We need to fight back against these anti-trans laws, but we also need to build forward with our own vision.
On May 22, after months of planning, 50 young people from 18 states, their parents and guardians, and 50 trans adults from across the country came together outside at the United States Capitol to throw the first-ever Trans Prom of its kind.
Other kids traveled from school districts where they have been navigating bullying for years, hoping just to survive while somehow still holding on to their light, their sparkle. Whatever else they were dealing with in this hostile world, this day was for them in all their resplendent magic. For the youth, the day offered a reprieve from the constant vigilance of having to explain and defend themselves.
Even as the world has become so terrifyingly fixated on trans lives, we have made progress. These young people are a testament to that.
