“I've always been transgender, and I always will be. Having said that, my spirit …” — Anohni

At the end of the day, the sovereignty of maleness is an illusion. In essence and in origin, we are all entirely female.

This illusion that a lower class has less intelligence than a higher class is a complete fake-out.

As a transgendered artist, I have always occupied a place outside of the mainstream. I have gladly paid a price for speaking my truth in the face of loathing and idiocy.

We're being challenged to do something so profound, it's unprecedented in the history of our species, and there couldn't be more at stake. It's not even our species at stake; it's the whole dream of life on earth that's taken 4.5 billion years to realize - all this beautiful pastoral life on earth.
