On Being Misquoted In MSNBC’s”More Transgender Kids Seeking Help, Getting Treatment”
A few days ago, I conversed with a very nice reporter who was doing a story for MSNBC. She wanted to have an individual’s personal story to add to the recent reports in the journal Pediatrics, which reference the positive outcomes in appropriately treating transgender children.

A Call for Action: Stop Doing Harm to Children
The twenty-first century has brought with it a challenge to the male-female binary and a sea change in our understanding of gender, which in turn has opened up the doors for more children to announce at earlier ages that they are not the gender everyone thinks they are or that they certainly are not going to stay locked in rigid gender boxes.

Out or Stealth?
Of course the question of whether to be out about our gender history or to keep this information private is impossible to boil down to an either/or question. I suspect for most of us it can be a regular, if not daily decision based on numerous variables.
