| Abstract: | Using intersectional feminism and narrative inquiry, this paper reflects on a qualitative case study where a trauma text was taught in high school English for the purposes of analyzing students' responses. One gender-fluid participant provided particularly compelling insights and so this project revisits their data. They demonstrate that their lived experience as a gender-fluid youth in school informed their authoring of themselves as a 'diversity worker' and/or 'equity person' (Ahmed, 2017), which overall, resulted in allyship and accomplice work that benefited the school. Because self-defined identities are important (Zamani-Gallaher, 2017) and there is a lack of studies that attend to trans spectrum students' positive experiences in school (Bartholomaeus & Riggs, 2017), this paper aims to address this gap.
