A new study finds that face-to-face conversations about transgender issues tends to reduce prejudice, and an 8-year-old transgender girl in Kansas may have found the perfect conversation piece.

Avery Jackson has become the face of a campaign to buy a house right across the street from the Wesboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., and paint it light blue, pink, and white the colors of the transgender flag. The effort has some questioning the wisdom of allowing a child to step up to the front lines of a turbulent culture war, while others say that Avery is one brave girl, with inspiringly supportive parents, to be willing to add to a conversation that aims to further understanding and acceptance.
