Ella se sintió cautivada al leer, en cada página, sus historias, sus textos, sus poemas; al mirarlo inspirado en su buhardilla, entregado a las letras, donde flotaba el perfume de la tinta y del papel; al saber que él se sumergía en las profundidades de su ser, hasta que llegaba a paraísos sublimes e infiernos insospechados, de donde regresaba con fórmulas e ideas geniales. Era un hombre apasionado, detallista, educado y ocurrente, entregado fielmente a su pasión, a su encomienda, a su delirio, a sus motivos, al arte. Lo admiraba demasiado y se sentía enamorada de él.

Trans girl misses Mississippi graduation after being told to dress like boy | AP News

A transgender girl in Mississippi is not participating in her high school graduation because school officials told her to dress like a boy and a federal judge did not block the officials’ decision. That’s according to Linda Morris of the American Civil Liberties Union, an attorney for the girl’s family. The girl had chosen a dress to wear with her cap and gown Saturday at Harrison Central High School in Gulfport. Graduating boys are expected to wear white shirts and black slacks, while girls are expected to wear white dresses. U.S. District Judge Taylor McNeel ruled late Friday that he won’t block school officials’ decision about the dress code.
