“I learned growing up that [being] feminine … is looked at as not worthy, something to laugh at, unlike masculinity, which is looked at as power. I grew up thinking to myself, ‘You’re already born into this body, you’re already supposed to be masculine, and masculine is more empowering.’ But I hate the idea of that…. Feminine is empowering. I am empowered by being feminine.” – AJ Clementine
