Writing about Social Issues

THINKPIECES, MEMOIRS, AND THAT SORT OF THING

I write about LGBTQ+ and especially transgender issues, Hispanic issues, autistic issues, immigrant issues, atheist issues, and more. My writing has been published in Playboy, Femme Feminism, The Humanist, Greatist, GOMag, and more. I use my experiences as a member of all of these groups to inform my work.

This section also contains my general-interest writing, such as cooking, travel, and household advice.
