transactiveonline.org; Susan Massch, the director of
transyouthequality.org; Joanne Herman, author of Transgender Explained For Those Who Are Not; Jenny Boylan, another author and awesome professor; and Jean Vermette, a solid Mainer who keeps me grounded.
A few years ago I went to lunch with Kelly, Jenn, and Susan. At lunch I was pretty quiet, listening to the women talk about gender non-conforming youth, hormone blockers, and the many transgender youth that needed our help.
