Kylar Broadus is the first openly transgender person to testify before the Senate. He is a sought-after public speaker with an expertise in policy, transgender equality, and racial justice.
Dr. Broadus gave a fantastic overview of the broad umbrella that defines the transgender community to my human sexuality class. He helped us to recognize the complex array of political and advocacy issues faced by the community. My students commented that they really enjoyed his humor and candid way of sharing his story. For most students, he is the first transgender person they have ever known. I’m grateful for his tireless advocacy and willingness to educate people from all walks of life.
As one of the most experienced and respected litigators, thinkers, and strategists in the LGBT movement, Kylar is a true powerhouse. Throughout his career, Kylar has continually developed cutting edge strategies to protect transgender people, worked to raise the visibility and leadership of transgender people of color, and demonstrated unfailing collegiality and collaboration. He is a great leader.
