Sixteen-year-old Gavin Grimm describes himself as a "very private person." When he's not in class, he enjoys playing video games, reading books, going to Wal-Mart, and whatever else counts as entertainment in the part of rural Virginia he calls "the sticks."
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Grimm, a junior at Gloucester High School, is more than a bit uncomfortable with being at the center of a national debate about whether transgender people like himself should be allowed to use the restroom of their choice.
=======================
This young man will go down in history as one of the heroes of transgender rights. Shows that seemingly ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference.
