Dangerous Quote by Torrey Peters
“Money is a thing that is very, very difficult for people to talk about, especially with transness. Who can afford surgeries? Who can pass because they have money? I'm really interested in that because I think it's, in some ways, one of the most dangerous things to talk about, much more than detransition.”
