• A lot of people characterize women as more cautious. I don't think that's an inappropriate characterization, but that's not a natural thing we're born with, it's something that comes about.

• Pregnancy takes a huge physical toll on your body. I have many friends who have had babies and many of them require medical help and attention, emergency Cesarean sections and forceps. If you think that people just have a kid and it's no big deal, that's not true. It's one of the most dangerous things for a woman to do. If you take away access to accessible medical women in America, you're going to bump up the death rate.

• I started thinking about gender and how it's an arbitrary thing if you're born with an XX or XY chromosome, but it can determine your experience of the world. It's about whether you are physically intimidating vs. being physically intimidated. It determines whether you are the one to take an active role in sex and society.

• I would say that it's very difficult to personally construct your gender. I think a lot of it is socially constructed. If you look at The New York Times' coverage of trans children, some of them were as young as four years old. One said, "I see my daddy in the woodshed, and that's where I'd rather be than in the kitchen." That to me doesn't ring as somebody who is trans, it rings as someone who has grown up with a narrow view.

• Aunque crecí en una zona de Inglaterra que era más conservadora que mi política personal y la de mi familia, crecí con muchos amigos varones. No había diferencias reales entre nosotros. Cuando me mudé a Londres, se hizo realmente evidente que el género iba a dejar huella. Empecé a sufrir intimidaciones y agresiones sexuales. La gente se acercaba a las mujeres por la calle y les decía lo buenas que estaban y lo que querían hacerles. Para mí, eso fue chocante viniendo de un pueblo. Pensé que la intersexualidad era una forma estupenda de explorar ese choque.

• Con lo que naces dicta tu vida. ¿Corres a casa por la noche? ¿Eliges un apartamento en un barrio dudoso? Salí con un tipo hace unos años en California, que era, como decimos en Inglaterra, "construido como un cagadero de ladrillos". Era un tipo encantador, pero pensé, sus brazos son tan grandes como mi cabeza, podría matarme. No creo que los hombres puedan predecir el tipo de cosas que las mujeres piensan cuando están contemplando tener una relación.

• I have a guy friend who said to me, "Hey, you know it's strange, feminism is cool now." I think now people understand that being a feminist means everyone should be equal. What really shocked me was being in America during the Republican primaries. I haven't been exposed to that kind of thinking. I was so shocked that that kind of thinking exists in a modern world, and in a first-world country.
