Transgender Cheerleaders at Oswald

 Mikaela Colberry is having a dilemma with her father, David Colberry.  David Colberry, like his daughter, was a student at Oswald High School around twenty years ago.  At the time, Oswald demographics were almost 100% white and Christian.  Over the years, quite a lot has changed since the day's David grew up in Oswald, Florida.  Oracle built a major office in a nearby town.  As a result, many engineers and high-net worth people who worked for Oracle moved into Oswald.  Many from liberal states that David despises.  In addition, as Haitians, Colombian Americans, and Asian Americans moved up the economic ladder many moved into Oswald.  In just 20 years a super conservative town that was almost 100% white is now less than 50% white.  

The people who have lived in Oswald for over 20 years are not happy with the change of character of our city.  Diversity in Oswald has created a deep division in our town.  Yet, what has really rubbed under the skin of David Colberry is that his daughter, Mikaela, now is on the same cheerleading team as a transgender woman, Leslie Atterburgh.

Cheerleading at Oswald has always had men and women on the same cheerleading team.  OHS cheerleading team is 20% male.  Yet, for some reason, David Colberry, has been motivated to run for mayor of Oswald.  One of his major campaign issues is to ban transgenders on the OHS cheerleading squad.

Mikaela is really unhappy with her dad running for mayor.  It has made her the topic of countless gossip at Oswald.  Originally, Mikaela, agreed with her father that transgender people should not be on the OHS cheer squad.  Mikaela never expressed anger towards her transgender teammate.  This is because she was good friends with the transgender athletes sister, Rosanna Atterburgh.  Had it not been through Rosanna's efforts to create an emotional understanding and connection with Leslie's gender identification.  Mikaela would probably despise Leslie for her gender identification.

Yet, it is moment like this that is creating tension for the mainly conservative older population of Oswald.  They are seeing people like Mikaela becoming friends with transgender people.  As Oswald becomes more diverse the children of conservative adults are becoming more liberal than their parents.
