Alice Dreger Zitate

Ironically, when I've asked my straight friends to join me in hanging a rainbow flag, they answer, 'But someone might think we're gay,' not realizing that is exactly the point. To be mistaken for the oppressed is to momentarily become the oppressed.

Ironischerweise, wenn ich meine direkten Freunde gebeten habe, mit mir eine Regenbogenfahne zu hängen, antworten sie: "Aber vielleicht denken wir, wir wären schwul", ohne zu wissen, dass dies genau der Punkt ist. Mit den Unterdrückten verwechselt zu werden, heißt, vorübergehend Unterdrückte zu werden.

I realized I had it made because you don't have to destroy anything to get honey. You can just use the same things over and over again, put it in a quart canning jar, and you've got $12.

To me, in life, if there's, like, a rule, and I think it's ridiculous, then of course I'll circumvent that but also point out how ridiculous the rule is. Other than that, if I go to a concert, and my seat is Row G, Seat 12, I'm sitting in Row G, Seat 12. I don't care if I'm with five other friends, I'm supposed to be in Seat 12, that's my seat.
