Advancing a world where all genders are welcome.

TransClue is a trans-owned coaching, training, and consulting company.

The world is undergoing a seismic cultural shift when it comes to gender identity. Where we once viewed gender in black and white, new generations are painting it in technicolor.

of Californians age 12-17  identify as androgynous or gender nonconforming

of Millennials identify as gender non-conforming or transgender (twice the number for Gen Y).

of Gen Z’ers know someone who uses gender-neutral pronouns such as they/them

 

Clients include the Environmental Protection Agency, Change.org, the Ad Council, the University of Texas, the National League of Conservation Voters, FCB Health, eOne, and Catholics for Choice.

I’m a 61-year-old trans elder and I welcome the chance to be your guide into a modern understanding of gender.

I launched TransClue in 2020 to meet the growing demand for education that empowers organizations to become more trans-inclusive. Since then, my clients have included the Environmental Protection Agency, the National League of Conservation Voters, and Catholics for Choice. I also provide leadership coaching for social entreprenuers with support from New Profit Foundation.

In 2021, I also developed Leading While Trans – under the sponsorship of Change.org – for trans and nonbinary leaders from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, England, and Germany. 

In February 2024, I posted an Instagram reel about teaching Trans 101 to elders  that went viral.  To meet the needs I learned about through responses to the reel, I am launching Trans 101 for Boomers+.  It’s a two-hour, highly-interactive Zoom session where those of us who are older can explore modern notions of gender.  

Trans 101 for Boomers+ builds upon my passion for building intergenerational connections including recent interviews with trans elders — published in Condé Nast’s Them —  which have been nominated for a 2024 GLAAD award.  

Before launching Transclue, I served as chief engagement officer of SAGE, a national nonprofit advocating for LGBTQ+ elders. I am very proud of SAGETable, an initiative I led which was supported by AARP, in which thousands of LGBTQ+ people met to build connections across generations.

As a grantmaker at the Chicago Community Trust, I oversaw a 10-year, $30 million initiative to strengthen support for families in seven Chicago communities.  I taught nonprofit management at DePaul University, founded a social media company that served nonprofits and foundations, and launched and later sold dapperQ.com which uses fashion to build solidarity across queer communities.  

I am a budding woodworker building wooden urns — and what I call “yurns” – that support major life and death moments. (Coming soon.)

Whether you are trans and grieving or ally and honoring, I stand with you. I’ll be warmed by the interest of elder allies who want to learn and grow. 

PS New MAGA Congressional members aren’t saying their new colleague can’t pee, just that she can’t do it in Congressional offices where she was elected to serve.

How do you want to be remembered? What's the thru-line of your narrative? I'm sitting with these questions as I prepare to record an interview with @theoutwordsarchive. 

In these dark times, I'm wondering more about who I will be than what will happen. I can only control the former and I am choosing to stand.

It’s an honor to fight for democracy thru on-the-ground get out the vote efforts. AND in the waning days of this election, in the swingiest of all states, it’s scary as hell. 

Love my ride or die @suzannekwalton

Please consider the most nurturing way you might endure this Election Day and the morning(s) after. For the isolators among us, let’s consider the warmth of fellow mammals. And let’s stay safe until then.

Anti-trans propaganda under a rock on out steps twice this week. It’s political violence and we’ve reported it to the police so that it’s on record. Next few weeks, let’s take care of each.

PS So far, we’ve heard of two other households with quiet flags who’ve gotten it:(
