Quotes by Torrey Peters (?)

“Many people think a trans woman’s deepest desire is to live in her true gender, but actually it is to always stand in good lighting.”
― Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby

“She knew that no matter how you self-identify ultimately, chances are that you succumb to becoming what the world treats you as.”

“Yes.” Reese nods. “I mean, they go through everything I go through as a trans woman. Divorce is a transition story. Of course, not all divorced women go through it. I’m talking about the ones who felt their divorce as a fall, or as a total reframing of their lives. The ones who have seen how the narratives given to them since girlhood have failed them, and who know there is nothing to replace it all. But who still have to move forward without investing in new illusions or turning bitter—all with no plan to guide them. That’s as close to a trans woman as you can get. Divorced women are the only people who know anything like what I know. And, since I don’t really have trans elders, divorced women are the only ones I think have anything to teach me, or who I care to teach in return.”
― Torrey Peters, Detransition, Baby
