A Cis Teen Called Out a Transphobic Politician on Trans Sports
So recently a high schooler, Anelise Feldman, on a race she lost to a trans girl, saying she doesn’t feel anything was stolen from her.
‘The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me.’
But she didn’t stop there.
‘Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.’
The . Her state has been standing its ground against Trump in a battle over trans sports and Libby herself has felt the need to critique that fight. She’s even managed to post a picture of a teen trans girl to her Facebook account, resulting in her losing her ability to vote on bills.
Anelise Feldman is a high school freshman.
And she summed up this whole culture war up pretty well when she called Rep. Libby a bully using children to score political points.
