Epic Heroes Fight Bias

Misgendering

Epic Heroes Fight Bias: Kids are talking in the hallway, “You would think she’d try to pass” Other kid adds, She should look like a guy right? Trans boy replies, “Hey, it’s rude to deny someone’s identity.” My identity, like many others, isn’t solely based on looks, just because we don’t pass doesn’t change how we identify. The Boy responds “You’re right! I shouldn't deny someone’s Identity based on looks. I can stand up for myself when faced with exclusion.

Description:

Boy misgenders a transgender person for not "passing" and the transgender person stands up for themself.

Social Justice Standard: Identity

I am concerned about how people (including myself) are treated and feel for people when they are excluded or mistreated because of their identities.
