Who is Ben Greene?

Ben speaking on the Kelly Clarkson Show!

That’s me! I am a transgender advocate, author and public speaker who has spoken internationally on topics surrounding transgender inclusion. After coming out at 15 in a small town, I have devoted my career to spreading empathy, education, and storytelling around the trans experience, and have spoken for companies, hospitals, schools, religious organizations, and government entities sharing what it means to be transgender and how to show up as an ally.

I am also a political organizer and community advocate in St. Louis, Missouri, and I work tirelessly to defend transgender youth and their families from attacks at the Missouri state capitol. I’m also the author of the book "My Child is Trans, Now What? A Joy Centered Approach to Support".

My book, public speaking, and newsletter all reflect one of my most important values: Choosing to find and build joy every single day.
