10 Transgender and Gender Fluid Youth Who Are Working to Change the World<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

Over the past several years, more and more young transgender people are coming out and sharing their stories publicly. These brave young people are becoming advocates for change across the country. Young transgender people from all walks of life are making a lasting impact towards achieving full transgender equality in our nation — even if some of these remarkable trail blazers aren\u2019t old enough to legally drive or vote.<\/p>\n

Transgender young people face significant discrimination and bullying. Last year, North Carolina adopted the infamous HB2<\/a>, legislation that required discrimination against transgender people, including in public schools. Several states<\/a>, including Texas<\/a>, are currently considering similar bills. Seventy-five percent<\/a> of transgender students report feeling unsafe in school, and, tragically, more than 50 percent<\/a> of transgender youth report attempting suicide at least once in their lifetime.<\/p>\n

Despite these odds, transgender young people are making history for all the right reasons using their own unique stories and backgrounds, they all are working the same goal: ensuring that transgender people everywhere are treated with the same rights and protections as everyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Gavin Grimm,\u00a0Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gavin Grimm, a transgender boy<\/a> and only a senior in high school, has become a leader in the transgender movement. Grimm filed suit against the school board <\/a>alleging the district violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 by denying him use of the boy<\/a>\u2019s restroom. The Supreme Court\u2019s decision in this case will have far-reaching consequences for tens of thousands of transgender students across the nation. Yesterday, dozens of major companies have join the cause in supporting Grimm\u2019s case<\/a> in a historic Amicus Brief announced this week.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Marci\u00a0Owens,\u00a0Washington<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nearly seven years ago, when former President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law — making healthcare accessible and affordable for millions of Americans, especially for the transgender community — standing next to him was 11-year-old Marcelas Owens, a \u201cminiature health care activist<\/a>.\u201d Years later, Owens came out as transgender in her late teens<\/a>. Now that Owens has publicly come out as transgender, she hopes to share her passion and journey with others. \u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Lucas Segal,\u00a0Arkansas<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Lucas Segal, growing up in a conservative town in Arkansas was a painful experience, especially knowing that he was transgender. In fact, aside from the taunts and bullying he endured, Segal described those \u201cpainful and stressful\u201d moments didn\u2019t compare to the anguish he felt when he needed to use his high school restroom<\/a>. However, he turned his pain into power and in recognition for his advocacy work, Segal won a trip to San Diego through the Students Taking Action with Recognition competition<\/a>. Segal is also among HRC Foundation\u2019s Youth Ambassadors. <\/a><\/p>\n

5. Rebekah\u00a0Bruesehoff, New Jersey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rebekah might be the youngest transgender activist on our list, but her activism for equal rights is already making a big splash on social media. A photo of Rebekah holding up a sign quickly went viral earlier this week. Her mom, Jamie Bruesehoff, told The Huffington Post <\/em>that her daughter came out publicly when she was 8 years old <\/a>and has since began using her voice and her story to help others understand the hardships the transgender community faces.<\/p>\n

Social media star and one of HRC\u2019s Youth ambassadors, 16-year-old Brendan Jordan\u2019s stardom began with a viral video<\/a> of him dancing behind a local reporter during a live<\/a> news report. Jordan\u2019s coming out video<\/a> went viral in 2014, and has inspired LGBTQ youth around the world. He has advocated against drug use through SoCrush, appeared in advertisements for American Apparel and participated in Miley Cyrus\u2019s #InstaPride campaign. At HRC\u2019s third annual Time to THRIVE Conference<\/a> for LGBTQ youth in February 2016, Brendan came out as identifying as both male<\/a> and female<\/a>, and using both pronouns \u201che\u201d and \u201cshe.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m still figuring it out. I\u2019m starting to identify as one or as part of the trans<\/a> community,\u201d Jordan said to the crowd<\/a>. While Jordan admitted that being a teenager and dealing with bullying can be tough, his shared this advice to young people, \u201cBe true to yourself and don\u2019t care about anything anyone else says about you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Trinity Neal,\u00a0Delaware<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trinity Neal was only two-years-old when she started expressing her true self. Now 12, she tells Essence<\/em> that she wants to help other transgender children in coming out<\/a>. \u201cThey don\u2019t need to hide all the time. I had to tell my parents, and they could do the same thing\u2026 I want to change the world by making it much more friendly for trans<\/a> people.\u201d Trinity isn\u2019t the only one in her family to be a fierce advocate for the transgender community, her mother, DeShanna is a member of HRC\u2019s Parents for Transgender Equality Council<\/a>. The Council is some of the nation\u2019s leading parent-advocates working for equality and fairness for transgender people.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Avery Jackson,\u00a0Missouri<\/strong><\/p>\n

Avery Jackson made history in 2016, becoming the first transgender girl<\/a> to appear on the cover of National Geographic<\/a> and sparking a national conversation about gender identity. \u201cThe best thing about being a girl<\/a> is, now I don\u2019t have to pretend to be a boy<\/a>,\u201d Avery said in a quote on the cover. Avery\u2019s mother, Debi Jackson, was the subject of one of HRC\u2019s\u00a0Moms for Transgender Equality<\/a> videos<\/a> and is a member of HRC\u2019s groundbreaking Parents for Transgender Equality Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Grace Dolan-Sandrino,\u00a0Washington, D.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 16, Grace Dolan-Sandrino\u2019s personal story of overcoming adversity during her transition in high school propelled her to advocate on behalf of other transgender students going through the same hardships. After getting involved in HRC\u2019s Welcoming Schools program<\/a>, which helps make schools more inclusive for LGBTQ students, she got a call<\/a> from the White House. In 2015, she attended a meeting of transgender and other nonconforming students that would help inform the office’s policy under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972<\/a>. “It was very empowering and amazing to be involved,” she\u00a0told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>. “It made me feel like I was not only helping other kids but also that my opinion, my life, and my education mattered.”<\/p>\n

Most recently, Dolan-Sandrino spoke out against President Trump\u2019s actions to dismantle protections for transgender students during HRC\u2019s Facebook live event<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

10. Nicole Maines,\u00a0Maine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nicole Maines made history in early 2014 when a judge ruled that she had the right to use the restroom of the gender she identified with, marking a major victory for transgender rights and the first time a state court ruled it unlawful to deny transgender students access to the bathroom. Since then, their family\u2019s story has been brought to life on a national scale in the bestselling book Becoming Nicole – The Transformation of An American Family<\/em><\/a>, written by Pulitzer Prize author Amy Ellis Nutt. Maines\u2019 father, Wayne Maines, was the subject of one of HRC\u2019s Dads for Transgender Equality<\/a> videos<\/a> and is a member of HRC\u2019s groundbreaking Parents for Transgender Equality Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In September, HRC partnered with the <\/em>American Academy of Pediatrics<\/em><\/a> and the <\/em>American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians<\/em><\/a> to release <\/em>Supporting and Caring for Transgender Children<\/em><\/a>, a guide explaining what experts know about supporting our youngest transgender and gender-expansive kids, especially those in elementary school.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2015, HRC partnered with the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Gender Spectrum, the ACLU and the National Education Association on <\/em>Schools in Transition<\/em><\/a>, a groundbreaking guide for K-12 administrators, teachers and parents. The guide describes the legal landscape for transgender students, discusses crucial policies that affect students\u2019 daily experiences, and offers advice for working with families who aren\u2019t yet supportive of their child\u2019s identity.<\/em><\/p>\n
