…gender is not sane. It's not sane to call a rainbow black and white.

Your life's work begins when your great joy meets the world's great hunger.

I honor anybody who wants to be a man and do the work of becoming a man. I honor anyone who mindfully becomes a woman. That's cool. But, I really don't get how there's only two choices. There's no two of anything else in the entire universe; why should there only be two genders? I don't get it.

Growing up we were secular Jews, but what I got out of Judaism at that time in my life was questions. Everything was a question. "Dad, is there a heaven? Is there a hell?" You never could get an answer. That informed a lot of my reasons for getting into Scientology, because they had all the answers. They said I was not my body, not my mind. I don't have a soul; I am an immortal soul. I've lived many lives and I'll live endlessly into the future, and as an immortal soul I have no gender.

It's easy to fictionalize an issue when you're not aware of the many ways in which you are privileged by it.

What is a man? What is a woman? And why do we have to be one or the other?

There's no such thing as hurting someone for their own good. There's only hurting someone for your own good.
