I want people to see the truth.

There are just too many opportunities - and an increasing number of them - to hide systemic, institutional wrongdoing behind legal veils, legal theories, and arbitrary exemptions. I hope that we can start to chip away at this, but it sure looks like society is still sliding in the opposite direction.

There is an awful lot of work to do to protect trans folks. We are still disproportionally poor and administratively and institutionally discriminated against at all levels of society.

Even if I didn't have the support that I have, I would still be fighting the same fights, and I would still be the same person that I am today.

I think it's actually kind of sweet how there is a reciprocal effect that our stories can have on each other.

Donations to my legal defense fund really help, and I think keeping me motivated and spreading the message are also very important.

The press and free speech landscape has totally changed. There is far less news reporting today. Instead, we have this endless stream of - largely meaningless and speculative - analysis by sideline commentators and self-proclaimed "experts."
