Best Of Amplify Respect

While I write about a variety of experiences and interests, I've found that advocating for and reporting on trans people's experiences has been the most meaningful and helpful. Traditional newsrooms and publications can be bigoted/biased or only interested in the basics - Trans 101. Publishing independently allows me to share reliable and supportive deep dives that I believe make a positive difference for LGBTQ+ folks and allies.
