My definition of gender expands beyond just two genders.

Transgender doesn't need to imply loud.

There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender... identity is performatively constituted by the very 'expressions' that are said to be its results.

In pursuing the cherished goal of gender justice, to mention one example, the Supreme Court of India has always been proactive and progressive.

I don't think we should be discriminating against anyone. Transgender people are people and deserve the best we can do for them.

There are many things that matter much more than an editor's gender in shaping the direction of the leadership.

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.

Race and gender quotas, whether in publishing, the media, or scientific research labs, are becoming more extreme and more ineluctable.

I don't even think Trump knows what transgender means. He probably thinks transgender people are those cars that turn into robots.

It's in everyone's best interest to help close the gender gap in the sciences.

Thirty years ago, in 1976, the notion of organized activity to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity was an extremely controversial one.

I think that issues of gender have been discussed widely at Harvard. But I think I was chosen clearly on the merits, and I wish to operate as president on the merits. I think, on one level, we might say that I can affirm that women have the aptitude to do science or to do anything, including being president of Harvard.

I admire actors such as Laura Linney, Cate Blanchett and Andrea Riseborough, who take risks and fight to not be defined by their gender.

If there is a woman filmmaker or a woman artist, the issue of gender is floating very close to their work... It almost naturally comes into their work. If one looks at all the male artists, the issue is never there.

I feel like a feminist is gender equality.

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.

Gender and race got very entwined in the 19th century, as abolition broke out, and then women wanted the right to speak about it.

We're able to choose our candidate not based on gender or sex or anything else other than their ideas.
