I have never wanted to claim I know what is best for Israel.

If you go to Europe, public bathrooms have any-gender sink areas and stalls for everyone to use. This is completely reasonable. It potentially involves the destruction of the urinal industry, which I think people would be happy to see go away.

I think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.

There are a whole bunch of people - Republicans or sports fans or reality TV fans - who probably would never have recognized that they have trans people in their world. Caitlyn Jenner really is thinking about the movement and saving lives, so I know that her intentions are honorable.

There are times when folks will point out certain characteristics I have, like me being an interruptor, and attribute them to my Jewish identity.

My family gets incredibly tense and stressed out around traveling. There's something really beautiful in that vulnerability.

There is a real comfort with the position of the victim, which can either result in true empathy or deep paranoia.
