I’ve written and deleted several intros to the 7Qs video from Dr. Kortney Ryan Ziegler, so I think it’s just best to be up front about my issue. I have a crush on Kortney. This ...

As I turned my attention to the Trans 100, I had to turn away from 7 Questions submissions for a bit. My thanks to those of you who are patiently awaiting your turn on the ...
Welcome Carolyn to the ever growing family of 7Qs participants. Carolyn’s story strikes me as increasingly common, and it’s the simplicity of it which makes it remarkable in comparison to the previously dominant narratives. Happily, ...
I first learned about Nino while going through the 500+ nominations for the Trans 100 list. A Chicagoan with several nominations? This was clearly someone I needed to know. Happily, he readily agreed to do ...
Welcome Claire, a Cornish, happily married, nonbinary trans person, and another to join the ranks of the 1st video club. I appreciate that she immediately owns up to being part of the problem that she’d ...
Be prepared to be swept up in Alix’s whole hearted enthusiasm, clear moral compass, and joyful disregard for the petty judgements of others. Currently serving openly in the military, he’s a big fan of our ...
I really do have a special spot for first videos, submissions by people who aren’t really visible online, but get inspired by the other entries here and decide to put themselves out there. It’s terrifying ...
Even before watching, I already knew Danielle was a kind and patient woman, because she’s been perfectly sweet about the long delay in getting her video posted here. Happily, her charming video further reinforces this. ...
