one of the most widely-disparaged-on-social-media parenting trends.

Women can still be punished for speaking up about domestic violence, and not just by losing a job but by a legal system that fails to protect them.

As an intersex woman, I don’t fit into the gender binary.

It’s both comforting and disturbing knowing that my experiences navigating as a non-binary person are not unique. This is non-binary invisibility.
