Carrie Brownstein Quotes

Bodies have a sex, but gender is a thing we made up, like your star sign or nationality. It doesn't really say anything about who you are. The destruction of gender binary would free everybody.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that only gender non-conforming, non-binary, or trans people have a gender identity. But the truth is, everyone has a gender identity.

I do not feel that some things are masculine and others are feminine.

I feel like there's no such thing as gender.

I was a regular little boy who also enjoyed things that girls did.

Hedi Slimane told me I was boyish in his eyes. For him femininity and masculinity are the same thing, the difference is not so interesting, he said.

I don't think of myself as statically a girl.

I do say gender fluid, because I experience my gender identity as being fluid because it's on a spectrum.

I don't view myself as a 'trans actor' or a 'trans model.' I mean, I am - it's part of who I am - but it's not something that solely defines me.

I model as male, female, and everything in between. I model as all genders.

In an ideal world, we would be able to just swap characters' genders around because I don't ever wake up in the morning and think to myself, 'Oh I am such a woman today,' because that is just so ridiculous.

What we really need to look at is gender fluidity and the idea that gender can be customised however you want.

A huge part of my identity is being a woman, and that's really important for me, and that's a big part of my self-expression, so I think it's really interesting sort of exploring what it means if someone doesn't have that.

My definition of gender expands beyond just two genders.

I guess all of us have a little bit of both masculinity and femininity, and bridging the gap between those two things is really fertile.

The gender thing doesn't exist; it's a social construct you don't have to fit into.

Any kind of gender expression is performance for me, regardless of where it is on the spectrum.

And dare love that, and say so too, And forget the He and She.

If there's a distinction between men and women, I don't pay attention to it. Honestly, I don't see it. I think all of us are part feminine and part masculine.

An androgynous mind was not a male mind. It was a mind attuned to the full range of human experience, including the invisible lives of women.

Androgyny suggests a spirit of reconciliation between the sexes; it suggests, further, a full range of experience…it suggests a spectrum upon which human beings choose their places without regard to propriety or custom.

The mind has no sex.

My feminist view - that gender is on a continuum and we are all better off dropping a lot of those binary notions - is one that is shared by the more recent generation of trans activists and theorists.

I quite like androgyny.
