"Some feminists, I think unwittingly, have allied themselves in places like the U.K. and Spain with the far right when it comes to instigating this phantasm about gender. I understand those fears, but that doesn't mean that I think they're based on knowledge. Perhaps those feminists need a better understanding of who trans people are. Womanhood won't be erased just because we open the category and invite some more people in."
"Cis women know what it's like to struggle for bodily autonomy, with many U.S. states having banned or severely restricted abortion, and to face violence. So they should sympathize with trans people's efforts to get the health care they need and be safe from violence."
"This is a moment for expanding alliances, not to have sectarian struggles about bathrooms. Young people should be able to take time to find their own way to understand their gender."
