We are four parents doing our darndest to write about issues that affect the humanity and dignity of trans folks. We write from deeply personal perspectives: each of us has a different story to tell. But we are united in our fight for trans people’s right to be themselves. As poet Trace Peterson says, “Everyone is a little trans.”

We publish one quality essay a week. No fluff. We don’t want to jam up your in-box. We may follow up with audio of the weekly essay, and we may re-post an essay from the past, especially if it is timely.
