Bebe Scarpi, the only transgender high school principal in America, was our guest lecturer last Tuesday for the class “Policing Same Sex Desires.”
“I’ve never identified myself as transgender,” she said. “I prefer drag queen. I’ve always been a ‘she’ and always will be.”
Scarpi has no problem telling you straight up what she thinks. After years of fighting for gay rights – as the founding president of the Gay Community at Queens College and founding board member of the National Gay Task Force, to name just a few accomplishments – she is still fighting as she speaks with a voice that you can’t help but tune in to.
