finalist for Time’s Kid of the Year.Kai Shappley of Austin testified before a Texas Senate committee last April when two bills banning gender-affirming care for young people were under consideration; one would even have classified providing such care as child abuse.“I love ballet, math, science, and geology,” she told the committee by way of introduction. “I spend my free time with my cats, chickens, FaceTiming my friends, and dreaming of when I finally get to meet Dolly Parton.
