I love it when we get to hear from young people about what's going on in their own lives. Too often, the voices of those most impacted by youth issues are ignored in favor of adults. So I was glad to read the words of a 10-year-old trans girl in England who returned to school this year presenting her actual gender.
The girl's mom told the Worcester News (in an article unfortunately trapped in the "trapped in the wrong body" frame, but which does keep the girl's identity anonymous) that the school administration has been supportive of letting her daughter present as a girl, but some parents have walked by them muttering, "That's that freak family. That's that freak child."
