School Bullying

Why I #StandWithGavin: Administrative bullying is still bullying — Being in prison can be draining — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. One of the things that keeps me going are the letters and cards you send me. Especially, letters and cards from trans kids. Being trans anywhere can be very hard. But, it is especially difficult when you are a…

How I Became A Writer

My thoughts on being called a “writer” — How did I become a writer? I have no idea. It just happened. I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be a writer. If you told me seven years ago that I’d be writing articles for the Guardian and blogging, I’d say you were crazy. I…
