I honestly think being non-binary is hardly the most interesting thing about me, but that fairly recent revelation served as a catalyst to get me to finally write something other than journalism, which I have practiced for more than 40 years and have long taught on the college level.

I can't remember exactly when I first learned about Medium, but I am sure it coincided with me losing patience with mainstream pack journalism. I still follow alternative media because they give a voice to those unheard in major newspapers or TV news outlets.

Medium provides a platform for refreshing storytelling that screams, "you're not alone." Putting into words why since adolescence I always felt a bit off – compared to my patriarchal peers – was obviously a long time coming.

I plan to write here about other topics such as music, the arts, sports, and politics when the muse hits, in a addition to gender identity.

I promise you this: Whatever subject you're passionate about you will find like-minded individuals here for $5 a month and learn plenty.

And if you like what you read here on Medium, please consider to finally support my writing (open to commissions) with whatever you can afford: https://buy.stripe.com/fZe3fZeIo8AQ1r26oo
