In the years that followed, Erlick has been at the forefront of transgender justice through her writing, organizing, and speaking tours, where she discusses LGBTQ+ issues, transgender youth, and social movements.

After obtaining her Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2023, Erlick continued to be a public face of the fight for gender-affirming care in the United States. Her work and writing have been featured in hundreds of outlets including The New York Times, Time Magazine, and The Washington Post. These accomplishments gained recognition from dozens of institutions around the world. Refinery29 named her their youngest “30 Under 30” awardee for her activism. Teen Vogue later named her “The New Face of Feminism,” as a young woman working to improve the lives of trans people everywhere. She also became the first trans woman named Glamour Magazine’s College Woman of the Year in 2017. Erlick currently resides in New York City and continues to pave the way for future generations to fight for their truths.
