Happy birthday Jos!

We told you the Feministing birthdays just keep coming this week!

Yesterday, my co-Executive Director Jos Truitt celebrated hers.

Since she joined the Feministing crew in 2009, Jos has not only been tirelessly covering trans issues but also pushing the feminist movement’s gender analysis forward–from calling for a nuanced theory of gendered violence to a trans-inclusive way of talking about abortion politics.

Happy Birthday Jos!

I recently wrote about how amazing Jos is when we announced her promotion to editor at Feministing–but I can’t really say enough about how awesome, supportive and lovely Jos is. I just spent the last two weeks hanging out with Jos in the Bay Area (her new home) and even though she can’t drive or use a GPS (we took a road trip together. we are alive. that is all.)–she is one of the most real, supportive and caring people ever.
