This book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand the experience of trans athletes, and specifically Black trans athletes. CeCé’s story made me angry, it made me sad, but she also gave me hope and reminded me why we fight.
ID: text that reads “I’ve been in headlines across the United States and across the world, I’ve been named personally in anti-trans legislation. I’ve been honored by top LGBTQ organizations, I’ve been painted as a hero, as a villain, as a symbol, as a representative for an issue that has taken center stage in the culture wars. But when people are busy turning you into a symbol, they forget what you really are: a human being. A person with needs and desires, fears and hopes just like everyone else. At the end of the day, I’m just a girl with a dream. A girl with so much love in her heart. And all I want, all I’ve ever wanted, is the freedom to run.” -CeCé Telfer, Make It Count
