"These young people are having such a consequential, positive impact on how the country and the world actually understands and appreciates that transgender and nonbinary kids are just like all other kids," co-founder and executive director Jen Grosshandler says. "If you got to do what I do, if you got to spend your days in the presence of these young people, you would feel so positive, so optimistic, so empowered."
"We're thriving in our communities. I think so much of the narrative isn't around that," Rebekah, one of The GenderCool Project teens interviewed for the cover story, says. "We don't think about being trans every second of every day. We don't think about being LGBTQ every single second. We're just kids, and we just want to have fun. We want to play on our sports teams. We want to get involved with school activities."
