Eli Erlick (born July 10, 1995) is an American transgender activist, writer, public speaker, and director of Trans Student Educational Resources.[1][2] [3]

Personal life

Eli Erlick was born on 10 July 1995. Her parents met while protesting, which she cites as a reason behind her community work.[4] She reported telling her rural community members she was a girl at age 8, leading her to become a victim of assault, isolation, and violence. At age 13, she transitioned to female. She quickly became present in media through legal advocacy and co-founding the organization Trans Student Educational Resources at age 16.[5] In 2013, she reported she was attending Pitzer College in Claremont, California.[6] Erlick is openly queer.[7]

Activism

Erlick cited intersectional feminism as an influence on her activism. While advocating for comprehensive admissions rules for trans students at women's colleges, she spoke about the importance of remaining critical of all policy work.[8][9] In 2015, Erlick published an article on why equality should not be the goal of the transgender movement.[10] For her activism, Erlick has been recognized in Teen Vogue, Refinery29, and The Advocate among other publications.[11][12][13]

Trans Student Educational Resources

In 2011,[1] Erlick co-founded Trans Student Educational Resources, an organization "dedicated to intersectionally transforming the educational environment for trans and gender nonconforming students through advocacy and empowerment."[14] According to Erlick, TSER is best known for its media work and youth activist training. She is currently the director of the organization.[3][15]

Academic Contributions

Erlick has published numerous scholarly articles and model policies focusing on transgender populations.[16][17][18] In 2017, Glamour Magazine named her College Woman of the Year, the first trans woman to receive the honor in its 60-year history.[19] She has stated she hopes to teach gender studies.[20]
