It was very surreal,&#8221; Michele Blair, mother of Sage Blair, said Wednesday as she reflected on the president\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n<p>Sage was recognized as one of Trump&#8217;s guests during his address to Congress, where he detailed her story before a national audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The president said Sage was 14 when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/controversies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">school officials in Virginia<\/a> &#8220;sought to socially transition her to a new gender,&#8221; treating her as a boy and allegedly hiding it from her parents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/new-details-emerge-about-california-high-school-trans-athlete-saga-suddenly-being-probed-trump-admin\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NEW DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL TRANS ATHLETE SAGA SUDDENLY BEING PROBED BY THE TRUMP ADMIN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump described how Sage ran away from home, was placed in an all-boys state facility after a ruling from a judge and was later returned to her family. He praised her resilience, calling her &#8220;a proud and wonderful young woman&#8221; who now has a full scholarship to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/education\/college\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liberty University<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m just so grateful that a light has been shown on this dark topic because it\u2019s happening to so many children like Sage,&#8221; Blair told Carley Shimkus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They [the school] glorified the fact that\u2026 she wanted to identify as a boy, and she was being horribly bullied\u2026 Had things been different, and they called me and brought me in and told me about the bullying, I could have saved her a lifetime of nightmares,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Vernadette Broyles alleged that after running away, Sage was sex trafficked across multiple states before being recovered by law enforcement in Texas and later transferred to Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a nightmare that\u2026 I don&#8217;t know if she&#8217;ll ever get beyond,&#8221;
