Matthew Scott Kailey (March 17, 1955 – May 18, 2014) was a trans male author, educator, and transgender activist.

Kailey was born in 1955 in Omaha, Nebraska to Shirley and George “Rod” Kailey. He earned a BA in Sociology and Psychology at Iowa State University and an MA in Education from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He later moved to Colorado and began a career as a social caseworker.

Kailey began his female-to-male transition at the age of 42, transitioning from a straight woman to a gay trans man. After leaving social work, he became a writer for Out Front Colorado, one of the country's oldest LGBT publications. In 2007 he became its managing editor, making Kailey the highest-ranking trans journalist of an LGBT publication.

“I want to talk to them about literature or art or music or politics or movies or even what they want for dinner. I want to hear about who they are and I want them to see who I am, underneath the trans body and all that goes with it. With that in mind, when I do come out to someone, I want him or her to feel free to ask away—and then I want to talk about the weather.”
Matt Kailey, Just Add Hormones: An Insider's Guide to the Transsexual Experience
