What message do you have for trans and queer youth? You are not alone. Don’t let them erase you. This isn’t the first time or the last time that trans people will have to fight to exist – don’t give up the fight. Read up on your history and take pride in it. Make art. Write […]

This weekend, we published number 13 in this series (Erika Strassburger) so it is time to update once again. I’ve reached out to over 40 campaigns, 20 have replied requesting a Q&A.
