“I had previously tried to take my life. And then I realized that I only live once and I should live in a life that I’m truly happy living and I should be my authentic self without fear of anything else,” Hernandez said. “I’m so extremely grateful. I’m so happy in my own skin. I find myself loving every part of myself more and more every day.
“I want basic human rights and respect,” Hernandez said. “I’m tired of being treated like I’m othered or alien. I have human emotions. I live and breathe the same air, and it’s unfair that people like me have to continue to face this oppression.”Hernandez testified in front of the state school board during a meeting in whichpreviously stripped references to learning about LGBTQ history in state social studies standards.
“They say we’re too young to understand what we want, but I just wish they could see the struggles like the harassment, all of the hurtful and awful things and the everyday living that comes with being queer and trans,” Caudill, of Denver, said. “People aren’t seeking that kind of negative attention. They’re just being who they are.”
