Hello! My name is Dylan Rodriguez, and I am a trans teen. My school has not yet given me permission to use the boys restroom, despite discussing it with me. I've realized that a lot of schools do not even discuss this issue with their trans students as my school has. This has affected me more than I thought. Due to the dysphoria of using the female restroom, I don't even want to go to school anymore.

Many other trans students feel the same way I do. I understand that other students are not comfortable or okay with this. However, as a trans kid, I can say that the only reason for me to use the restroom is to pee, not to look at other boy's private areas. I want to make it legal for transgender students all across America to be able to use the bathroom they are most comfortable with.

What is in my pants is not your concern, but my own.
