About Julia Serano
About Switch Hitter
Hi, I’m Julia Serano. I write about gender, sexuality, science, and social justice, with an emphasis on trans, queer, and feminist issues. I’ve authored five books, including Whipping Girl, Excluded, Sexed Up, and the award-winning bi-themed novel 99 Erics. My writings have also appeared in The New York Times, TIME, The Guardian, The Daily Beast, Salon, AlterNet, The Advocate, Out, and Ms.
While I occasionally write for mainstream media outlets, their format isn’t especially well-suited for me, as they tend to only publish “101”-level LGBTQ+ and social justice pieces, whereas I prefer sinking my teeth into “201” and “301”-level topics. Also, I like to write more lengthy, thoughtful, and nuanced pieces, whereas Internet-driven media is more geared towards quick responses and cut-and-dried opinions.
