Black Friday + Indie Media Monday Sale!
Building what we need, supporting each other through it: big discounts and little changes at Well Beings News

In just a few days, independent media outlets across the internet are celebrating Indie Media Monday—a recognition that quality journalism doesn't come from corporate conglomerates, it comes from people who care working hard to make information available to those who need it.
That’s something we have in common.
For Black Friday (and Indie Media Monday), through Monday, December 2nd:
Lifetime subscriptions are 60% off ($596 $239)
Annual Professional membership is 20% off ($150 $120/year)
This is also your last chance to subscribe on a monthly plan.
Starting in early December, I'm eliminating the monthly subscription option. I’m also shelving the Community Membership—at least until Well Beings News generates enough revenue that I can pay myself for the 20+ hours a week I spend on this work. My goal is reach 100 Professional Members who can sustain this work we are doing together.
If you're an LGBTQ+ person who cannot afford a Professional subscription, I'm making community memberships available by request on a pay-what-you-can basis. Reach out.

I love this work. I love interviewing healthcare providers who are doing extraordinary things, even under impossible circumstances. I love talking to researchers who are producing evidence that saves lives or changes minds. I especially love hearing from the people I interview about how much they appreciate what I'm doing, how important this work is, how desperately we need it right now.
But love doesn't pay the bills. I believe wholeheartedly in this project, and I have some big plans in 2026 for collaborations, new subscriber drives, new research and possible sponsorship. I want to simplify things here as much as possible, so I can continue to focus on delightful interviews, deep dive reporting, and creating new resources.
You already know why. I don't need to remind you that we're living through a coordinated assault on transgender healthcare access. Someone needs to deliver the queer trans research, policy analysis, and clinical guidance that healthcare providers and wellness professionals need.
I'm that someone. But I can't keep doing it for free.

If Well Beings News has been valuable to your practice, your research, your education or your advocacy:
We build what we need to survive. And I am building a media company for LGBTQ+ professional and allies, to help queer trans people live the healthy, happy lives we deserve.
