"I think that one of the things that it's very important is not to let anybody decide or limit what you want to be, what you want to study, the kind of career that you want to pursue, how you want to identify yourself. Nobody, no institution, no culture, no society should limit you in your ability to do so. And I think that we live in a world of choices, and choices are available, and information to make choices that suit us is available. And that will create more transparency, and that will create more accountability. So staying alert, staying aware, and staying informed – and push back when something is not as we would wish it to be, or it doesn't feel right to us."
