Confused Quote by Torrey Peters
“There are times when I think that trans women have a certain wisdom on gender, and can see the ways it's performed that cis people can't. Then there are other times I think trans women are idiots who are just as confused about gender as everybody else, we're just confused from a slightly different position.”
