I was honored to share findings from my study on trans and nonbinary high school students to help teachers better understand their students’ experiences—and turn that understanding into meaningful action to support TNB students’ learning.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.
Thank you for this!

The fates of LGBTQ+ people and Ukraine are linked. Trump is following Putin into an oppositional modernity that uses misogyny, transphobia, and white supremacy as vehicles for recentering manliness in how we judge which nation-states are modern: www.asanet.org/footnotes-ar...
Is the shift from #girlboss to #tradwife a step backward for feminism? Or are both these myths simply features of our stalled feminist imaginations?
