About Amplify Respect

Hi, I'm Rey.

I am a trans, non-binary writer (published in HuffPost) who is passionate about building empathy and understanding with respectful language.

Every week, I delve into a topic to uplift and inform our trans community and allies.

No stressful news roundup here; we focus on compassion, hope, and respect.

Our readers love Amplify Respect

River Selby, author of Hotshot: A Life on Fire, says:

Rey is truly a treasure- their writing is so down to earth and accessible and also so, so important and enlightening.

Frankie de la Cretaz, author of Hail Mary: The Rise and Fall of the National Women's Football League, says:

Rey is lovely and I’m glad to see them having an impact. ❤️

Kari Ginsburg, author of Hey Glitterbomb: A No-BS Guide to Being Too Much, Taking Up Space, and Loving The Legacy You Create, says:

Informational, hopeful, and welcoming, and I'm psyched when the latest issue arrives in my inbox.

Russell Nohelty, USA Today bestselling author, says:

They’re the best. I learn so much from them.

Allegra Chapman, author of Creativity Is Your Self-Care, says:

If you're keen to be an ally to your trans and non-binary siblings on this planet but feel unsure of how to go about it or don't feel confident in your understanding of gender identity issues, writers like Rey are invaluable. Their writing is informative and challenging, whilst always remaining accessible, welcoming and supportive. Also they're really funny and entertaining. Check them out!

Johnny B. Truant, author of Fat Vampire and 100+ books, says:

Thanks for being you. It’s taken me time to see through the binary/hetero/cis that I took as standard and unwavering through most of my life, so it’s always great to hear voices I haven’t heard before.

LC Sharkey says:

I love how good you are at asking questions and initiating dialog that prompts so many of us to think more deeply, in a very nuanced way, about both gender as a cultural phenomenon, and our own relationship to, and experience of, gender.

It's also very encouraging to see how many readers who are cis-het find something to identify with in these conversations. It's fun to see how we all have relatable experiences to share, even when our genders (or lack thereof), and the way we express them, are so different.

With your guidance, the conversation has a sense of gentle curiosity that I find very welcoming and accessible.

Jude says:

I have been trawling for uplifting posts about trans/non-binary people. Unfortunately most of what I’m finding is hateful rhetoric, but your helpful article emerged like a shining beacon of hope!
