What is your definition of feminism? 

​

        The belief that people of all genders are equal and deserve to be treated as such; it also            must be intersectional.                 

​

What makes you consider yourself a feminist?

​

       I think that gender should not dictate your opportunities. 

​

Was there a specific time when you realized you were a feminist? 

​

       It was a gradual thing, as I did not always know the term as such. 

​

How has feminism impacted your life? 

​

      It has made life much more bearable (see: all the rights that have been won back for us,            like going to school and being able to vote) 

​

How does intersectionality matter to you? 

​

      Any feminism that does not include PoC, LGBT+, disability, and other marginalized                  groups is not truly feminism. 

​

How do you engage with feminism? 

​

      I try to call out sexism when I see it and do my best to help share resources with those             who need them. 

​

Do you have a favorite celebrity feminist or two? Why? 


       Probably Emma Watson and Jameela Jamil because they both have been very vocal and            active in fighting for equality. 

​

Do you believe there can be different versions of feminism? 

​

       Yes

​

Have you ever taken a Women's Studies course? 

      

      No, but I have taken courses in Spanish related to it
 

Do you think some feminists are too radical? 

​

     TERFs* are, but they are not really feminists due to their trans-exclusionary beliefs. 

​

    *TERF = trans-exclusionary radical feminist
