Come See Me in the Good Light was nominated for Best Documentary at the Oscars. This is a queer/non-binary love story that breaks down borders because it is tender and unflinching. It will break your heart and teach you how to love poetry, deeply and differently. GO SEE IT!!! Rest in Power Andrea!

The role of education, parenting and community in gender identity
YouTube video by CBS News The role of education, parenting and community in gender identity

In 2017, I interviewed with @wagnertonight.msnbc.com and talked about the role of education in gender identity.

My forthcoming book, We Refuse to Disappear: Resistance Amid Anti-Trans Education Policy, challenges the Trump administration on education policy.
