Back in April, trans rights activist Jey McCreight was violently assaulted in Chicago. Jey escaped, but, but had to be hospitalized, and needed surgery. (Details in the linked story).

Jey, who used to be a member of Freethought Blogs, recently founded BeyondXandY to advocate for transgender rights and show that biology is non-binary. They had been promoting the launch prior to the attack.

Today, Jey is recovering and has a GoFundMe to cover their medical bills and lost income. As of today, it’s about $10K short of the goal.

In an interview, Jey said they would keep working on BeyondXandY. Considering all the hate they’ve endured, going all the back to the founding of Atheism+, I’m impressed with their resilience and dedication to social justice.
