Hi fred. Firstly, thank you for this post. I think it’s great that you are actively trying to gain a better understanding for the benefit of your students. I wish I had a teacher like you in my school. Obviously times have changed since I was in school and although I’m from the UK (school system is a little different here), one thing that would be helped would be been a teacher who simply understood what it was I was going through. Having that person who understands is a vital part in not making any of your trans students feel alone. Being trans can be a very isolating experience. I’m sorry but I can’t offer anything’s useful than that I’m afraid, having only recently accepted myself as trans myself.
