Transgender Power Couple
Reed stops and raises a small Pride flag. Zephyr cups her hands together in a heart over her chest in appreciation. Zephyr, a transgender state lawmaker, later gives a speech to hundreds attending the event. Tears well in people's eyes as they speak with the couple afterward.“I feel like it makes us as a generation feel represented when we have people like her in power and up there giving very inspirational, motivational words of wisdom,” says Scarborough, 20.
Largely unknown just a few months ago, the two women now rate among the most prominent figures in the world of LGBTQ+ advocacy. They've appeared at dozens of events, including the GLAAD Media Awards in New York City in May. People lined up to meet them after speaking in Florida, Ohio and Los Angeles, and even recognized them during their recent trip to Glacier National Park. Documentary film crews follow them around.
Reed watched it all unfold from her home in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where she has cemented herself as one of the nation's leading independent researchers monitoring the. In that role, she is a frequent recipient of online vitriol and both women have experienced"swatting" attempts, in which someone made a false report to law enforcement to try to draw armed officers to their homes.
