Today, the United States Supreme Court ruled against a sixteen-year-old girl named Becky Pepper-Jackson. She spent five years fighting for the right to compete on her school’s girls’ track team as a transgender athlete. Six justices said no. I lost at that same court twenty-six years ago, in a gay rights case I brought against the Boy Scouts after they expelled me.

I have something to tell her.

Dear Becky,

Three weeks ago, I watched you walk off a stage at the Lambda Legal National Liberty Awards, and I thought: she already knows who she is. That’s the hardest thing. Most people spend their whole lives trying to figure it out. You’re sixteen, and you’ve got it.

I introduced myself to you and your mom outside afterward. I told you I was proud of you and that I believed in you. I meant it then. I mean it more today.

I don’t know what it’s like to be transgender. I don’t know what it’s like to be as young as you are right now, fighting something this big in front of the whole country.

What I do know is what it feels like to lose at the Supreme Court, because I lived it. On June 28, 2000, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against me in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale. Five justices said yes to discrimination. Four said no. Lambda Legal had fought alongside me for ten years, all the way to that building, and then we lost. They’re in your corner today, too.

I was a little late for Idira's week as part of #character_weekRT
