UPDATE November 2023: an anonymous individual continues to impersonate me in web contact forms. If you think you heard from "me," it was this impersonator. I regret the harm this person is causing.

UPDATE March 2023
In January 2023, an anonymous individual started spamming my website using an email from someone else they were harassing. They now use my email addresses to write harassing comments on blogs and to sign petitions with which I disagree. In February 2023 they created a profile with my name and an unauthorized picture of me to harass me here. This account and three additional fraudulent harassing accounts have since been deleted. They are now spending their time using the anti-LGBTQ groomer libel, accusing me of preying on childre UPDATE November 2023: an anonymous individual continues to impersonate me in web contact forms.

UPDATE March 2023
In January 2023, an anonymous individual started spamming my website using an email from someone else they were harassing. They now use my email addresses to write harassing comments on blogs and to sign petitions with which I disagree. In February 2023 they created a profile with my name and an unauthorized picture of me to harass me here. This account and three additional fraudulent harassing accounts have since been deleted. They are now spending their time using the anti-LGBTQ groomer libel, accusing me of preying on children because I am an ally to civil rights.

Their most recent profile uses the name of a beloved deceased friend.

In the context of stochastic terrorism against LGBTQ people, nationwide book bans, librarians being harassed for providing inclusive literature choices, and rising hate-motivated violence against trans people, particularly Black trans women, this is just a drop in the bucket- just a sad, lonely, troubled person being awful.

If you run across their hate, I encourage you to redouble your efforts to be an ally to trans people. Support the freedom to read, the freedom to live as one's true self, and the freedom to speak out against rising hate in our country.
