Trans Activist Dresses Up as Miss Rachel to Talk to Kids About Being Transgender and Changing Their Names
EXCERPT:
UNKNOWN PERSON: “I want you to imagine that everyone keeps telling you that you're something else, even though in your heart you know who you are. Wouldn't that make you sad inside? People who feel like this are transgender. And if you're not transgender, it's super easy to be friends with someone who is. Let's take our imaginary friend Theo for example. One day you notice that Theo starts wearing girl clothes instead of boy clothes and then they tell you that they want to be called Luna instead of Theo. This is so exciting for our friend Luna, because they finally get to be their true self. And if you accidentally call Luna by their old name, make sure to say a big sorry and that you'll do better next time. As you can see, transgender people are just like you and me. They're our friends.”
