“My identity will always inform my experience and shape my perception. ...” — Hari Nef Quote

“My identity will always inform my experience and shape my perception. But I am an unremarkable person.”

“I can say with confidence that my trans/transfeminine identity emerges as the most heavily problematized aspect of my lived experience. My transness is not a problem on its own but problematized by a society that reviles it, hates it, fails to understand it - or does not wish to.”

“Being a woman is an option, being trans is an option, and they're options that appeal to me. We need to listen to people - not labels, not semantics.”

“Now I'm just known as McDreamy, I've lost all identity as Patrick Dempsey, I'm now McDreamy.”

“I was happy being a journalist. I didn't realize losing my job, my identity went with it.”

“I'm right at a time when I'm strongly finding my identity inside of my work.”
