Eleven-year-old Alison Sirivanchai, who is transgender, has found herself at the center of conflict in her Utah school district. Some parents are demanding she use a different bathroom, and the topic was a point of contention at a recent school district meeting. “When my loving mom first curled my hair, and I looked in the mirror, I wanted to cry because I saw not the person I was supposed to be but the person I am,” Alison said when it was her turn to speak at the meeting. “Because when I imagine myself as a grown human, I see a woman dancing in a white dress through a meadow of flowers, and when I see that, I know that’s who I am.” #schooldebate #bathroomdebate #transyouth NewsNation is your source for fact-based, unbiased news for all America.
