At 46 I finally stopped suppressing the woman I'd always been. At 53, I'm writing about what that survival actually costs — and what it earns.
Research from the Williams Institute documents that trans parents face discrimination in custody and adoption at crisis rates. A landmark parenting meta-analysis found gender does not determine parenting quality. The law hasn't caught up to the science. I have.

I spent 37 years trying to silence the voice that knew I was a woman. At 46 I stopped. At 53 I'm asking what it means to be a mother — and why parenting research has better answers than any legislature.

I spent thirty-seven years trying to kill the voice that knew I was a woman. Not silence her — kill her. She didn't die. She waited.
I'm 53. I started my transition at 46. This Mother's Day I wrote the column I've needed to write for years — about why I have every right to the word "mother," backed by science and built from testimony.
Parenting quality is not determined by a parent's gender. Trans mothers exist. I'm one of them.

That moment when you take a picture of the angelic sleeping baby and five minutes later they wake themselves up by barfing all over.

thanks so much y'all! just received $20!

no specific goal in mind but $1k would be phenomenal and give some real breathing room... the overlimits alone are $530, and fortunately don't have any penalties beyond the exorbitant interest rates. but they do affect my credit, which made it harder for us to get an apartment.

I hadnt seen this speech by NY dem. Senator Maloney before and feel that's a shame. Sharing so others can see it too.

Sidenote: Sharing solely for the message in the video. I know little else about him or his politics. He lost his seat to a freshman con. in November.

“You keep having them, we’ll keep raising them.” Brilliant and perfectly said by Maloney.
