“I’m a human being.”
Cassidy Lynn Campbell, the 16-year-old transgender girl who won homecoming queen at her high school last week, released an incredibly upsetting video over the weekend.
In the video, Cassidy breaks down and expresses how tired she is "of feeling worthless" and how she thought that winning homecoming would be the happiest moment of her life.
i am usually a very strong and confident person, but i have my moments too. although there was alot was positive feedback, there was alot of negative too, and the negative affected me more than it ever has before. i recorded this because i didnt know how else to vent, i didnt want to talk to anybody.
In the video she talks about her experience going through the running for homecoming queen and how happy she thought she'd be once she won.
