I have lectured at the U.N. and travelled widely, giving lectures on human rights and gender inequalities in universities. But this is a life I do not wish to live. I don’t want to be a showcase, I want to be in a battlefield where I can stand beside the oppressed and the poor.
23
24
What I learned through my research is that the word ‘actor,’ specifically in reference to those who performed in plays, came about in the late 1500s as a non-gendered word. It applied to all people, regardless of anatomical sex or gender identity.

44
45

Too often, when transgender people die, family members or funeral homes will end up dressing a body of a transgender person in the garments of the gender that they were assigned at birth instead of their gender identity. They’re often dead-named and misgendered.
47
Gender is something that occurs in the mind, and sex is something that occurs, you know, everywhere else on the body. And whether or not those two things happen to align – well, if they do, great. If they don’t, also great.

51
I think it’s time we all agree that gender stereotypes are simply the confabulation of our own mind.

53
54
55
My experience with ‘Transparent‘ has completely spoiled me because it was the safest, most transpositive set ever. I didn’t have to worry about all the usual things – like when people have a vision of your transness that you’re not comfortable with. When they don’t know the correct gender pronouns by which to refer to you.
56

66
67
The ‘Crossfire’ demographic is all-encompassing. Age, gender, religion, culture… it doesn’t matter.
68
I am still bowled over by this great young adult novel by David Levithan called ‘Every Day,’ which is about a character with no gender or body who wakes up every day in the body of a different person. It’s a really impressive execution of a really great premise.
69
I believe in assigned sex but not necessarily gender. Gender is a learned construct that is detrimental to both sexes.
70
The way I approach the character isn’t about being gay or straight. It’s just about who you love. Gender has very little to do with it.
71
In the entertainment industry women are often judged. They judge bigger women, they judge black women, and older women too. We just don’t do that in drag. Drag is open to everyone, regardless of gender, body shape or age.
72
73
74
The gender thing doesn’t exist; it’s a social construct you don’t have to fit into.
75
First there’s my role just as an executive being responsible for advertising, regardless of gender. I think that’s a position that I take seriously. That’s the first role.

76
77
78
In 1984, Geraldine Ferraro made history by participating in the first male-on-female vice presidential debate against George H. W. Bush. What should have been a groundbreaking moment for gender equality in politics became a forum for old gender expectations.

Sex and gender are such befuddling mysteries even for those of us who are in the mainstream that you’d think we’d be wary of being judgmental. Yet much of society clings to a view that gender is completely binary, when, in fact, there’s overwhelming evidence of a continuum.
89
Soccer, more often than not, helps to unite the world. What this Muslim ban is doing is dividing it: separating ‘Us’ and ‘Them’ to another degree, adding more division to a country that already struggles with race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender.
90
91
I didn’t want to be discriminated against because of my gender and status. I promised myself I was never going to be treated as a second-class citizen.
92
I am a black American, I say, and thus announce my atavistic connection to all others who live as black Americans, to all who ever lived as black Americans. Religion, caste, class, gender and race can all be atavisms, and they are inherently anti-democratic because they exclude all outside the atavism.
93
94
95
96
97

99
100

104
105
106

109
110

112
113

There are a lot of kids in school that are female and I wonder, ‘Where did they all go?’ People have brought it up, asking me, ‘What did you do?’ I don’t really know. I puttered along, did my thing and gender has really never been an issue.
119
120
I think gender parity is a crucial part of any healthy society. It’s applicable to the entire world.
121
122

133

134
135

136

139
Gender inequality is a global issue that affects everyone.
140
My personal style really started in my teens when I gained purchasing power to actually buy my own damn clothes. For so long, my parents dictated what I wore, which largely was their way of containing me within the gender binary.
141

142
I’m not naive to the fact that my gender has at times helped me. Employers are now thinking, ‘Let’s get perspectives that are different than the ones we have.’
143
My message is: beauty has no gender. At the end of the day beauty is beauty.
144
My father was a rare poet. He was somebody who worked in the trenches. When he wanted to speak about social justice or gender empowerment, he spoke through his poetry.

149
I’m not one that believes that affirmative action should be based on one’s skin color or one’s gender, I think it should be done based on one’s need, because I think if you are from a poor white community, I think that poor white kid needs a scholarship just as badly as a poor black kid.
150
I’m the result of upbringing, class, race, gender, social prejudices, and economics. So I’m a victim again. A result.

161
I can love people of every gender identity and expression. It is the soul that captivates me.

164
165
166
167
168
The more women sit down and write something in a woman’s voice for a woman, they more you’ll see women in comedy because gender doesn’t define sense of humor. Imagination and intelligence and perspective do.

170
We’re a comedy site and have made fun of every single race, religion, creed and gender. We’ve made fun of it equally.
171
I think we all, as drivers, come to the table with a package. It’s either your speed and raw talent, your sponsorship money, your nationality. For me, one of my unique selling points is my gender, without a doubt.
172
It gets frustrating when my male counterparts are questioned about their game or performance, whereas I am fielding questions on gender stereotypes and my ability to stay committed to the game on account of my gender.
173
‘Drag Race’ doesn’t claim to represent drag as a whole. ‘Drag Race’ is a reality show. If you see real drag shows, we just do drag and respect each other’s art and who your real identity is – name, gender, hair color, anything.
174
How can our industry better represent the reality of our larger community and provide our next generation a proper example of what they see around them every single day?

175
176
177
178

189
190

191
I don’t think gender is aesthetically defining for me.
192
193
194
195
196
197

203

213
214

223
224

225
A man who reads effeminate may well be consistently heterosexual, and another one might be gay. We can’t read sexuality off of gender.

227
I’ve always been interested in how things change, in social change. I was involved in the animal rights movement as a young woman, I’ve been involved in thinking about gender and issues around racism and so on.
228
229
To me, it feels like every time I’m watching some trans story, it’s about their grief around their gender. And there’s not really a lot of opportunity for them to explore stories outside of that. It’s just really frustrating. It’s really one dimensional.
230
They are allowing young kids in primary school to be able to have the permission to change their gender if they want by taking away the permission of the parents. They are trying to take control, as a government, to make those decisions for young kids who are basically 16 years old, or young.
231
When there is a certain subject matter where I want to get involved, where I think I could add to the conversation, and especially with gender issues, I appreciate having that voice and that seat at the table.
232
My experiences with gender bias are probably the norm. What I found was that expectations of women were simply lower, and this resulted in being overlooked for certain opportunities.
233
I don’t think it’s at all weakening of the system if people with the same last name put themselves forward to the electorate, when their experiences, their character, and in my case, gender, may be different.
234
There’s a gender gap throughout television and it’s very pronounced in morning TV since these shows are mostly meant for women.

As you become more successful, the gender barrier disappears. The credibility challenges you have during your growing up years starts disappearing when you start demonstrating success.
236

241
When members of a certain party concoct various devious schemes to suppress votes, purposely misinform potential voters, spread vile untrue filth about certain candidates, play the race, gender and religious cards, and literally tamper with vote tallies, then we are not a truly representative government!
242
243
It’s 2014, and women are still paid less than men. Does this suggest that a gender pay gap is an unfortunately permanent fixture? Will it still be with us in 50 years? I would predict yes. But by that point, it will be men who will be earning less than women.
244
245
We work together as a team. And between us and between the crew and our teams on the ground, we don’t look at gender, and we don’t see it as a barrier.
246
247
We need to start identifying the triggers that aggravate mental health issues in our society – bullying, social media negativity and anxiety, gender based violence, substance abuse, stigma around issues such as maternal issues, etc., and we need to speak up about these more and get to the source of the problems.
248
The proportion of women attracted to the Islamic State is likely to be less than that in other militant organisations, such as the Tamil Tigers, the PKK, and the IRA.

249
Gender discrimination is not the only form of discrimination one has to deal with.
250

Disability informs almost every part of my life. It’s as important, if not more so, than my gender and sexuality. It’s certainly a great deal more important to me than my religion or whether or not I caught a tram, ferry or bus to work.
259
260
261
I prefer to put myself in an environment that’s further afield and look through the eyes of someone who differs from me in age, ethnicity, gender, and/or social class. I think a little displacement makes me a sharper observer.
262
We need to stop judging individuals based on their race, profession, gender, religion, or anything other than their own individual behavior and character.
263
264
265
266
It would be easier for people to grasp that gender, sex, and sexual orientation are different things if we had as much imagination in real life as we do when we are making our movies.
267
In the first couple of years when you’re transitioning you don’t really fit into any gender, because you’re changing over. You have to start getting electrolysis before you even start your therapy. But I think all the weird looks help to give you conviction in who you really are.
268
269
My pledge to you is that the SNP will put women and gender equality right at the heart of the Westminster agenda.

275
Gender equality has a transformative effect that is essential to fully functioning communities, societies, and economies.
276
277

281
282
Gender is irrelevant, and if you love somebody, you love somebody.
283
If we are going to have to worry all the time that we might offend some students‘ sensibilities, we are not going to be able to teach in a way that actually matters. We’re not going to be able to teach about sex, gender, race, religion, or violence.
284
Fortunately, unlike my teachers and classmates, my parents never forced gender roles or even a ended identity on me. I grew up on a farm, so all that mattered was working hard.

286
I was a me-ist. I believed in the right to do whatever I wanted to do regardless of gender. Still do.
287

288
Gender is more of a continuum than we are willing to admit when we hit the restroom.
289
I think we’re struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.
290
291
The more I’ve been able to learn about gay rights and equal pay and gender equity and racial inequality, the more that it all intersects. You can’t really pick it apart. It’s all intertwined.
292
I have always been interested in gender politics, so I’m not that keen on doing things that don’t represent a truth about women.
293
I grew up in a cloistered, conservative culture that adhered to strict gender roles. So it’s easy to understand why the ‘girl dressed as a boy’ trope resonated so much. In a world that didn’t want to give people like me adventures or significance, books with cross-dressing girls were treasures.
294
I hope to be viewed and judged first and foremost by my accomplishments and capabilities as a leader – regardless of my gender.
295
Studies have been done showing that there really are gender differences, that women do bring more congeniality and compromise to the table.
296
297
298
There’s this ridiculous idea that I’m a gender traitor because I’m not a feminist. I’m supposed to be part of a sisterhood: you’re automatically supposed to support all women just because you have the same genitals as them, which doesn’t make sense.
299
300
That one can love another of the same gender, that is what the homophobe really cannot stand.
301
There can be moments in your life where you may feel attracted to someone depending on circumstance, depending on the person of one gender or another, and sometimes where that is less of an influence in your life.
302
303
Sexuality is who you want to be with. Gender identity is who you want to be in the world.
304
Equal protection under the law – for race, religion, gender or sexual orientation – should not be subject to the most popular sentiments of the day.
305
When a human being becomes so still that they begin to lose awareness of their gender, and they are simply looking into that abyss where there is no notion of self whatsoever, the world disappears. And that’s really the only place to go. It’s the only place to remain.
306
307
Every woman who proves that it is not about gender but about excellence paves the way.
308
309
310
311
312
313
I wish everything was gender neutral. I wish we weren’t separated by boundaries like pink and blue and little things like that. I wish we could choose how we express ourselves without hate.
314
I don’t like narrowing my readers down – there’s not a particular age or gender or nationality. I suppose I’m aiming at the child I was.
315
I believe gender is a spectrum, and I fall somewhere between Channing Tatum and Winnie the Pooh.
316
We do need more deaf people in Hollywood. But I don’t think that deaf people always have to play a deaf role. I think we can play different roles. We need to see more diversity period. More people of color. More disabled people. More gender diversity. All kinds of diversity.
317
If supporters of equality for women want to vote for the best candidate, they must look to a person regardless of gender and must disregard the gender of political opponents.
318
I think that often my work is obscured by my gender identity.
319
320
I do believe that it’s something that we don’t talk about, but when there are clearly defined gender roles, it is much simpler. Because you don’t have to think, which people apparently don’t like to do.
321
Gender is not central to coding.
322
As I started to explore my gender identity, I didn’t know how I could claim the title of ‘feminist’ without subscribing to the gender binary. I thought I had to be a proud woman to be a feminist. Then I came to the realization that I can be proud of women without necessarily identifying as one.
323
324
325
326
327
I definitely try not to get too caught up in putting too much of a gender or age assessment on everything – I’ve just got to get on with it.
328
Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.
329
Research conducted throughout the world shows gender balance in top positions contributes to improved competitiveness and better business performance.
330
I think anybody has – regardless of your gender, we all have equal value. If you have value to bring and value to provide, you just have to be willing to use your voice.
331
Children’s picture books are a unique record of social evolution: in gender roles and racial politics, as is much discussed, but also in fashion and interior design.
332
333
I think our society has sort of built this gender binary, and the way we’ve said it exists does not really exist in nature.
334
As Canadians who proudly demand the equal treatment of minorities, religious freedom, gender equality and basic human rights for its citizens – allowing our political leaders to shamefully ignore these values in the name of business abroad, falls short of the high standard we rightfully set for ourselves.
335
336
Ailes built a Kingdom of Yes. That was his genius. He understood the id of many white conservatives – their sense of constant persecution and victimization; and their existential fears of an America whose racial makeup, sexual mores and gender roles were careening in the opposite direction of the country of their childhood.
337
A good song always has to do with the person representing it – how they’re feeling in that moment – but I think my songs don’t need to be exclusive in terms of gender or race or that kind of thing.
338
339
Let’s stand together, stick together, and work together for justice of every description. Racial justice. Gender justice. Immigrant justice. Economic justice. Environmental justice.
340
On May 6, 2013, I started hormone replacement therapy and began transitioning. I was very depressed, which is not uncommon for people with gender dysphoria. Two hours after my first estrogen injection, my depression went away for the first time in my life.
341
College was a wonderful time to really explore my interests. I ended up writing my senior thesis about gender inequality in the developing world.
342
People who don’t have gender dysphoria aren’t going to catch it by watching me dance on television.
343
‘Drag Race’ has become a staple of modern television for the way it skewers expectations and attitudes about gender, much as a show like ‘black-ish’ works to challenge stereotypes about black families in America.
344
Our equality bill is specifically designed to protect religion and belief on exactly the same terms as race or gender or sexuality.
345
As a socially conscious person, I have my views on matters like gender inequality and progressive movements. But being a mother, children’s issues have affected me a lot.
346
Don’t think of your gender as a handicap.
347
348
349
My major obligation or responsibility is to work to integrate gender issues throughout the work of the State Department.
350
351
Nothing changes the gender equation more significantly than women’s economic freedom.
352
353
In New Zealand, men and women would not take a party seriously if it did not have a good gender – and increasingly racial – mix. It’s not about being politically correct; it’s just who we are.
354
In the areas where FGM is going down, it has been addressed in a violence against women framework. It’s a gender power control issue, and it is not something you can just educate people out of. It requires people to think that if they do it, there are ramifications. We cannot just rely on people’s good will.
355
Objecting to someone because of his religious beliefs is not the same thing as prejudice based on religious heritage, race, or gender.
356
I wasn’t prepared for the environment I encountered trying to break into television news. In the world of music, where I spent my formative years, we were judged solely on our talent, and gender wasn’t a factor.
357
We need to rebuild our nation with a new foundation. A foundation rooted in love, and care, and equality. Where justice is truly real for all of us, regardless of race, class, gender, orientation, or religion. I fully believe we can.
358
359
Decision by decision, Justice Ginsburg reaffirmed the ideals of our Constitution and our shared values of fairness, equality, and opportunity. Her judicial opinions on voting rights, gender discrimination, and same-sex marriage made this country stronger and will continue to ring out through the ages.
360
The first thing that’s really important to understand, just when approaching the topic of transgender people, is that the sex you’re assigned with at birth is not the same as your gender identity.
361
I mean, casting gender non-conforming people in campaigns and editorials and on covers of magazines is a risk for any business because there’s going to be controversy, but I think they need to take the risk and believe they’re moving in the right direction.
362
If you always have consciousness of gender equality at the heart of your policies, then you will have much more democratic, much more sustainable development.
363
Women and girls, men and boys all share the right to live free of violence, which is, unfortunately, experienced by both men and women. Women and girls, however, disproportionately experience violence due to a deeply rooted global culture of gender discrimination.
364
Every year I teach dozens of students at the University of Birmingham. Most of the students on the gender and sexuality courses are women. I guess this is because the boys don’t think that gender applies to them: that it’s a subject for girls.
365
I try to appeal to all Kentucky voters, regardless of gender, about the future of state.
366
367
368
Your gender should not matter in your heart or in the way you express your personality.
369
370
Gender is a spectrum, and that’s something that a lot of folks don’t understand.
371
372
It depends on the generation and gender. The males usually go for ‘Police Academy,’ and the young women now in their late 20s or so go for ‘Punky Brewster.’ I am recognized quite frequently because they’re still playing that stuff on television!
373
Almost everything about American society is affected by World War II: our feelings about race; our feelings about gender and the empowerment of women, moving women into the workplace; our feelings about our role in the world. All of that comes in a very direct way out of World War II.
374
I’ve always been Sarah. My gender identity has always existed. I’ve always been a woman. Gay people aren’t straight before they come out as gay, and transgender people are who they are before they come out and transition.
375
As Canadians who proudly demand the equal treatment of minorities, religious freedom, gender equality and basic human rights for its citizens – allowing our political leaders to shamefully ignore these values in the name of business abroad, falls short of the high standard we rightfully set for ourselves.
376
In politics, during my organisational roles, I have never seen gender bias within my organisation.
377
We must focus on people as people, regardless of race, creed, color or gender.
378
379
380
I don’t hold myself out as a role model. I don’t believe that everyone should make the same choices; that everyone has to want to be a CEO, or everyone should want to be a work-at-home mother. I want everyone to be able to choose. But I want us to be able to choose unencumbered by gender choosing for us.
381
382
383
A lot of kids are bullied because of their sexual identity or expression. It’s often the effeminate boys and the masculine girls, the ones who violate gender norms and expectations, who get bullied.
384
I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that only gender non-conforming, non-binary, or trans people have a gender identity. But the truth is, everyone has a gender identity.
385
Talent has no gender. People are hiring young male directors right out of film school, off of a student film or off of a film at Sundance for millions of dollars. You can do the same with a female. It’s not a risk about the work if you respect the film that they made.
386
The speed with which modern society has adapted to accommodate the world’s vast spectrum of gender and sexual identities may be the most important cultural metamorphosis of our time.
387
My parents didn’t allow me to do all the things the cool kids could do. I was quiet, reserved, and at some points, taken complete advantage of simply because of my sex and gender. For a while, in high school, I was so deep into self-hate.
388
It’s very strange how electronic music formatted itself and forgot that its roots are about the surprise, freedom, and the acceptance of every race, gender, and style of music into this big party. Instead, it started to become this electronic lifestyle which also involved the glorification of technology.
389
Never before has a major professional sports team partnered in this way with a female-driven brand like Bumble. It’s an honor to partner with an organization as progressive and compassionate as the Clippers. Like us, they know generating awareness for diversity and gender equality is critical to business success.
390
391
There’s something about doing Shakespeare with a single gender, whether it is all-male or all-female, that opens up certain possibilities. You are able to throw the behavior of the men into a particular relief and be playful within a slightly larger-than-life way with it.
392
And think of how we challenged the idea of a male dominated Parliament with All-Women shortlists and made the cause of gender equality central to our government. We were right to do so.
393
394
395
The more I’ve been able to learn about gay rights and equal pay and gender equity and racial inequality, the more that it all intersects. You can’t really pick it apart. It’s all intertwined.
396
BJP is ready to go to any extent to protest for the rights of Ayyappa devotees. Beliefs should be respected. Man-woman equality is must, but gender equality cannot be established by giving entry to men and women together. There are several temples that deny men entry.
397
398
The divisiveness that threatens the fabric of our nation – whether due to race, religion, political ideology, gender, sexual orientation, or other – must end.
399
400
There’s an opportunity to make your board – and your company – smarter by adding diversity, especially of gender.
401
Put simply, barring transgender people from restrooms consistent with their gender identity doesn’t help anyone, and continuing to allow transgender people to access those restrooms doesn’t hurt anyone.
402
Every conversation we have as a band is about gender in some way, and it’s been like that from the beginning.
403
404
What is being called the UN ‘gender architecture‘ is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.
405
If we accept ourselves as animals, and have empathy and tolerance, compassion to others, understand that humans are territorial, aggressive and have gender aspects, then we can change things.
406
I’m lucky enough to live in London, which is a boiling pot of every kind of language and background and demographic and sexuality and gender, and yet most of what we’re seeing in the cinema is not reflective of that.
407
I never let my gender define me but in my whole driving career I only ever did one interview not being asked about being a female.
408
I don’t think gender even exists.
409
In the face of sluggish growth, aging societies, and increasing educational attainment of young women, the economic case for gender equality is clear.
410
As a writer and as a reader, I really believe in the power of narrative to allow us ways to experience life beyond our own, ways to reflect on things that have happened to us and a chance to engage with the world in ways that transcend time and gender and all sorts of things.
411
412
413
When the Nobel award came my way, it also gave me an opportunity to do something immediate and practical about my old obsessions, including literacy, basic health care and gender equity, aimed specifically at India and Bangladesh.
414
415
If there’s specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can’t change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.
416
So much of the destruction on Earth has been wrought by men. Women are the ones who give life and try to pick up the pieces… What a great gender they are.
417
Gender perception can be a pernicious thing: Where a lack of warmth passes in a male, in a woman, it’s deadly.
418
Sporting events like the Olympics have developed and maintained a clear message of promoting gender equality as an essential criterion in the success of any international event.
419
By isolating the issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, climate change, environment, governance, economics, catastrophe and whatever other problems the present embodies or the future may bring, science fiction can do what Dickens and Sinclair did: make real the consequences of social injustice or human folly.
420
Gender equality is not only an issue for women and girls.
421
Our daughters were coming of age during a rising consciousness about gender equality. Throughout their school years – from kindergarten through graduate school, 1972 to 1992 – women were starting to take their places in areas traditionally reserved mostly for men.
422
We must make sure #MeToo breaks the race, class, gender, and faith lines that make it so hard for marginalized people to be heard.
423
The days of a tennis champion as a gender rights leader are over.
424
425
When I got to be a CEO, I said: ‘Right. I’m now going to tackle gender inequality head-on. I’m going to make a difference and lead by example and actively put in place policies and practices to support women.’
426
When it comes to swag, there’s no gender involved.
427
It’s not a gender thing. You can pick anyone off the street and it depends on his or her own character how they can drive a car.
428
429
I saw my gender – and myself – as something of a construct. Like anyone who read one too many women studies’ books in the 1990s, I aspired to both ‘do’ and undo my sex.
430
In my early 20s, I set out to kind of find myself. At that time, if you were different or if you ever questioned your gender identity or sexual orientation, society kind of put you in the gay club.
431
I guess professionally I’ve left my gender open to artistic interpretation.
432
To demand that people find their assigned narrow corridors of culture or ethnicity or gender, expecting people to forevermore stay in that lane, is to limit our human potential. It’s oppressive.
433
I like diversity. I’d like there to be all levels of gay and straight, all different variations of gender, all colors, all creeds. I’m into seeing that.
434
435
436
The men I worked for didn’t look at me as having any gender at all. They regarded me more as a workhorse.
437
I knew at a very early age, about 6 years old, that there was something different about me. But being young and not being exposed to people who had gender dysphoria, or role models that you see on TV today, I didn’t know what it was.
438
This idea that we should be best friends with our partner of the opposite gender leads toward tremendous frustration. Did you ever notice that while men often refer to their wives as best friends, women usually refer to another woman in that way?
439
American Idol transcends age, gender, ethnicity, everything.
440
441
442
I still believe a little bit that changing gender roles have hurt relationships.
443
But let me tell you, this gender thing is history. You’re looking at a guy who sat down with Margaret Thatcher across the table and talked about serious issues.
444
I was assigned female at birth. My gender identify is non-binary.
445
Given that sexual orientation is innate and that we are all, in theological terms, children of God, to deny access to some sacraments based on sexuality is as wrong as denying access to some sacraments based on race or gender.
446
Let’s have a People’s Vote to safeguard gender equality and continue the drive towards a fairer world for us all.
447
We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination.
448
Feminism isn’t about hating men. It’s about challenging the absurd gender distinctions that boys and girls learn from childhood and carry into their adult lives.
449
450
451
I’ll say this, and this has nothing to do with gender or sexuality: You do not want to get licked in the face repeatedly by another human being. You just don’t. It’s not pleasant.
452
I definitely struggle with a disillusionment towards my body and my gender.
453
I’m suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias.
454
455
456
457
I never used gender as my crutch. Many women don’t use gender as a crutch.
458
It’s quite unbelievable that Charlie Crist is getting away with this reinvention of himself – this rewriting of history for blatantly political purposes. Other than his gender, the guy has flip-flopped on everything, and I don’t put that past him either.
459
460
I think our society has sort of built this gender binary, and the way we’ve said it exists does not really exist in nature.
461
462
As the highest-ranking Republican woman in the U.S. House of Representatives and the mom of two daughters, I believe if we’re serious as a nation about empowering every American to pursue his or her own dreams, then true cases of gender discrimination need to be confronted.
463
Our goal as Republicans is to ensure gender discrimination ends once and for all, and to also help guarantee those who want to remain in the workforce and continue their careers aren’t hindered by clunky, outdated regulatory structures that penalize them for making that choice.
464
There are challenging days – but I’d tell people they should really do what they are interested in and not think about their gender.
465
466
Look what I know about directing; is it goes beyond gender. You might see some qualities that are inherently female in the great male directors.
467
I believe in equal pay for equal work. Gender, race, skin colour, or ethnicity should not be the parameters to hire someone or to decide how much they should be paid.
468
Gender is a way to hide from the simple truth we all tell: ‘Hey, I’m here, I have a body.’
469
The further left you are, the more your concern for the underdog crowds out everything else, leading you to overlook inconsistencies. You might, for example, argue for immigration and multiculturalism in the UK, but not in the Amazon. You might demand equality before the law and, at the same time, gender quotas.
470
471
You can’t avoid the conversation of diversity and remembering that diversity goes beyond race and culture. It goes into gender and sexual orientation and all sorts of things.
472
473
Bones tell me the story of a person’s life – how old they were, what their gender was, their ancestral background.
474
The denial of female aggression is a destructive myth. It robs an entire gender of a significant spectrum of power, leaving women less than equal with men and effectively keeping them ‘in their place’ and under control.
475
I say, ‘I’m bi, my love knows no gender,’ and the straight community says, ‘Oh right, that’s just a cover-up – you’re gay!’ And the gay community says, ‘Yeah right, that’s just a cover-up – you’re gay.’ They both want to push me gay.
476
You think intercourse is a private act; it’s not, it’s a social act. Men are sexually predatory in life; and women are sexually manipulative. When two individuals come together and leave their gender outside the bedroom door, then they make love.
477
I find the question of whether gender differences are biologically determined or socially constructed to be deeply disturbing.
478
Every life – regardless of background or gender – has equal value.
479
Let me very proudly say that as a television actor, I never, ever saw any gender bias.
480
Ah, well, do I wish that we lived in a world where gender didn’t figure so prominently? Of course. Do I even think about myself as a woman when I go to make art? Of course not.
481
482
If you’re a man, you’re a man. If you’re a woman, you’re a woman. You use the bathroom of your gender. If you can’t figure it out, I’m not sure I can help you.
483
484
Why are we only talking about gender discrimination. We need to focus on the other kinds of discriminations in practice.
485
Perhaps it is time to debate culture. The common story is that in ‘real’ African culture, before it was tainted by the West, gender roles were rigid and women were contentedly oppressed.
486
I’ve been speaking out about harassment and gender disparity for years.
487
Gender consciousness has become involved in almost every intellectual field: history, literature, science, anthropology. There’s been an extraordinary advance.
488
I see the effects of sexual and gender liberation all around me, just like you do, but I don’t have a sense of being in the majority.
489
490
I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women’s safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality.
491
Most of the female characters I admire come from science fiction and fantasy, maybe because there’s more permission to shake up gender roles in genre.
492
493
Going back as far as I do covering men’s college basketball, the objections to me being an analyst never came from inside the game. The players and coaches have always showed me the utmost respect and quite frankly my gender has never felt like an issue inside the game.
494
I’m not a woman in the ‘Den,’ I’m a Dragon, we’re all there to invest, it has nothing to do with gender.
495
Achieving gender equality requires the engagement of women and men, girls and boys. It is everyone’s responsibility.
496
I do not think that when I write a female character, I intend to reflect my thoughts on gender equality, but I always make sure that my female character is not decorative, they are human, they are good, bad, complex and close to reality.
497
The gender disparity in STEM is depriving our country of talented minds that could be inventing the next breakthrough technology, founding the next big startup or keeping our nation safe from cyberattacks.
498
You know, in Russia we say there are three things you can’t choose: your parents, your gender and your president.
499
We live in a world where there are a hell of a lot of new inputs that need to be factored in to your business. It used to be just about your employees and your customers. Now there are all the issues about global warming, about sustainability, about ethics and now about gender and the distribution of wealth.
500
True equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity – or political ideology.
501
I actually believe we are the superior gender. Why are we superior? Statistically, we outlive men by a good 10 years. No one should underestimate the power of nagging – it’s on par with nuclear weapons.
502
The fact I’m the third female Prime Minister, I never grew up believing my gender would stand in the way of doing anything I wanted.
503
When I was born, there was a very isolated idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman, and you belonged to one gender or the other.
504
505
‘When Katie Met Cassidy’ is a romantic comedy about two very different women who find themselves uncontrollably drawn to one another. Issues of gender and sexuality play their part in the novel, but first and foremost, it’s a fun, fast-paced love story.
506
We cannot base our judgment on binaries such as a person’s gender.
507
What’s great about being gay is that you can celebrate all types of sexualities, because we understand that being queer means you might also be gender nonconforming or bi or whatever.
508
509
I am proud to state that every national Jewish organization we support enforces non-discrimination practices around sexual orientation and that more than 70 percent have written policies in place covering gender identity and expression.
510
511
The business of fiction is the study of the human condition, and gender is something that many humans are obsessed with, thus making it rather difficult to ignore when studying the human condition!
512
I sort of throw away the definitions of gender – that boys are ‘supposed’ to wear blue and girls are ‘supposed’ to wear pink – and those gender roles and gender presentations. I do it on my own terms rather than based on what other people say I should do.
513
I’m saying the excessive focus on what gender a person is, rather than what they do, does a disservice to women.
514
515
In my opinion, it’s all about the song and the performance, not the gender.
516
517
Full social and political engagement is impossible without economic empowerment, a point that is as true for women as it is for young people of either gender.
518
Both European and American historians have done away with any conceptual limits on what in the past needs and deserves investigating. The result, among other things, has been a flood of works on gender history, black history, and ethnic history of all kinds.
519
I think we’re actually the only sport that has a mix of men and women competing together. The majority of other sports are separated by gender.
520
When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when anti-racism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other, and both interests lose.
521
You just wish sometimes that people would treat you like a human being rather than seeing your gender first and who you are second.
522
523
524
525
Separate inherently is not equal. There’s a reason why $45 million was spent against marriage equality. It’s because people understand the word does have meaning. And equality comes when we accept the same notions and the same institutions for everyone, regardless of race and gender and regardless of sex orientation.
526
527
It’s my view that gender is culturally formed, but it’s also a domain of agency or freedom and that it is most important to resist the violence that is imposed by ideal gender norms, especially against those who are gender different, who are nonconforming in their gender presentation.
528
Society as a whole benefits immeasurably from a climate in which all persons, regardless of race or gender, may have the opportunity to earn respect, responsibility, advancement and remuneration based on ability.
529
530
I have a son and a daughter; I try to teach them equally about balance, gender, and gender equity.
531
Civility is the recognition that all people have dignity that’s inherent to their person, no matter their religion, race, gender, sexuality, or ability.
532
A lot of people think that intersectionality is only about identity. But it’s also about how race and gender are structured in particular workforces.
533
I’ve not been discriminated against, but I can see it happen. And not just race but gender and sexuality, too. It’s stereotyping, lazy casting, which is an issue: that people can’t see outside the box.
534
535
We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination.
536
If you are educated in English-medium schools, you get a better view of the world, develop more liberal values, have more gender sensitivity and become more forward looking. But you pay a price because you don’t know your own language.
537
The issue of gender was never my biggest concern; my biggest concern was doing good work. When the feminist movement really got going, I wasn’t an active part of it because I was more concerned with my own mental pursuits.
538
539
A gender capitalist is someone who takes advantage of opportunities given to people based on their perceived sex or gender.
540

542

544
To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects. We act and walk and speak and talk in ways that consolidate an impression of being a man or being a woman.
545
I believe writers need to be chameleons, or like Meryl Streep, who can play all sorts of characters. A good writer should be able to cross gender lines and people of all social classes. So for me, writing from a male point of view would be a great challenge, that I would look forward to taking on.
546
While we teach our daughters about self defense, we should teach the sons about being respectful as well. A society cannot function properly if only one gender is rising. It has to be in tandem. It cannot be unequal. There has to be balance for upliftment.
547
548
Bangkok is one of those places where it’s so rich and full of tradition, but they’re so open to different people – different gender expressions and gender identities. As a gay man, I never once felt uncomfortable there. As a black man, I never once felt uncomfortable.
549
Gender parity in management is a necessity.
550
In a sense, we are all victims of the misogyny and racism that exist in the world, no matter what our gender or race happens to be.
551

552
553
For me, having a gender identity that was different from my sex assigned at birth and that wasn’t seen by society felt like a constant feeling of homesickness – that unwavering ache in the pit of my stomach.
554
I believe that individuals in our country should not face discrimination for their sex or their gender or their sexual orientation.
555
Even in ‘Hollyoaks,’ we were known as ‘the black family‘ as opposed to just ‘the new family.’ But that’s where we are in the world, I guess. It’s getting better; everything’s heading in the right direction, whether it be race, sex, gender.
556
557
Too often, customary practices and discrimination on the basis of gender, ethnicity, race, religion, social status, or class are the root sources of pervasive inequality in many countries.
558
But the issue of sexual harassment is not the end of it. There are other issues – political issues, gender issues – that people need to be educated about.
559
560
Religiosity turns out to be the best indicator of civic involvement: it’s more accurate than education, age, income, gender or race.
561
There are many different rivers that lead into despair: there’s poverty; there’s political repression; there’s gender apartheid – there’s a sense of culture loss; there’s religious fanaticism.
562
Hospitality knows no gender or race.
563
564
The gender question has always obsessed me.
565
I think that there’s so many versions of femininity, and in terms of gender as a binary construct, that seems to be being dismantled.
566
567
568
Just because the gender of the vocalist is the same, that doesn’t actually tell you anything about the sound of the band.
569
Gender rules were made to be broken, especially if you have been told throughout history that you’re ‘less than.’
570
571
It seems inevitable, if unfair, that when a woman is vying for a prominent position in office, her outfit choices will be analyzed to a degree considerably higher than those of her male counterpart by simple existence of gender stereotypes.
572
I want racial and gender equality.
573
574
575
Democrats believe in a New South because no matter your race, immigration status, income, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity, we all have the same aspirations for high-quality education, jobs, neighborhoods, health care, and retirement.
576
577
It is not about gender, it is about experience, leadership, and vision.
578
Coming out as nonbinary was a response to a lot of criticism I got when it leaked that I’d be playing a nonbinary character on ‘Steven Universe.’ I never really had the words like nonbinary or gender fluid or gender nonconforming until after ‘Drag Race’ and that’s when I first started identifying publicly as nonbinary.
579
We cannot solve the STEM gender gap without solving it for millennials. They’re our first digital natives, and they’re willing to learn quickly.
580
People have evolved into something selfish, greedy and intolerant. People are unaccepting, because of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation… I’ve seen it in punk clubs, and I’ve seen it in the world.
581
If gender is on a spectrum, where one finds oneself is completely unique.
582
We don’t live in a primitive society any more. Many of us are lucky enough to be educated. We also realize that gender and sexuality is a spectrum.
583
With the full power of our 360,000 people, we said to the external world, ‘This is what we believe at Accenture is the right thing to do, and gender equality is among the business principles which are fundamental for a company, and we want this to be known outside.’
584
There are probably industries where gender is more of an issue, but our industry is not one where I think that’s relevant.
585
586
I’ve never isolated role models based on gender. I have more male role models due to the mere fact that I’ve done business with more of them and they’re leaders within the verticals I work. Of those, Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com, is an entrepreneur and personal friend that I have a great deal of respect for.
587
I don’t want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn’t necessarily dominate your sexual activity.
588
We called our research ‘Getting to Equal – How Digital is Helping to Close the Gender Gap at Work.’ And at its heart we found that when men and women have the same level of digital fluency, women are better at using their digital skills to gain more education and find work.
589
‘Garage Magazine’ has a strong track record of promoting diversity and racial and gender equality in the worlds of art and fashion and will continue in our mission to stir positive debate on these and other issues.

That’s all true, but there was something else going on for me as a kid, something about my gender identity that I haven‘t figured out yet. And that’s one of the things I’m hoping to dissect and investigate in this memoir project.
595
I suppose it’s easier for most writers to create and vivify characters of their own gender.
596
597
598
Dressing in an androgynous way, mixing up the masculine and feminine, blurring those boundaries – I’m cool with that. No one should ever be limited by stereotypes of gender, just as no one should ever be limited by stereotypes of race.
599
I was raised looking at women who were strong, and they weren’t really into playing race cards or playing gender cards. I didn’t grow up around women who were like, ‘Well, let the boys do that, and let the girls do that.’ I didn’t really see that in my house.

601
When I hear Obama speak he just seems really sincere and he just seems like somebody who actually has his heart and his motivation in the right place. Forget about color or race or gender or whatever, he’s got his heart in the right place.
602
603
I think of my gender as a part of my complex humanity.
604
Race and gender quotas, whether in publishing, the media, or scientific research labs, are becoming more extreme and more ineluctable.
605

608
I’m of the opinion that gender is a social construct.
609

610
In my opinion, love is not about gender, it’s not about religion. Love has no borders and no boundaries.
