QuoteThe fact that I have chosen to use the pronoun she does not mean I am always comfortable with the word, or that it has ceased to chafe me in certain places. I make this choice for more practical reasons. She fits better than he does, and I am interested in stretching and expanding what the word she can encompass.

QuoteThe fact that I have chosen to use the pronoun she does not change my politics, my perversions, my preferences or my mind about anything. I am no less transgendered than I was. I am no less of an ally to my transsexual brothers and sisters. I will continue to fight for their right to define and own and control their identities and their bodies, just as I always have. I have always believed that a trans person's right to self-determination and access to medical treatment is a feminist issue, as much as a woman's right to safe and legal abortion and birth control is a feminist issue.
