1) You live in a rather rural area of Michigan. Does that make it harder to get involved in advocacy work?
Not so much harder to do the work, but sometimes the drive is a bit difficult after a long day. The largest obstacle to advocacy in a rural area is the area itself. There is a great deal of "trans-phobia" in less-populated places, and the general belief is that the issues I address are problems in big cities only. That simply is not true.
