She is the author of the award-winning Histories of the Transgender Child (University of Minnesota Press), the first book to shatter the widespread myth that transgender children are a brand new generation in the 21st century. Jules has also written for The New York Times, CNN, The New Inquiry, and The Funambulist, and has been interviewed extensively by The Guardian, CBS, NPR, and Xtra. She serves as a General Co-Editor at TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly.

He holds a Master’s degree in Ethics and Applied Philosophy and a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from UNC-Charlotte. Ash is currently Project Nia’s Decriminalizing Abortion resident.
