"… nothing can do more to normalize the face of transgender America than the sight of a 7-year-old (boy or girl?) with pink cheeks and a red balloon puppy in hand saying to Brandon, as one did at the conference:
‘Are you transgender?’
‘What’s that?’ Brandon asked.
‘A boy who wants to be a girl.’
‘Yeah. Can I see your balloon?’"
