Susan Stryker
“In the body I was born with, I had been invisible as the person I considered myself to be; I had been invisible as a queer while the form of my body made my desires look straight. Now, as a dyke I am invisible among women; as a transsexual, I am invisible among dykes. As the partner of a new mother, I am often invisible as a transsexual, a woman, and a lesbian. I’ve lost track of the friends and acquaintances these past nine months who’ve asked me if I was the father. It shows so dramatically how much they simply don’t get what I’m doing with my body. The high price of whatever visible, intelligible, self-representation I have achieved makes the continuing experience of invisibility maddeningly difficult to bear.”
Susan Stryker, My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage

Kai  McCarthy
“What kind of useless anger / can cause hatred towards love?”
Kai McCarthy, Holding The Moon With Lavender Hands
