What we really need to look at is gender fluidity and the idea that gender can be customised however you want.

I feel like so much of mainstream feminism springs from the second wave, which was essentially a discourse spearheaded by white, cisgender, upper middle class women. I feel - especially as I'm trying to negotiate this new female space with the feminism that's available to me - there are a lot of places where I'm disenfranchised.

Sexuality is who you want to be with. Gender identity is who you want to be in the world.

If you don't know somebody, whether you're inquiring into their sex or their gender, it's invasive.

My mother had been educated at a convent, and she had been converted to communism by my father during Stalin's most rampant period, at the beginning of the 1930s. So she had two gods, God in heaven and god on earth.

I wanted to create a place where parents can come and find products that are safe for their children, as well as good for the planet.

Nobody in our family's ever recalled seeing my mom and dad speak a harsh word to one another.

I have some lovely friends and an amazing family, and I feel very lucky with that.
