Gender dysphoria: A study conducted by Cedars-Sinai in which adult transgender individuals were surveyed found that most transgender individuals experienced gender dysphoria in their developmental years. Lake Stevens School District Policy 5590 aims to make transgender youth comfortable and safe at school. “It's probably going to ruffle some feathers and cause some waves in our community, and I would say that based on the response to our last policy five years ago, I think our district is ready for this,” counselor Angelia Riebli said.

Worth the cost? Senior Emily Fenner found a therapist online but felt the treatment wasn’t worth the high price. Fenner had a difficult time finding quality therapy for a sustainable cost. “I think that the amount of money it takes just to see if you're okay is kind of stupid because sometimes you get a really good therapist for a really high cost or a really bad therapist for a really high cost. You never know which one you're gonna end up with. Plus if you don't have that insurance or that backup you're just out of luck. It's really sad,” Fenner said.
