Erin T. Reed (born 1988 or 1989)[1] is an American journalist and transgender rights activist. She writes a newsletter titled Erin in the Morning.[2]
Reed worked as a digital director for The American Independent from 2016 until 2021.[3][4] While there, she created a column that made election predictions.[5]
After 2021, Reed worked as a transgender rights blogger. She focuses on legislation that impacts LGBT, and often specifically transgender, people.[3][6] In addition to her blog, Reed has written for Harper's Bazaar,[7] the Los Angeles Blade,[8] and other publications.[9]
In 2019, Reed created a map of informed consent clinics to help trans people find healthcare providers.[4] In 2021, her data was used by anti-trans activists to harass healthcare providers on the list.[10][11]
Reed was criticized in late 2022 for referring to an Ohio State Board of Education hearing as a "victory" in an article for Harper's Bazaar; The Buckeye Flame, an Ohio LGBT newspaper, compared her article to George W. Bush's Mission Accomplished speech from 2003.[12]
In 2023, Reed published a map tracking US states that had the most and least legislative protection for transgender individuals. She has updated the map as new laws are proposed and passed.[13][14]
Reed was raised in southern Louisiana,[15] and she now lives in Montgomery County, Maryland.[16]
Reed is transgender.[4] She began researching gender transition when she was 13.[4] However, she did not pursue it until her early 30s, as she did not know how to access healthcare options.[4][15]
In 2022, Reed started a long-distance relationship with Montana state representative Zooey Zephyr.[17] They were engaged in May 2023.[18] Earlier that month, the couple was targeted in failed swatting attempts. Reed credited local police for stopping the incident.[16][19] In June 2023, the Associated Press referred to Reed and Zephyr as "prominent figures in the world of LGBTQ+ advocacy," despite being unknown just a few months before.[17]
