"I should not have to keep fixing the damage done to us. It would be so easy to not hurt us and the Speakers can't even do that. It's more work to hurt us. It's more work to be cruel - and yet they continue."-Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth
"I do not get to savor the masculine cut of my clothes, or the illusion of short hair, or the feeting joy of my skin feeling like mine. Instead, I have to worry if my boyhood is convincing enough to keep me safe. There is no joy in that. Only fear."-Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth
"My name is Daphne.' Daphne? In that moment, it's as if I've peeled the skin away from the chest of a patient, revealing a beating heart. A boy could not say that name as if terrified the syllables will break in the mouth. A boy-born-boy could not recognize what I am. Of course her name is Daphne. I stand up straight, taking a step from the door; and then another, and another. She's like me."-Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth
