After Ella and I interviewed with @LindseyBeckham, Ella made this video because she couldn’t stop thinking about what girls in California were being forced to face.
She didn’t think anyone would notice.
She just wanted the girls competing against AB Hernandez to know that teenage girls all the way from Wisconsin had their backs.
This is the good side of X.
A regular girl used her voice, and it made a difference.
I remember exactly how it felt realizing girls were being told to stay silent and accept things that were clearly unfair.
When my high school let boys use the girls bathrooms, I went through shock, denial, fear, anger, and eventually determination. That determination turned into action, because I knew staying quiet would never protect girls like me.
