WHEREAS, Adelyn Vigil has distinguished herself through her
exceptional work as an advocate for the transgender youth community
in Texas; and
WHEREAS, A clear and thoughtful communicator with maturity
beyond her 13 years, Adelyn has testified before committees in the
Texas House of Representatives and Texas Senate; she and her family
have spent countless hours at the State Capitol in order to help
legislators and the public understand the needs of transgender
youth and their parents; in addition, she has raised awareness on a
national level by sharing her story with such media outlets as Teen
Vogue and CBS, explaining how policies and prejudices have
interfered with her daily life at school and hindered her ability to
participate in sports and other activities; and
WHEREAS, Adelyn is the daughter of proud parents Adamalis
Vigil and Antonio Vigil Jr., and she is further supported by the
love and encouragement of an older brother, Antonio, and a younger
brother, Allek, as well as a large extended family; kind and
studious, she loves taking care of her animals, reading, cooking,
and shopping with her mom; her interest in astronomy may guide her
career choice one day, though her determination to make a positive
difference may lead her to become a civil rights attorney or elected
official; and
WHEREAS, By courageously speaking out on urgent legislative
issues, Adelyn Vigil has helped ensure that the voices of
transgender students will not be silenced, and she is a source of
inspiration to numerous people in the Lone Star State and beyond;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend Adelyn Vigil for
her advocacy in behalf of the transgender youth community in Texas
and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success in her
important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Adelyn Vigil as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
