But the fact that we did not settle this while Gavin was still in school will be like an asterisk on his graduation. He won't be able to remember his high school experience the way his classmates will, but he doesn't think about that. Instead, he thinks about all the trans kids still out there who are being treated as less than everyone else. Gavin knows that this fight is about much more than him, just as it is about much more than restrooms. It's about dignity and respect.
