Jazz Jenning shares the highlights and lowlights of growing up transgender. She is a pretty confident young woman who has struggled with discrimination in sports, prejudice and bullying by non-understanding people, and risen to a place where she just wants to advocate for trans people, or more truthfully, all people - to be happy. She wants people to be able to live their fullest lives and to grow on their own terms. Here is her story.
This week is Banned and Challenged Book week (September, 27 - October 3). Of the ten most Challenged books of 2019, 8 of them were challenged due to LGBTQ content. The truth is that books are both mirrors (in which people can see themselves) and windows (which offer a peek into someone else's life). Being Jazz promotes understanding for transfolx looking within and others trying to understand.
