Happy Pride Month everyone!

I'm publishing my voter guide for San Francisco and California voters.

I’ve voted in every election since my 18th birthday. I also have strong opinions. That said, it’s getting harder and harder for me to be engaged in the voting process, particularly because of a total dearth of candidates for any office that I’m excited to vote for. This year is the worst year ...

I am so honored to share that I was selected for the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association's annual 40 Best LGBTQ+ Lawyers Under 40 list! This is a huge honor and my selection has made me very emotional, especially as my selection was directly due to my work with Identity Affirmation Workshop, which is my passion project. I will be traveling to Chicago in July to accept this award.

Each year, the LGBTQ+ Bar recognizes LGBTQ+ legal professionals (practicing lawyers, law professors, corporate counsel, members of the judiciary, politicians, etc.) under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves in their field and have demonstrated a profound commitment to LGBTQ+ equality.

As the holidays approach, a time where we celebrate with our loved ones, but also where people are often left behind, I provide this important reminder. Yes, I’m a lawyer, but I’m a person first. Happy holidays!

Popping in for a National Coming Out Day post. I’ve come out so many times over the years, each organically, that I don’t think I have anything else to come out as. Of course, I won’t hold my breath; life is long and complicated and full of surprises. But for right now, I’m content.

I envision a world where coming out is merely informational, rather than a big emotional event. Or, even, a world where coming out is entirely unnecessary because gender and sexuality are broadly fluid and the world accepts people as individuals and not collectivities of identity-parts. But with 50+ countries still outlawing same-sex in*******se, the world broadly sliding farther into fascism with trans and q***r people largely in the crosshairs, and much of the world too dangerous to travel to purely because of the gender marker on my passport, even for me as a white, educated, male-bodied person with money, these dreams feel farther away than any time in recent memory.

But I maintain hope. Always. It’s almost trite at this point, but trans and q***r joy, success, compassion, and love are some of the most powerful tools available to us. If we lose hope, it feels like all is lost. But all is not lost, so long as we have each other’s backs, and so long as you all have our backs too.

Something a little different today.

2025 has been wild, so far. For those of us who are progressive-minded and empathetic, this has been one of the most difficult periods of any of our lives. I’ve been running my private law practice (which is in a growth phase), Identity Affirmation Workshop (my name/gender change nonprofit with 94...

Look. Today sucks. I’m trying really hard to ignore the blatant downfall of the American government. But there are some important things to remember: 1) nothing has actually changed yet; 2) they are trying to overwhelm us and make us panic by throwing everything at us at the same time; and 3) there are so many amazing people out there (myself included) who have dedicated our lives to fighting back. Never despair, never give up hope. Reach out if you need support. 😘

I'm terrible at posting about professional achievements, but I'm working on getting better at it. I'm proud to share that, for the third year in a row, I was named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers. This means that I'm considered to be in the top 2.5% of all attorneys within their first ten years of practice.
