Happy to announce my first piece for the trans publication Assigned Media , which focuses on trans and nonbinary Wikipedia editors handling the onslaught of transphobia from the Trump administration.

Includes insights from awesome Wikipedia editors Tamzin and Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist. Also shout-out to awesome Wikipedian and crypto critic Molly White who I linked to for an editing tutorial and an interview.

Thanks to trans journalist Billie Jean Sweeney of Assigned Media for the editing of this piece!
