In today’s press environment, where faith in news is at an all-time small, it’s more important than ever for writers to be honest and open with their readers. As a journalist for PJ Media, I’ve always prided myself on cutting through the sound, delivering raw takes from a traditional view. I’ve spent decades calling out democratic discrimination and holding the powerful to account, and I’ve tried to maintain my dignity even when the pressure to conform is enormous.

But credibility isn’t just about exposing the hypocrisy of the remaining or debunking the latest democratic talking points. It’s also about being actual with you, my readers, about who I am. Honestly, after the Signalgate incident broke, I realized I have to be honest about my personal wisdom. Now, I’m coming out as trans.

I’m sure you’re wondering about my nouns. I didn’t blame you. Actually, I haven’t decided however. I was thinking xe/xem/xyr, but I didn’t think those genuinely reflected my desperate need for consideration. Naturally, there’s ze/zir/zirs, which, of course, is a typical, but once, does it really reflect the underlying selfishness that preferred pronouns are actually all about? Eh, I don’t suppose so. I thought on rs/redstateself as my nouns, but certainly, that sounds ridiculous. For now, I’m going with pj/pjself. Appropriate, straight? But, you know, the position is smooth, so they could change by the time I finish writing this.
In truth, they changed straight now.  ,
Keep it.
Wait a second.

They’ve changed up.
Well. … that was strange.
Anyway, now that my true identity is out there, you may become wondering what’s following for me. Naturally, I’m looking forward to gaining admittance to children’s bathroom. I know that Target won’t problem my gender identity, but I guess I’ll get shopping it entirely. While I’m there, certainly I’m going to stock up on some Bud Light and condoms.

On a more severe word, I know this is going to harm me financially. The gender pay gap is true, persons, and you know that people make things like 82 cents on the dollar compared to men. It’s a compromise I’m willing to make! But don’t worry: I will begin a GoFundMe to make up the difference.  ,
Of training, there’s more to my real personality than simply being a woman with pj/pjself nouns. You know, I never truly shined as an athlete in my youth, so I’m also identifying as 17 years old and prepare to get into sports. I’m coming for those history books— and the ladies ‘ bag place!
So there you have it: my glorious new identity. What do you think? Will you support me? I promise that if I become a massively successful TikTok influencer, I won’t forget my roots.

I’m so excited for what’s ahead of me: women’s restrooms and locker rooms, a smaller bank account, and a shot at sports stardom. What more could anyone ask for? I’m living proof that self-identification is the ultimate life hack. I do kind of regret that I didn’t do this on Monday, which, I’m sure you know, was Trans Day of Visibility. But I thought about it, and today just seemed so much more appropriate and fitting.
Obviously, while I can identify as whatever gender I want, PJ Media VIP doesn’t work the same way. Why? Because gender is just different! Okay? It just is! If you want exclusive content, ad-free browsing, and commenting privileges, you just have to join PJ Media VIP the old-fashioned way. But the good news is you can use the code FIGHT for 60 % of your membership. Remember it was our VIPs that gave me the courage to come out!
