I was tasked with taking my grandchildren's friend, a 12-year-old trans male, to the airport. This was his first time flying, he was stressed about having to use his deadname that was on the birth certificate, but he was mostly concerned because he had to change planes in Houston. He said, "I'm scared to be in a state where it's illegal to be trans." 😪 All this just to say that I understand the assignment.
