Quotes from the episode:

"I was walking in Midtown Manhattan and I passed this group of men and I heard someone say, 'That's a man,' and then one of them kicked me. I remember being really scared but that pales in comparison to the reality that a lot of other trans women are dealing with right now." - Laverne Cox

"The doctor said he's never had a patient like me before and he didn't know what to do and it made him feel uncomfortable. We went to 9 different doctors and ultimately we had to get pregnant at home. Nancy inseminated me at home." - Thomas Beatie

"We have thought about it. You know, one of our children going to school and saying 'Mommy has a penis.' But, I'm hoping, with everything that's going on now, by the time our children are third/fourth grade, that society, at least the majority of society, better understands who trans people are so we don't have to explain ourselves ever time." - Nick Bowser

"Robin Williams died... I cried for two days. Him dying... changed the world's tilt... it crushed me. I really understood where his loneliness came from. And yet I was like, I'm going to find the, positive in this.' My special's dedicated to Robin Williams." - Dane Cook

"When you're off-stage, that's when you gotta keep getting up there on life, because that silence after you get the applause and... the smiles, and the appreciation, the silence, can be deafening." - Dane Cook
