“Please, if you’re taking any classes in Women’s & Gender Studies, bring Riftgirl’s work to your professor’s attention—she’s totally syllabus-worthy.”
“I’m trying really hard not to have a crush on Riftgirl, but as Betty would tell anyone: I’m a sucker for the ones who make me laugh, and laugh hard.”
“I am thankful to live in a world where I have strong role models like you, Leith.”
“Lately, I haven’t felt like I fit in anywhere and having Leith point out that we do have these different identities really comforted me.”
“One thing I learned today is that Leith is hilarious. Great presentation.”
“Riftgirl was very, very influential on my trans journey. She still helps me to this day to find an inner peace and outer beauty through her video message that she shared with the public several years ago.”
“I followed Leith through both of her blogs, and then the videos began. She was a huge part of my life and greatly influenced my decision to transition.”
“I can’t begin to tell you how special your message was to everyone that was at Be-All. I spoke to countless attendees and speakers who could not help themselves from telling me how much they loved your time with us.”
“Riftgirl, I love this video! Okay—so it packs an intersectional analysis into a simple yet sophisticated framework, elegant and intimate. What could be better? A story without a story, which means it becomes many, many stories we know—those stories of striving and striking and, yes, we welcome both interrogation and evocation. Yay for ‘Crazy’!”
