As I’ve seen some other writers doing this — here is an archive of the stories I’ve published on Medium, which I will attempt to keep updated (newest on top). This list contains only stories I originated, with the exception of a few substantive replies to others. Prior to September…
Brief post to share a statement posted yesterday from my office, which is timely as Dave Chappelle is planning to come to San Francisco tomorrow (November 4) for a documentary screening. I’m glad to work for an office that recognizes that Black and trans are not mutually exclusive.
Note that this post is not monetized, and I was not asked to post it here nor am receiving any compensation for doing so. Just signal boosting an important topic for the trans community.
Sigh… another week, another ignorant, bigoted celebrity crying that mean trans people who just can’t take a joke are “canceling” Black people and women for punching down on them.
There are numerous levels of ignorance in the proclamations of “team TERF” Dave Chappelle. One is the implication that Black and…
Today, September 23, is Celebrate Bisexuality Day. Also known as Bi Visibility Day, this annual event marks the finale of Bisexual Awareness Week, a time to celebrate and learn about the bisexual community.

Caitlyn Jenner is as representative of trans people as…
This week I cast my ballot, as I have in every U.S. general election and nearly every mid-term since I first became eligible to vote in 1988. But for the first time, I did not vote for a presidential candidate. This was not a decision I took lightly.

Every unique home deserves a unique address. So every new profile comes with its own Medium URL. We’ll prompt you the next time you publish a story.
I was impatient to reserve my usual “funcrunch” handle and couldn’t find a setting to do so. Hence this brief not-story.
OK, to assuage my guilt here and answer an infrequently-asked question: Funcrunch is a play on Fenchurch, from the excellent Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by the late great Douglas Adams.
This is not the story I planned to write today.
I intended to write about the distress I experienced yesterday, when I was misgendered as female for the first time in years. This was likely due to wearing a mask that covered my beard and a patterned headwrap that covered…
The Coronavirus pandemic has brought renewed attention to the harm animal agriculture inflicts not only on our fellow animals, but humans as well. …
