[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does everyone feel about having a transgendered formerly male teacher in elementary school?  DC law would encourage their hiring, however, I would like to know how parents feel about this honestly.  I have very mixed feelings.  On the one hand, given that students themselves may be confronting and dealing with such issues or may help kids who have a parent that is going through transition, even at an early age, it could be important to have a role model that has been through this sort of thing.  Then again, I think it might also bring alot of questions and confusion to kids at an early age before they're ready to deal with this. [/quote]

I would have no issue with this, my primary focus would be on whether she is a good teacher for my child.

Then again, I am one of those transgender "former males" myself.

And as someone who has had some anxiety about how I, my family and most of all my child will be received upon starting in DCPS because of my life history: thank you for giving me hope, 90%+ of the posters in this thread.
