[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at all for elementary.

Fine with older students if it is post transition.

Not okay in any age group pre or during transition.

This is me as well. The conversation to explain this to my six year old is too mature for her age bracket. Rather than confuse her, which would be unfair to her impressionable mind, I'd rather the transgendered teacher (presumably a mature adult, as opposed to an immature child) have some empathy and respect, and stay away from young children.[/quote]

How about "do you know how you look like a girl and know you are a girl?  Well some people who look like a girl are born feeling like they are a boy (or who look like a boy are born feeling like they are a girl.  Mr. X was born like that, so he dresses like a girl so how he looks on the outside matches how he feels on the inside.  Everyone is different and that's ok."  I had to have this conversation  my kids because one of the kids we know is transgender.  I told them we should accept people with the differences because we all or different in our own way.  It's not been an issue since then.  It doesn't even come up.  Kids are more accepting of differences and only become judgmental when they are taught by our society to be that way.[/quote]
