Excerpt:

Saro is fortunate to attend Wakefield High School, where even though
schoolmates might gossip about him for his manner or his mode of dress
(which includes items of female clothing), harassment and bullying are
not tolerated. That is the policy all around; it's not restricted to
gay kids, nor does it exclude gay kids from its protection.

The school carries its policy through to the logical conclusions that
some people fear, but that others embrace as a necessity for true
acceptance and equality--right up to providing a restroom for the
school's transgendered students.
