“[It's] two sides of the same coin. Realizing that one needs the other… and I just want [people] to know that its never really an either-or situation, its more about finding a balance that works for them, because its really just up to the individual. Masculinity and femininity are just apart of the human experience. So I had to embrace both.”

“Its very hard for me to differentiate between the two. I feel like defining it as either-or is very limiting. It stops people from having the courage to wear themselves fully and live against what society expects. Let people be people and act however they feel they need to act to achieve whatever they need to achieve for themselves... I don’t think it's for anyone to understand, not even myself. There are people in the world that are going to be different from you and I think the starting point is just accepting that difference does not mean alienation... difference is in the same way, kind of [like] saneness; because we’re all in these varying narratives and stories but we all arrive at the same emotions, and we don’t have to understand it. It just is what it is. ”

“I don’t think it has anything to do with male [or] female. There’s not a definite way to describe either. It’s definitely an energy, [and] I think it’s all about owning how you dare to step into your power, day to day.”

“To me, those are just ways to compartmentalize characteristics. [Masculinity and femininity is] the balance needed in all things. Both are needed to work cohesively together. But they are just labels. I don’t try to reduce it to just a word.”

“I know when I was younger, I might have been a bit more feminine. You know how when you’re growing up, everything is pink…i ts feminine, its for girls. That was kind of shoved on me when I was little, but as I grew up, I evolved. [Masculine and feminine is] not black and white. I don’t think I’m either or, I definitely have my moments where I’m just like a mix of both.”
