“We shared a common mission, which meant we got in plenty of shit, together: surviving as a tam was what created esprit de corps. It had nothing to do with wearing common badges, the colour of skin, or having all the same body parts. It was surviving shit together.”

“Subconsciously they were trying to place me in a box, nice and neatly defined by their own beliefs, upbringing, and paradigms about women. Paradoxically, I was fighting it every step of the way because I wanted to fit in with them, instead of just letting us all adapt to one another, most naturally. In many ways, I was strengthening their discomfort by trying to artificially undo everything they had ever been programed to believe. It was all upside down inside of me, and as a result, it was all wrong on the outside as well.”

“They couldn't possibly understand why I would not want a baby. It was what we did, us good Catholic Perron girls. We were baby machines, my mother would say proudly, counting her precious grandchildren like winning lottery tickets.”
