At a Transgender Health Symposium Wednesday at the Jefferson School in Charlottesville, a doctor discussed the struggles transgender children face. “They go to school and they don't use the bathroom all day. Or they are afraid to go in the bathroom or if they go in the bathroom they may be physically assaulted, or if they are using a stall, patients tell me that people throw things at them, make comments to them, bang on the door,” said Nancy McLaren of UVA Children’s Hospital.
