”Transfeminism believes that a society that honors cross-gender identities is one that treats people of all genders fairly because our existence is seen as problematic only when there is a rigid gender hierarchy. It is essential for our survival and dignity that we claim our place in feminism, not in a threatening or invasive manner, but in friendly and cooperative ways. Initial suspicion and rejection from some existing feminist institutions are only natural, especially since they have been betrayed so many times by self-identified 'pro-feminist' men; it is through our persistence and commitment to action that transfeminism will transform the scope of feminism into a more inclusive vision of the world.”
