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

As Iraq erupts in civil war and America again contemplates intervention, that unfinished business should give new urgency to the question of how the United States military controlled the media coverage of its long involvement there and in Afghanistan.

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.

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

I think we can achieve meaningful change, but only if we demand that the institutions themselves change their behavior.

I want people to see the truth.
