“I'm Dylan. I'm so cool. I want to date myself, but I don't know how! You want to date me instead? You're so lucky!”

“People exotic-ise you [trans individuals) in a weird way. They conflate sexuality and gender, which have nothing to do with each other.

To become one with your feelings so that, when you think — it is.”
