Sage Blair, a Virginia teenager, was invited by former President Donald Trump as a special guest to the 2026 State of the Union address. Blair and her mother, Michelle, are involved in a legal case alleging that a school counselor allowed Sage, then 14, to use male names and pronouns at school without parental notification, which the counselor's legal team denies. The family claims this led to Blair running away and experiencing abuse. The case has sparked discussions on parental rights and school policies.
