POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
My book, AMERICAN TEENAGER, hit shelves exactly two years ago. Getting it picked up at all was very difficult because we were told REPEATEDLY that there was no market for a book about trans kids and that it wouldn’t sell. 

Wrong. Here’s what has happened since October 2024:

• My book sold 20,000+ copies to date and debuted on the bestseller list.
• We’re in at least our sixth (or seventh?) printing and have run of stock several times trying to keep up with demand.
• We’re about to release a Japanese translation.
• I’ve toured the country for 24 months, nearly consecutively (all self-organized).
• That tour is likely the most extensive book tour in history, covering 420+ stops in all 50 states (including D.C. and four of the Hawaiian islands).
• My schedule is booked through the end of the year, and I’ve already started planning for 2027.
• It’s highly likely I’ll keep touring for as long as this guy is president. Trying!

Never, ever believe them when they tell us our stories don’t matter.
