My seven-year-old transgender son told me several months ago that he wants to be like Martin when he grows up. You know, the one who had a dream. I told my son I didn't know he was on a first name basis with the great Dr. King. I asked him to go on and he explained that he heard the speech about being free and equal. And he wants to be like that. To be like Martin. I don't think my son realizes what he's getting into with that career path. My son does not yet know the full extent of the discrimination he will face. He is too busy being happy and being a child.
