Amethysta Herrick, Ph.D.

Writer, Podcaster, and Transgender Activist

Amethysta Herrick, Ph.D. (Ami for short) is a transgender author, podcaster, and activist. Her works focuses on the origin and nature of identity, especially gender.

Ami has been a geneticist, a chemist, a software engineer, and a manager, but her greatest challenge to date is taking on the entrenched fallacy that identity and gender are of concern only to the LGBTQ community. Instead, she teaches that identity and gender are ongoing processes with which every human must engage throughout life.
