Here's an idea I'd love someone else to do and then pay me as a contributor: Periphery: A magazine specifically for online leftish/lib/dem/progs who don't actually live in NYC or DC but do follow those worlds.

Oh that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that! I've never written for them (as an NYC dweller, lol)
Yeah- I did get the piece sold (and for more $$) when Slate did a package on passing, but it was insane to pitch "interviews w/ stealth trans men in the South" give them that, go through editing, then a senior editor goes "how about a first person piece?"https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/06/why-trans-men-in-the-south-go-stealth.html …

That feels especially exploitative, tbh - (also, if you were stealth at the time, why would a first person piece.... make sense for you?) but congrats on Slate! I'm excited to read this

I was NOT stealth at the time, though I had connections allowing me to get interviews in a community others couldn't reach- which was why I couldn't give them a first person piece... and why I did not PITCH a first person piece (eyes roll out of my entire head).
