Alok says, about people accidentally using he/him instead of they/them:
"It's not you speaking when you misgender me, it's everyone that has spoken to you before."
I really like this. It's true, and acknowledges our interconnected minds. And also, it's like, every time you use the right pronouns for someone, you're making a better world for everyone, going forward for a very long time, because you're a part of someone else's language.

“Transgender people have been here forever…I look forward to more trans people joining me in elected office and all other kinds of leadership roles in our society." Andrea Jenkins
