It’s been months since I’ve done an update, so here goes: Most recently, I was included in the trans 100 list. It was kinda cool to get a personal congratulations from Fallon Fox: I got to see the final proof of the piece I’ll have in the Transgender Studies Quarterly journal and The Queer South […]
OutSmart magazine asked me to write a piece on the TERF phenomena. My 2500+ word article featured just two sentences that mentioned Cathy Brennan’s behavior. Cathy Brennan – a Maryland attorney, activist, leader and a public face of TERFism – is demanding that my article be edited so that it remains silent about her behavior in […]
