Teen boys in the locker room

I came from an athletic family, so that wasn't a surprise. When we are growing up, trans people like me learn early on how to play the roles expected of us. When I see whole states and individual school districts suing for the right to force young trans people into the locker rooms of their assigned birth genders, my heart breaks. I barely made it through high school locker rooms and I was closeted. Threatening trans kids into using the incorrect locker rooms sets them up for a lifetime of toxic gender perceptions and pain. I spent my own teenage years struggling with gender dysphoria, which is the clinical term for the feeling that many trans people experience of having a body that is incongruent with their inner sense of their own gender.

Little boys who want to play sports cross their hairless fingers and hope that puberty will do them some favors. They wait for their adult bodies to surface and, when that process begins, they look down on their broad chests or disproportionate feet or curling pubes, sizing up their own potential. No one is more body conscious than a middle school point guard looking for signs of hope in a locker room mirror. From the perspective of the boy white-knuckling his terrycloth and praying for his pecs to swell, this locker room agitator is to be envied and feared. He models a sexual confidence and social swagger to which most boys can only aspire. He also inevitably spotlights the silent majority, who would prefer to wait quietly in the dark for the hormonal tide to come in, forcing them to act casual, demanding that they play along. My casual act was thin to the point of transparency.
