Eleven-year-old Alison Sirivanchai likes what she sees in the mirror when she puts on a flowy dress or after her mother curls her hair. It’s how she sees herself when she imagines her future, and the news of her identity as transgender came as no surprise to her parents. However, this sixth-grader has found herself at the center of conflict in her Utah school district. After previously being allowed to use the girls’ bathroom, the topic became a point of contention at the recent Jordan School District meeting, with some parents demanding she use a different bathroom. Footage of Alison’s speech to the board is getting viral in which she is asking for nothing more but peace.
