We The T! is a month-long conversation that combines the resources and experience of staffers at Medium’s flagship magazine, Matter, with the perspectives of the most important trans writers, artists, and advocates today. Led by Buzzfeed LGBT’s Meredith Talusan, trans people were involved in the conception, the writing, editing, and art direction of every story in this series. We hope you’ll join our conversations around the most vital issues in the trans community.
