L.B.

Bio

L.B. is a transgender student from Harrison County, Mississippi. In May of 2023, she was told by her school district that she would not be allowed to attend graduation unless she wore so-called "boy's clothes." The school district's decision was upheld following a lawsuit brought by the ACLU and ACLU of Mississippi. Since then, L.B. has vowed to continue fighting for transgender rights in Mississippi and beyond.
