Before you go! Autostraddle runs on the reader support of our AF+ Members. If this article meant something to you today — if it informed you or made you smile or feel seen, will you consider joining AF and supporting the people who make this queer media site possible?
Stef Rubino is a writer, community organizer, and student of abolition from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. They teach Literature and writing to high schoolers and to people who are currently incarcerated, and they’re the fat half of the arts and culture podcast Fat Guy, Jacked Guy. You can find them on Twitter (unfortunately).
A+ members are the reason Autostraddle’s made it through the past year and a half. A+ starts at just $4 a month, and it works because over 6,400 people have joined. Plus you’ll get bonus content! Over 386 people have become A+ members during our drive and we have just 2 days left! Will you join them?
