"Sure I've had my ups and downs, my fights with some, my praise from others, but with the support of my family and friends, I have realized anything is possible. Being a transgender prom queen IS possible. Being happy IS possible. And acceptance for all is MORE than possible."
....
Sounds like an amazing young woman.

TRENTON, Ont. — A transgender student says being named prom queen was the cherry on top of her high school education.
"I was really surprised," Connor Ferguson, an 18-year-old male-to-female transgender student at Trenton High School, said of the win. "It was pretty surreal actually. If I remember correctly my jaw hit the floor and we all started laughing because it was so crazy. I walked up and the crown didn't fit my hair, so I had to hold it."

Happy for her, I guess, but it does make me wonder. If a transgender person at my school won prom queen, I'd assume it was some sort of cruel joke.
