QUOTES FROM BOBBI
“Recognising gender dysphoria and doing something about it takes profound courage. If you want to witness true bravery, look at any trans person’s journey toward authenticity, fighting for a sense of belonging in their own body in a society in which there are people who reject their right to exist.”
“This isn’t ideology. It’s life. It’s humanity. It’s the beautiful, diverse tapestry of being a human.”
“If someone has a problem with me, that’s their problem. I won’t apologise for being who I am. I refuse to be shamed because someone else’s worldview can’t accommodate the complexity of what being human means.”
“But if someone’s worldview shames my trans sisters & brothers - who already face sky-high levels of anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and suicide, then we have a problem. Because that kind of exclusion isn’t just wrong, it’s cruel.”
