2022: Now you're a sports reporter sorry
On Weds, my wife & I had the amazing opp to see the Bidens speak on base. Afterward, my wife squeezed up front, told @POTUS she was a trans service member, and he pulled her into a heartfelt hug 😭 I also got a handshake. The tone shift & his support is incredible. #PrideMonth

With deep respect for those who came before me, gratitude for those who have supported me & great concern for the generation of trans youth we must all protect, please join me and decry anti-trans legislation, hate & discrimination in all its forms.
After a hiatus, we're back with a new interview of professor & historian @activisthistory! Learn why they wrote their book "Female Husbands: A Trans History," why queer & trans history is often erased, and what our community can learn from the past: profilesinpride.com/jen-mani…
I had the honor of serving as editor-in-chief for this issue and writing the cover story on the trans service ban repeal. Love when I can combine my passions with my work!

Really proud of my latest article for @CareDotCom about how parents can educate their kids about #transgender people and teach them to be allies. I interviewed some amazing experts, such as @JanaeKroc and a doctor from @ChildrensLA. Please check it out: care.com/c/stories/16916/tea…
Sad news out of SCOTUS today.
#BREAKING: Supreme Court rules that employers can deny women & LGBTQ people reproductive health coverage under the ACA. #HandsOffMyBC
Just reported two TERFs on Twitter. All in a day's work. Why these people think that trans people minding their own business offends their very existence is beyond me.

Here's all I really want to say about #JKRowling. tl/dr The best way to fight TERF ideology is to commit to dismantling white supremacy.

It seems awkward right now to say “people who menstruate” but this is just like changing other biased language.
Menstruation is a biological function; not a “woman thing.” It's unnecessary to gender body parts and doing so can restrict healthcare access for those who need it.

#Pride2020. This year, Pride is about liberation, justice, and community — the very things this movement was founded on 51 years ago. #pride #blacklivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter

Minneapolis Council VP Andrea Jenkins sings “Amazing Grace” at press conference for George Floyd.
She is the first black trans woman to be elected to public office — and represents a community that is too familiar with police brutality.
I'm honored to have been interviewed @uvlgbt, a podcast focused on the LGBTQIA community. I got to discuss why I started Profiles in Pride, but I was also able to talk about my writing career, personal journey, and pivotal moments in my life. I hope you'll listen!
