About the Author

Sam Killermann Self Portrait

Hi! I'm Sam Killermann. I'm the author of A Guide to Gender: The Social Justice Advocate's Handbook, and I was featured in Katie Couric's NatGeo documentary "Gender Revolution". I created It's Pronounced Metrosexual in 2011. I write everything here and doodle the doodles myself.

All of my work is directly supported by patronage, so if you appreciate what I'm doing you can pay me to keep doing it. I bet you'll also dig these other things I made:

  • 🏳️‍🌈 The Safe Zone Project (a free online resource for LGBTQ+ trainings)
  • 🚫 Social Justice, Minus Dogma Course (an online, at-your-own pace course for charting a path toward equity)
  • 💜 I <3 Singular They (an animated love letter to a pronoun... yep.)
  • 🌳 The Sexualitree (a comprehensive sexuality model, curriculum, & downloads)
