One November afternoon in 2013, Sasha Fleischman boarded the 57 bus home from school in Oakland California. Sasha, a high school senior at the time, identified as agender and enjoyed wearing skirts. Then, one member of a group of three teenaged boys took a lighter and set their skirt on fire. Their lives were both changed forever in a matter of seconds.
