"I think love is the most revolutionary political force that exists. It makes me deeply sad that people think of compassion as having no teeth, as a form of weakness. [...] I wrote my first book of poetry called Femme In Public to the men who were harassing me on the street. I expected myself to be so angry, but what I actually found was tenderness. Because I recognized myself in them. What I saw in them was: ''What do you mean we don't have to follow all the rules? I thought the only way we could be loved was by playing pretend. How dare you break that contract of pretend?'" ~ Alok Vaid-Menon https://www.instagram.com/p/DX43nUwhpNF/
