Sarah McBride, from trans White
House intern to queer teen activist
Gender affirming hormone therapy
now available in

f | 1 hough she was 10 years old the first
time she heard the word "transgen-
JL der/' Sarah McBride knew from an
early age that she was really a girl. Prob-
lem was, everyone around her saw her as
a boy, and she didn't want to disillusion
them because she didn't want to disap-
point them.
So McBride tamped down a feeling akin
to homesickness inside herself and she
tried to be a boy by dating girls, joining a
fraternity in college and generally doing
"guy" things ... all of which felt wrong. It
wasn't until the end of her time as student
body president at American University
that she took the leap and came out public-
ly as a woman.
It was a relief, she says, and though there
was some initial shock, her friends and
family never stopped loving her. For that,
she acknowledges her fortune; a high per-
centage of her LGBTQ peers aren't so lucky
Not long after this major life-changer,
McBride was accepted for a dream-come-
true job, landing an internship at the
Obama White House. She'd been fascinat-
ed by politics since she was small and was
a campaign volunteer in her home state of
Delaware. Starting in the Office of Public
Engagement, she was quickly engaged;
activism, as McBride learned, was some-
thing she could sink her teeth into, as a
trans woman.

Happier than
she'd ever been, Mc-
Bride's life contin-
ued to rise: she fell
in love with Andy,
whom she'd met at
a party, though she
didn't see him again
until he emailed her
months later. He
was trans, too — a
homegrown Wiscon-
sin boy with a sense of humor, and she
adored him. The future was bright. And
then things changed again.
There's a message inside Tomorrow Will
Be Different, and it's not the activism one
that you think is there. There's no denying
that McBride is an activist and she's been a
big part in making change, not only at the
state level, but nationally She's a histo-
ry-maker. A shaker. But this book isn't just
about that.
Oh-so-subtly, McBride makes readers'
brains itch. LGBTQ teens can be fragile,
and you'll watch closer after reading this
book. Healthcare isn't just an issue for the
middle-class, and you'll understand better
now. Politics isn't just something to rant
about, and in the midst of all this, believe
it or not, you may be better off than you
think you are. This book forces a different
way of looking at things, but you might
not initially notice that as you're crying
over the rest of this memoir.
So bring tissues while you read and let
your brain itch. Let Tomorrow Will Be Dif-
ferent sink in because things can always be
better than they seem. ■
