Life already seemed to be full of joys that one wasn't allowed to feel, so adding one more to the pile came pretty naturally."-Amy Schneider, In the Form of a Question: The Joys and Rewards of a Curious Life
"I deprived myself of a joy in my life, because it was a joy only girls were allowed to feel. Life already seemed to be full of joys that one wasn't allowed to feel, so adding one more to the pile came pretty naturally."-Amy Schneider, In the Form of a Question: The Joys and Rewards of a Curious Life
"I grew up with a strong desire for invisibility. In large part, this was due to the ever-present feeling that I was failing at performing my gender. The whole boy thing was just so exhausting, and I never felt like I got it quite right. I was always on the verge of being exposed as unmanly, and I had no idea how to avoid it. Failing at boy-ness was an unforgivable sin, so my only hope was to not be noticed. Each new encounter with another human being could be the one where I slip up and have my cover blown, and be punished, possibly with violence? And so I began limiting those encounters whenever possible."-Amy Schneider, In the Form of a Question: The Joys and Rewards of a Curious Life
