She's needs to get out of hick Miss. and come to a place like Atlanta and start breathing.

I think it would be just as bad if she was less than attractive and had been a troublemaker for her whole school life. The school is there for all of the students. That's why there are laws about individualized education for everyone. Their bigotry is deplorable because of who they are, not because of who she is.

I was thinking about the invisibility that the school forced on Ceara. At least she on her own agenda wore the clothes that made her comfortable and stated who she was. I say good for her. I also think about when I was in high school and my senior portrait. At the time I wasn't out as transgendered, so I played it there way. I did the feminine thing, make-up, long hair and a "drape" they used to expose the shoulders. It was like a dress. Anyway, I hated that picture and it was the one put in the yearbook. It also graces my parents home. I see it as the girl they never got, because they got me instead. I hate to see that picture even to this day. Because that is not me, it is someone I was pretending to be. I think that in itself is a sort of invisibility, that is to conform to the status quo.
