From "Thousands Rally in Brooklyn to Protest ‘State of Emergency’ for Trans Youth" by Michael Gold, 2021-06-13, NYT:

"We're Black and trans, and I would've liked more protecting as a child," said Wes Garlington, 25, of Brownsville, Brooklyn, who attended the rally with their partner. "So we came out to show support."

In state legislatures across the country, Republican lawmakers have introduced bills to limit the participation of transgender children in sports and hinder their access to gender-affirming or transition-related medical care. At least 10 have been signed into law this year.

Schuyler Bailar, who competed on a Division I college swim team as an openly transgender man, said that the flurry of legislation was exhausting and disheartening.

"Trans youth absolutely deserve to play sports just like I did, just like I do," said Mr. Bailar, who described himself as a queer Korean American transgender man of color. "Trans kids deserve that space."
