[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry your son is going through this. Unfortunately from my experience, it seems like even supposedly supportive schools still have bullying.

I am going to guess your son is on the spectrum, has mental health disorders or is quirky/been having social issues for quite sometime? Being Trans won’t solve those underlying issues. Being trans won’t make kids won’t make other kids not see those underlying issues.

From my experience, trans kids who face most bullying are those who are on the spectrum/are quirky and don’t have social skills to fit in. [b]They are getting bullied due to lack of social skills and general quirkiness.[/b] The bullying comes out as trans insults though. But I’ve noticed the trans kid who have good enough social skills aren’t getting bullied for being trans.

Make sure you are working on his social skills even if he moves schools. Doesn’t WJ have a 2e program? That could be an option for high school but is there a middle school with a similar program?[/quote]

No. They are getting bullied because of their peers' refusal/inability to accept different social skills. It's not autistic kids' fault that they are bullied.[/quote]

+100 I have a gender diverse kid who has not experienced bullying and has a robust social life, but one of the things that makes them well-liked is that they don't carry around ableist, bullying, attitudes like the PP's. [/quote]

I think you confused yourself. Are you saying OP's kid is getting bullied for being ableist? [/quote]

No, I'm saying PP is a bully for blaming autistic kids for getting bullied. That's the sort of attitude that gets you ostracized nowadays. [/quote]
