For 25 years, I've been making a difference on important social issues wherever I could, with a focus on consumer rights and "countless other projects related to LGBTQ identities," according to <a href="http://time.com/4568225/tinder-gender-feature-transgender/" target="_blank">Time</a>. My work includes: <ul><li>thousands of pages of free online consumer information on a wide range of topics</li><li><ul><li><a href="https://transgendermap.com" target="_blank">Transgender Map</a>, on gender identity and expression</li><li><a href="https://hairfacts.com">HairFacts</a> and <a href="http://HairTell.com" target="_blank">HairTell</a>, on hair removal</li></ul></li><li>thousands of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jokestress">free Wikipedia articles</a></li><li>dozens of free <a href="https://www.andreajames.com/film-television/instructional-videos/" target="_blank">videos</a> to help people with their gender transitions</li><li>major <a href="https://www.andreajames.com/film-television/" target="_blank">film and television</a> projects, many on trans issues</li><li>investigating scams and petitioning the government to protect trans consumers</li><li>helping companies and social media platforms be more gender-inclusive</li><li>mentoring and supporting trans filmmakers</li><li>preserving historically important films about trans people </li><li>helping trans+ and gender+ youth and their families</li><li>other <a href="https://www.andreajames.com/writing/" target="_blank">writing</a> that includes books, blog posts, and magazine articles</li></ul>I have been doxxed, defamed, unsuccessfully sued, and threatened by all sorts of people who want to silence me or my messages. It will take more than that! Here's where I need your help. I have put everything back into my work, and that work does not pay much. I invested my prime earning years into helping people for free, because I believe the more people I can help, the more time and money they have to support important causes. If my work has helped you, I hope you'll consider helping me in return with Patreon support in any amount!
