Sample Book Insights: #1 I was able to keep my health insurance in 2019, which came with the added bonus of being able to continue driving bigots crazy with accusations of being a transgender delegate. #2 The first person to ask me to consider running for office was James Parrish, who led the LGBTQ rights organization Equality Virginia in Richmond. I had never been involved with activism before, but I felt like I could help out legislators who hadn’t seen me in person since I changed my name and gender marker. #3 I was a journalist at the Montgomery County Sentinel, a newspaper in Maryland, and I was burning out. I was stagnating, and my enthusiasm was dipping. I loved this career, but it wasn’t panning out. #4 I had become intent on plotting how to get the Prince William County School Board to revise their nondiscrimination policy to include sexual orientation and gender identity. I spent every shift at the Afghan Kabob House, plotting how to earn those five votes.
