Everyday Trans Activism

After coming out at 15 in small-town Connecticut and giving a popular TEDx talk at Brandeis University, Ben has devoted his career to spreading empathy, education, and storytelling around the trans experience. He is a fierce advocate for transgender youth, regularly speaking in their defense at the Missouri State Capitol. When he's not speaking during working hours, he's delivering free presentations to parent support groups around the country and spending hours one-on-one with families of newly out transgender loved ones.
