California Teen Is the First Transgender Student on Her High School's Cheerleading Squad

"Anry Fuentes has always wanted to be a cheerleader – and when she made varsity, she also made history as the squad's first transgender student.

"When I was first trying out for the cheer squad, I wasn't like, 'I'm going to be the first transgender girl,' " the 17-year-old tells PEOPLE. "I was just trying out because I wanted to be a cheerleader, and I wanted to dance and cheer." "

The article didn't mention the help from students (and faculty?) raising the $600 to buy her uniforms.  I hadn't heard she and her mom were trying to put things back together and let's hope that goes well for both of them.  Beautiful young lady.
