Joanne Herman
Retired transgender advocate
Joanne Herman retired from transgender advocacy work in 2013. From the time she affirmed her true gender in 2002 (in her late 40s), she wrote actively to help others understand what it means to be transgender. During that time, increased transgender acceptance led to gender affirmations at ages much younger than Joanne’s. Joanne retired so that voices with more current experiences could come to the forefront.
