I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Queerness as political philosophy—a politics of pro-social possibility amidst difference—is the loudhailer for anti-imperialism and anti-hierarchy. We therefore must continue to reflect on how queerphobia from within different liberation movements erodes the ground upon which those movements move.

Really the fundamental problem is that "guy who decides if you get to transition or not" is a job that shouldn't exist. Every other issue in trans care is downstream from that.
