CA Veterans Separated for Gender Dysphoria - Benefits Access

California journalist looking for perspectives Hi MilitaryTrans community! My name is Kate and I'm a politics reporter with the news outlet CalMatters. I'm reporting on a new bill in California called AB 1775, which aims to provide more supports for members of the military who were separated due to gender dysphoria diagnoses. I'm hoping to speak with Californians who may be struggling with employment, housing, or receiving benefits following separation, or who are worried about their future if they are involuntarily separated. I'd love to speak on the record, but am happy to speak with people off the record too to better understand their situation. Please send me a DM or reply here if you'd be open to speaking in the next few days. Thanks!

San Diego & Riverside Residents on Prop 50 for CalMatters

California residents will soon vote on Prop 50 to decide if the state should redraw its U.S. House maps to give Democrats more seats in Congress. Voters in Southern California – especially in San Diego and Riverside Counties – could see their districts dramatically change under the new maps. I'm looking to speak to residents in this part of the state about their thoughts on Prop 50 for a story for CalMatters. Do you support it? Are you against it? Are you confused by it? Feel free to email [email redacted] or DM me. #journorequest #journalismrequest #prop50
