LOL ! I agree with psychologist in this case. For a transition such as this, parents should be involved- the youth need support. To assume the parents will be bigoted and not supportive is ...wild.[/quote]

If FOX news is for that it has to be pure evil. [/quote]

The students ask us not to tell. I figure they hear their parents and dare not share that part of themselves.

And we’re talking about part-time social transitioning. No teacher is giving hormone injections or performing top surgery during their planning periods. Not to be little the positive effects of social transition on trans youth’s mental health, but teachers have called students by a preferred name rather than a legal name for decades, if not centuries. Even when the student changes the nickname two or three times in the school year (start the year as Beth and end as Liz, for example). We are used to it. We’re also accustomed to not batting an eye over the outfits they change into at school. Only pronouns are new and most of us don’t care what pronoun your kid uses. There’s no study showing it harms academic performance or mental health to use a preferred pronoun. [/quote]
