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
