Trans author and activist Matt Kailey passed away this past weekend.

His sister shared these details: "I wanted to let you know that Matt Kailey, my brother, has passed away. He died of heart failure in his sleep Saturday night/early Sunday morning. His untimely and unexpected passing has been a shock. With the help of family and friends, I am currently working on processing this tragedy and making arrangements. I will post more information at a later time. Thank you for being Matt's friends."

Matt Kailey and I never met in person. And yet it's hard to overstate the impact of Matt on my life. Without him, I simply wouldn't be the man I am today.
