I write with respect and admiration for Anelise Feldman, the high school track athlete who articulately addressed what it is actually like to be a teammate of the transgender student that censured Rep. Laurel Libby felt compelled to name in a Facebook post.

Ms. Feldman’s letter to the editor on May 14 displayed maturity and an understanding of basic humanity that will take her far in life. She is a role model.
