I absolutely think it is more acceptable for people who were assigned female at birth to dress in a typically gender non-conforming way. There was a time when people of all genders had long hair and anyone who wanted to wore jewelry - it was more a sign of status than a sign of femininity, per se.

Asia Kate Dillon

Conforming is not cool.

Adam Lambert

I've always found it hard to do what I'm told - I'm not very good at conforming.

Alex Sharp

We understand that, in our communities, black trans folk, gender-nonconforming folk, black queer folk, black women, black disabled folk - we have been leading movements for a long time, but we have been erased from the official narrative.

Alicia Garza

I hate conforming to what people expect me to do.

Amine

I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that only gender non-conforming, non-binary, or trans people have a gender identity. But the truth is, everyone has a gender identity.

Asia Kate Dillon

There is still so much acceptance, representation and visibility needed for trans women of color and gender non-conforming people of color.

Asia Kate Dillon

Nonbinary, gender-nonconforming, and trans people have always been around, just as long as any other type of person.

Asia Kate Dillon

I was gender-nonconforming in high school in terms of the way I dressed, in terms of the way I cut my hair.

Asia Kate Dillon

I have a fear of labels. If someone labels me, I have to respond - do I acknowledge it, reject it, deny it, live up to it, and defy it? Labels can affect your ability to be yourself. If you're not careful, like I wasn't when I was young, that can take a toll on you. You find yourself conforming to everyone else's ideas of who you are.

B. D. Wong

I've worked a lot with kids who identify as LGBTQ or gender nonconforming, and they are unquestionably some of the bravest people I've ever met.

Becky Albertalli

China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law.

Benigno Aquino III

Some people look gender non-conforming because they want to look that way - they don't want to conform to society's expectations.

Caitlyn Jenner

Thank the Lord for using each person as a tool in your life to deepen your insight into His grace and conforming you to the image of His Son.

Charles Stanley

I am a person who believes in asking questions, in not conforming for the sake of conforming. I am deeply dissatisfied - about so many things, about injustice, about the way the world works - and in some ways, my dissatisfaction drives my storytelling.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I dyed my hair about 42 different colours, and kids can be pretty judgmental about people who are different. But instead of breaking down and conforming, I stood firm. That is also probably why I was unhappy.

Christina Hendricks

School is very conformist, and one of the very first conforming that goes on in preschool and kindergarten is gender.

Dan Savage

The main criticism that I get is, 'Aren't you just conforming to a patriarchal standard of beauty?' Well, this is just the body I was given. I didn't do anything to it - it's just my body. But even if I had altered it, that would be fine, too.

Emily Ratajkowski

Conformism is a potent statement, and as much as we do talk about individuality in fashion, there's a sense that people are fearful of not conforming and not being part of action.

Erin O'Connor

Conforming happens so naturally that we can forget how powerful it is. But the thing that makes us human are those times we listen to the whispers of our soul and allow ourselves to be pulled in another direction.
