Chapter Eight - Feminism is for Everybody

A white Transfeminist Symbol is against a black background. The symbol is the woman symbol with a power fist in the middle and an arrow emerging on the left and right sides of the circle.
The Transfeminist Symbol

“Feminists are made, not born. One does not become an advocate of feminist politics simply by having the privilege of having been born female. Like all political positions one becomes a believer in fem politics through choice and action.”
