‘Words have the power to encourage & inspire but also to demean & dehumanize. I know now that epithets are meant to shame us into not being ourselves, to encourage us to perform lies & to be silent about our truths’ @janetmock#redefiningrealness
‘I believe in self determination, autonomy, in people having the freedom to proclaim who they are and define gender for themselves. Our genders are unique as we are.’ @janetmock#redefiningrealness

@janetmock — Thank you for your courage to open up and speak up, and in turn, educating me about the complexity of the gender. Once again, I realized how little I knew when I’ve supposedly wanted equality for all. 🙏🏼 #redefiningrealness
