Disturbingly, the First Amendment, along with the Fourth Amendment - protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures, and requiring warrants - have been the major casualties of the shift in government policy in the last two decades. Unfortunately, I think that the biggest consequences of this tragedy won't be clear until it is far, far too late.

Day-to-day life is as simple as it is routine - though my days are often long and very busy.

There is far more to transitioning in the public eye than money, public relations, and logistics.

While being tossed around the world from place to place as a teenager, I wasn't really tethered to any place or anyone.

I want people to see the truth.

It can be so difficult to get people to think about systemic institutional problems. It is easier just to see the actions of one or two people and say, "That's wrong!"

It's not my goal to be a leader or spokesperson, or anything like that.
