Hari Nef Quotes:

Ariel is the most boring Disney princess.
Hari Nef

Being a woman is an option, being trans is an option, and they’re options that appeal to me. We need to listen to people – not labels, not semantics.
Hari Nef

Being a woman means that my male privilege seeped out of my body.

Fashion has always captivated me because, like I said, it has the potential to create narratives about what’s beautiful, aspirational, chic, masculine, feminine, glamorous, etc. Generally, this power is dispatched in useless ways.
Hari Nef

For me, Instagram had become a place where I could image myself the way I found myself.
Hari Nef

I could have hidden in Boston and lived at home for three years, gone through my transition, taken voice lessons to make my voice more feminine, gotten gender reassignment surgery, and spent time to complete my transition, but I didn’t want to wait. I wanted to be in the world.

I don’t feel comfortable with the idea that my only gateway into doing what I love to do is auditioning for other people to give me the green light and say that I’m allowed to do it, or that I’m allowed to play this role, or that I’m allowed to be in this movie. I would feel much more comfortable making those opportunities for myself.
Hari Nef

Hari Nef

I feel like so much of mainstream feminism springs from the second wave, which was essentially a discourse spearheaded by white, cisgender, upper middle class women. I feel – especially as I’m trying to negotiate this new female space with the feminism that’s available to me – there are a lot of places where I’m disenfranchised.
Hari Nef

I feel like the most fascinating parts of a trans life take place after the decision to transition. They take place when you’re in this new body, in this new life, and you start realizing things.
Hari Nef

I get a facial maybe a couple of times a year.

I had family who exposed me to all sorts of different media involving actors – films, theatrical productions touring through Boston. My grandparents, particularly my mother’s parents, were huge fans of all the arts, and they took me to these shows and exhibits at a very young age, so I was just immersed in it.

I keep a very cold apartment – I tend to crank my AC just about as low as it can go. I sleep with a big, warm comforter, even during the summer, and just burrow underneath it.

I liked playing video games because I felt like I was inside of the story in a way that I didn’t feel when I was just watching something. Any chance I could get to step into the shoes of another person, I would take. I couldn’t get enough of stories.
Hari Nef

I live in a little studio apartment, so I try to keep the space super clean at all times.
Hari Nef

I prefer men who are queer. Not gay men, but queer men – guys with an open mind. Bisexual men, because they’re able to understand the different elements of the body without judging that I don’t conform to a certain ideal.
Hari Nef

I see a Reiki healer from time to time. She sits on my bed, and I lie in her lap. She puts her hands on me for about 45 minutes, and she reads my energy. Whenever I’m having a hard time, I call her. I also go to weekly therapy, and that has been invaluable. Also, getting on medication for my ‘neural atypicalities,’ I guess we might call them.
Hari Nef

I think it’s an oversimplification of somebody’s worth to ‘cancel’ them. We’re so quick to cancel but also so quick to lift somebody up as ‘the queen,’ ‘the mom,’ ‘the dad,’ ‘the god.’
Hari Nef

I think people get stuck in a cycle with social media sometimes and don’t know how to make adjustments that are personal.
Hari Nef

I think that often my work is obscured by my gender identity.
Hari Nef

I think that you need to balance a critique of feminine, patriarchal beauty ideals while simultaneously understanding how they can make you safe, and they can make you feel safe, and they can open up certain doors for you that would have been closed.
Hari Nef

I travel a lot, so I don’t have a morning routine because where I wake up tends to be inconsistent. But I’m always really, really hungry when I wake up, so breakfast is important.
