batou: This is Kim Zuluaga. A 18 years old trans girl from my city, Medellín (Colombia). When she was seventeen, it was the first day of another year of school and she attended to it with the uniform that girls use (The bottom picture is the actual picture of the first day of school) her appearance shocked a lot of students and caused polemic in the school’s council , after all of this the director of the school told Kim that she needed to follow the norm and she should go with the boys’ uniform to study, she refused to do that therefore she had to quit school. After that she put a tutelage asking the court of justice to make the school change it’s opinion and let her go to school with the girls uniform, sadly the court didn’t go on her favour and she lost the tutelage. Even though it was a big punch she didnt give up and she made an appeal to the court & after a year she won. Even though she won’t go back to this highschool this was a big step towards acceptance for the LGBTQIA community in Colombia. There’s still a long path to walk but with more people like this young girl that path won’t be hard. -- source link
