“I hope that by the end of reading 'Stag Dance,' you can no longer real...” — Torrey Peters Quote

I hope that by the end of reading 'Stag Dance,' you can no longer really say for sure who does or doesn't qualify as transgender - or any other gender - not only within the book, but even, and perhaps more freeingly, when you look up from the page.

So many moms I know feel alienated and alone and isolated, and there's so much put on them. And then you see them with each other and they're so happy to share in the labor of taking care of children.

I have a lot of sympathy for people who detransition.

If I'm given a platform, I have to take it and try to share it as best I can.

No group of people who share a political identity march in lockstep.

I fantasize about the networks making a rule that each show's writing staff needs to reflect the gender and racial makeup of its audience.

Love is pure and true; love knows no gender.

I think that often my work is obscured by my gender identity.

In a sense, we are all victims of the misogyny and racism that exist in the world, no matter what our gender or race happens to be.

Just being gender non-conforming opens you to trouble from strangers. And violence.
