Defining Identity Beyond Traditional Gender Labels
Quotes:
I'm not a woman and I don't want to be one. I'm not even a man, as specifically others are. We should find a terminology that suits us. Not even transsexual or hermaphrodite. We are little meteors falling to Earth. It's not that I want to be a rare beast or that I want to be an idol. We're flashes, beautiful. That the world exploits. There are those who castrate themselves, those who want to become women, to achieve a rational goal because society wants subdivisions. I think I'm one of the few who has remained who she is and who wants to live for who she is. Because I want to piss with my penis, not with an artificial vagina. (Lola) ]

Understanding Identity and Misconceptions in Sexuality
Quotes:
We are, for example, transsexuals. That is, we are born... women. From every point of view, mentally... all. And we would like to be women. In my sexual relations I would never feel that I am active, that I am playing an active part. It's something that disgusts me, that I don't accept. The man who comes with me must consider and treat me as a woman. You understand? This is the real transsexual. And then there's the transvestite.... That at the beginning we were too, albeit with a different mentality. Anyway we did the transvestites... Those who want to remain transvestite, who are almost proud of their sex, that is the real transvestite. He is the homosexual who is more feminine than masculine. Then there's ]. The homosexual does not want to be a woman at all. He just likes to be like that. And let them accept it that way, as it should be. Then there is - a bit of a scabrous word, but it must be said - there is the pederast. The pederast who is a lover of children. And that's one thing that's not pretty. Which is not pretty. So what. You see, among all these things people treat us with a definitive word: the pederast, or the homosexual or vulgarly, as they say, the ass... They put us all in the same bag. (Glory)
