I think you absolutely deserve to be boosted. I consider you one of the best writers on this platform.

I have still never been boosted. I don't know quite what to think of that. I don't think I'm the world's best writer, but I do consider myself a good writer. I've been diligently working on my craft my entire life. I'm not sure what Medium is looking for that I'm not delivering.

When I first started writing here, it took three months before I was "curated" and then pretty much everything was curated. I'm unclear what the difference is between "curated" and "boosted," but I honestly thought some of my work would be chosen. It hasn't been. I'm really glad to see this particular piece met with their approval. I've wondered if they now favor the self-help, wellness, buy-my-course sort of thing.

But congratulations. I hope they boost your trans piece, too.
