I recently updated my booking page to include new talks for 2018! If you are interested in bringing me out to speak or perform at your college, conference, or other event, you will find all the necessary information there!
New news! My latest book, Outspoken: A Decade of Transgender Activism and Trans Feminism was selected as a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Nonfiction! Paperbacks and e-books can be purchased at Amazon and other online retailers (Barnes & Noble, iTunes Books, etc.) and is available for bookstore and library purchasing through Ingram!

You can also learn more about my other books: Whipping Girl (now in its second edition!) and Excluded.
