Would saying I'm transgender be a hook for HYPS?

You know, AA may seem unfair, but we should understand that most URMs just did not have the chances their white peers did at being taught from an early age an expansive vocab, worldly knowledge, etc… it’s a viscous cycle of how being an URM gives you very little opportunity in most areas due to institutionalized racism. Yes, kids should be getting admitted based on merit, but much of the potential a lot of URMs have are squandered due to circumstances insinuated by race. If we allow them into top schools, their chances at having that knowledge have been increased dramatically, therefore having the ability to teach their future URM children everything they’ve learned at Yale, Harvard, etc… not to mention prestige overshadows a lot of bias a prospective employer might have due to race, expanding their financial opportunities, thus breaking the aforementioned cycle.
