    Kate is a pioneer and has personally inspired me to get out of hell free when I really needed it. She challenges the gender binary and sees the broader implications that gender oppression has on everyone (trans* and cis), instead of trying to "normalize" being transgender. I feel like she deserves a little bit more respect, at least from the interviewer, than being side-eyed, scrutinized, and othered by a young trans person.
