The event, titled Creating Inclusive and Nondiscriminatory School Environments for LGBTQI+ Students, was closed to the press. However, video of the seminar has emerged, which also involved officials from the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Civil Rights, and the Centers for Disease Control.

It featured a thirteen year old trans identifying child named 'Hildy Edwards' imploring "please just let [my generation] access their health care that they need, because I just started estrogen and I have never felt even more like a woman if I'm being honest."

The student, who claims to have been trans since the age of five, continued "Like I feel so womanly, and I feel so much more like myself and it just feels so good. I have never been happier."

The eighth-grader also admitted reporting other classmates for 'dead-naming' and 'misgendering'.

"I have had to report people at school a lot more than I would have wanted to this year for multiple reasons, like dead-naming, misgendering, slurs," the student said, adding "But the time that I did get dead-named, I was literally like freaking out. I was like 'how? I haven't told anyone my dead-name since like five-years-old ever since I first transitioned."

"A day later [the principal] was like '[the student] confessed, he was very sorry' blah blah blah, 'he will get lunch detention," the trans student continued, adding "And I was like yes. I feel heard. He is getting punished. Sucker. When you mess with me, you have to pay."

Another trans student on the panel celebrated feeling "affirmed" when an Alabama school principal checked whether their gender transition should be kept a secret from their parents.
