Dorothy Allison
“The Sex Wars are over, I've been told, and it always makes me want to ask who won. But my sense of humor may be a little obscure to women who have never felt threatened by the way most lesbians use and mean the words "pervert" and "queer." I use the word queer to mean more than lesbian. Since I first used it in 1980 I have always meant it to imply that I am not only a lesbian but a transgressive lesbian -- femme, masochistic, as sexually aggressive as the women I seek out, and as pornographic in my imagination and sexual activities as the heterosexual hegemony has ever believed.”
Dorothy Allison, Skin: Talking About Sex, Class & Literature. SIGNED.

Susan Stryker
“Like the monster, the longer I live in these conditions, the more rage I harbor. Rage colors me as it
presses in through the pores of my skin, soaking in until it becomes the blood that courses through
my beating heart. It is a rage bred by the necessity of existing in external circumstances that work
against my survival.”
Susan Stryker, My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage
