(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) West High School students chant “trans youth are valid!” as they wave a transgender flag during a staged walkout on Wednesday, April 6, 2022 to protest HB11, which bans transgender girls from participating in female school sports. A judge granted a preliminary injunction, stopping the ban from being enforced, on Friday, Aug. 19, 2022.
