Trad Trans!

Welcome to What’s Helping Today, a newsletter about the everyday work of staying alive on earth, written by author and journalist Sandy Ernest Allen.

Hi all!

Suuuper quick:

Just wanted to share: I’ve got a new essay out today, from Eater!

It’s on being a “trad trans” guy (LOL).

Really proud of this one. It’s a topic close to my heart, and I love how it came out, just, as an essay.

Plus, check out my beets:

Read it on Eater.

I hope you enjoy.

Sandy

p.s. If you read the piece and like it, maybe share it? With … garden lovers? Plant people? Rural folks? Maybe anyone who could stand to read a not-depressing story by and about a trans person, in June 2025? Or anyone who should read such a thing?

p.p.s. What’s Helping Today: Got to do a very fun and cathartic interview today … Excited to share more soon.
