Sasha Fleischman, the Oakland teen burned in November while riding a city transit bus, is ready to return to school after facing three surgeries.
SFGate reports:
Fleischman came home Wednesday from a San Francisco hospital burn unit after recovering there from second- and third-degree burns suffered when a 16-year-old boy set the teen's skirt ablaze on Nov. 4 while Fleischman was sleeping on an AC Transit bus in Oakland. Fleischman – who was named Luke at birth but now goes by Sasha – identifies as agender, neither female nor male, and police say the attack was at least partially motivated by homophobia.
Fleischman, who wears a skirt, is glad the crime has brought attention to those who identify as agender.
