Source Summary

I’d like to introduce you to a 16 year old high school student who I’m going to refer to as “Jane Doe.” I’m calling her “Jane” because, after an ex-gay organization orchestrated an international smear campaign against her, numerous individuals have stated that she should be beaten and killed. Jane recently moved to a small Colorado town with her two moms. Jane transitioned from male to female two years ago with the blessing of her therapist. In October 2011, Jane came out to her parents. “I think it was difficult for her. She had known for a long time, but she didn’t know how to come out with it,” said her mother. “When she came out, it was hard. You go for all these years calling her your son and then it changes; you have to get to know the new person she is.” Jane Doe, July 13, 2012 After

Interpretive context

Why this article may matter

Community significance

“Family of Colorado trans kid targeted by harassment hoax speaks up” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to education and youth, while also engaging law and civil rights. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.

Historical significance

The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning education and youth. Published in 2013 by Transadvocate.com, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how law and civil rights was framed at that moment.

Policy significance

The article’s strongest policy connection is public accommodations and facilities and civil rights and anti-discrimination. It links that institutional frame to education and youth and law and civil rights, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
