About Lauren
As Co-Executive Director for the LGB Courage Coalition, Lauren is pivotal in mobilizing volunteers and orchestrating powerful direct actions. Much of her vital work occurs behind the scenes, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of volunteers’ efforts for maximum impact. The LGB Courage Coalition is a U.S.-based registered non-profit, passionately committed to reforming culture and medicine to embrace and support gender non-conformity without any medical intervention.
Lauren leverages her platform as a voice in the conversation, having been interviewed on and leading podcasts that delve into the complexities of medical transitions and their specific harms to the lesbian and gay community. Her strategic actions have made a significant impact, notably directing protests at the 2024 Endocrine Society Conference in Boston, MA, and the 2024 American Academy of Pediatrics Conference in Orlando, Florida. She also led a crucial action at the U.S. Supreme Court during the US v Skrmetti hearing in December 2024.

platypus writes satire, speculative fiction, and cultural criticism with a sharp eye for the gap between what people perform and what they actually practice. Her work swings between darkly comic takedowns of gendered power fantasies and earnest, richly built worlds where matriarchy isn't a costume drama but a living system—always circling the question of whose stories get centered and why. She draws from years spent in the messy, under-resourced, quietly radical spaces of feminist organizing, and from a lineage of hereditary witchcraft that informs both her craft and her convictions. She refuses to choose between humor and sincerity as tools for getting at the truth, and she takes out the trash without being asked.

Over 60% of girls who complete the DemocraShe program go into a civil position, a policy program, or into brute politics. 60% is wild success!! Some start their own programs with funding they secure from the UN or the Obama Foundation. This is working. DemocraShe is making change in, by, and for women.
See Youth Policy Makers of Tomorrow just for one example! https://www.instagram.com/youthpolicymakersfortomorrow/

For those interested, Thursday, the 25th of June, our Soul Craft Circle on the Medusa Rising Discord channel will focus on the ways we can do the re-programming work to move ourselves out of a place of judgement - whether of ourselves or of others - and heal together so we can be a greater force of good in the world. If you happen to be a paying subscriber, you already have access to that support! If you would like to become a paying member and get that perk (plus LOTS more), you can join us here.

Our bodies are us, and our bodies are for us. Feminists, being women, are not one kind of woman, not one style, not one kind of body, not one kind of experience. We are each ourselves. Feels obvious, but in the movement, there can be a flattening, a narrowing, as in any other social formation. Our liberation, though, that has to come to be experienced in and each woman herself.
