The Department of Women's and Gender Studies at Rutgers University is offering a course called "Politicizing Beyonce." Kevin Allred, a doctoral student who is teaching the class, tells the university's online news site that he is using her career as a way to explore American race, gender and sexual politics. The class supplements an analysis of her videos and lyrics with readings from Black feminists. (Photo by Dan Steinberg/Invision/AP, FIle)

Madison West High School junior Ayden Prehara,16, makes his way through the halls of the Madison, Wis. school between classes on Jan. 15, 2014. Prehara, 16, is a transgender student, having transitioned from female to male at age 14. This June, Ayden and his parents will travel to Cleveland for what, in the transgender community, is called "top surgery." His breasts will be flattened and his chest contoured to be more typically male. He will be 17 by then, about the earliest surgeons will do such surgery. Until then, he wears an undergarment called a binder that evens out his chest. The family is setting aside about $10,000 for the surgery, which includes a week or so in a Cleveland hotel during recovery, said Chris Prehara. Insurance does not cover any of it, she said.
