"It’s unlikely Rowling’s agenda in writing this series is to perpetuate the trauma of colonization; as an affluent white writer from Britain, a country which has reaped the spoils of the genocide on our peoples, that is precisely the outcome."
"...for people who have survived the greatest genocide in known history, it is justifiably important to fight, if need be, to keep our bloodlines alive and thriving, mixed or otherwise."
"In my zeal to be a 'real woman', I was once prepared to do anything and everything to pass as cisgender—banking my identity not on self acceptance, but on being accepted by everybody else. "
"I am not femme because I am a woman, rather, I am femme because I am a feminist who is self-empowered to express herself and make choices according to her personal preferences."
