“Schools in California, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Texas, and even Virginia have recently seen shining moments of trans inclusion. While the school year doesn’t present many opportunities for an institution to actively demonstrate its commitment to trans equality, after being voted onto the court by their classmates, the royal students themselves often walk away from the moment inspired to keep working for the rights and visibility of LGBT people.

While some may argue that homecoming courts (and for the sake of this list, a couple prom courts) are an outmoded tradition based on gender roles, they clearly also have the ability to affirm trans students’ genders, rally a community of supportive youth, and highlight the accomplishments of young trans women and men.”
