Transgender teen voted prom queen at Renton HS

For Brooklynn Buenaventura it was about dressing up as her "true self."

"I'm not hiding anything, anymore," Buenaventura said.

Buenaventura was born in a male body "my birth name is actually Bruce, like Bruce Jenner" Buenaventura said. Just like Jenner, Brooklynn is in the process of transitioning.

===============

Yay for her! And her peers for voting for her!
...I think for most of us it is a futile effort to try and put this genie back in the bottle once she has tasted freedom...

Good for her! Wonderful story!
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Very happy for her, though I long for the day when everyone will assume that trans people can do anything anyone else can, and it will no longer be world news when a trans girl does something that thousands of cis girls do every year.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
