"The personal is the political. Even if some people born with transsexualism or transgenderism can hide it and stay in the closet at great emotional cost and in doing so amass a lot of male privilege there is very little in this world to compare with coming out trans for hitting the down button on the mobility elevator." -- Suzan, 2009-07-09
[Yes, I realize this quote by itself glosses over the existence of trans men. The essay it was taken from is specifically about women.]
