I'm launching something for us. Not-Ship: a newsletter using data and visuals to navigate our turbulent world. Everything feels like A LOT lately. It's all so uncertain. And the way I try to make sense of things is with data. So, that's what Not-Ship is all about. Come chart the chaos with me.

It's been quite a week for trans people and the news, as we process the fallout from the murder of Charlie Kirk, conservative influencer. The problem when news outlets publish misinformation is it legitimizes the incorrect info. Read the rest here: www.amplifyrespect.com/what-even-is...

Who do I know who is a trans person and/or ally, and, is fluent in Spanish? I would love to collaborate on a resource for parents and grandparents who have a trans kid and would like to learn more.

"I use they/them in non-queer spaces, but in queer spaces sometimes I prefer she/her. She/her feels good tonight." I think a lot of allies don't realize many of us who use "they" and "them" are trying to make it a little easier for you. www.amplifyrespect.com/clothes-do-n...

Someone just became a paid subscriber to Amplify Respect! Thank you!! 🧡

Trans women ARE at risk for prostate cancer, whether or not they've had bottom surgery. I was surprised to hear this information from a reader, and I suspect it may not be common knowledge, so I wanted to share what I've learned with you. www.amplifyrespect.com/are-trans-wo...

This week, how to change a habit! www.amplifyrespect.com/p/looking-na...

A strange man asked me an intrusive question…while I was sitting on the toilet in a women’s bathroom. He wanted to know if I was female or male. Do you know how alarming it can be to have a man yelling at you through the door of a bathroom stall? I wrote about what happened for HuffPost.

This week, I dive into why bathroom laws make very little sense… www.amplifyrespect.com/p/when-you-g...

I’ve been thinking a lot about how important it is to have access to healthcare. In Senate Bill 1, Tennessee is attacking not only trans rights but also parental rights, and arguing that lawmakers, not doctors, should dictate medical care. www.amplifyrespect.com/p/us-vs-skrm...
