"I always wanted genderqueer to unite me with other transgressive queers. Note that I said to unite, not to find people who identify exactly like me. People don’t get me, and that is okay. I am not holding my breath for a place where I do not have to explain myself. I am just working on creating a space where the explanation is welcome. That’s what I want genderqueer to be about. I want genderqueer to be not only an umbrella term for those who reject M or F, but also an umbrella term for all those who queer their gender. And remember that thing I mentioned about caring for each other and sharing a commitment to gender liberation and social justice? Maybe these qualities are lacking and that’s where the movement has become a scene. Exclusivity and attitude are qualities of a scene, not a revolutionary subculture. Genderqueer was my movement, but it’s definitely not my scene."
