A huge part of the american trans population that's often overlooked are trans teenagers. many of them are homeless, and those are not the people who are necessarily going in for a custom suit. but that's one of the reasons why we were excited that we got to do a contest with hbo to sponsor a young person getting a suit made who might not have the means to do it on their own.

More From Lena Dunham

I think artists are going to express things from an emotional point of view, that's their job, to suggest and interpret, and report what they witness. that's their job as artists, you're looking for the rub, where's the rub, you're a storyteller, you're looking for the rub, not necessarily the solutions, or you're not necessarily educated, you're not the winner of a debate contest, a national debate contest, you're not necessarily a person who has a doctorate in anything.

We had so many milestones in america. we were on our way to universal healthcare. we had gay marriage. we were talking about gender fluidity and trans issues openly and discussing them with respect. it was almost to the point where educating people about transgender rights wasn't an issue. we were including trans people as a normal part of our conversations instead of seeing their presence as this shocking thing to the system. we forgot that those things can be taken away from you because there are people in the world that, for whatever f - king reason, can't live and let live.

Chronically homeless means constantly homeless; it means repeatedly homeless.

The lesson here is very simple. but it is striking how often it is overlooked. we are so caught in the myths of the best and the brightest and the self-made that we think outliers spring naturally from the earth. we look at the young bill gates and marvel that our world allowed that thirteen-year-old to become a fabulously successful entrepreneur. but that's the wrong lesson. our world only allowed one thirteen-year-old unlimited access to a time sharing terminal in 1968. if a million teenagers had been given the same opportunity, how many more microsofts would we have today?

Solving the population problem is not going to solve the problems of racism, of sexism, of religious intolerance, of war, of gross economic inequality. but if you don't solve the population problem, you're not going to solve any of those problems. whatever problem you're interested in, you're not going to solve it unless you also solve the population problem. whatever your cause, it's a lost cause without population control.

Every one of us needs a home. the world needs a home. there are so many young people who are homeless. they may have a building to live in, but they are homeless in their hearts. that is why the most important practice of our time is to give each person a home.
