"I've seen a lot of trans and non-binary students gain confidence after confiding in me and after having a trusted adult affirm and support them," the teacher said. Cogdill explained that for the past seven years when meeting new students during the beginning of the year "I introduce and explain my identity."  Cogdill's identity is complicated as it comprises multiple non-binary identities. "I identify as non-binary, meaning I don't identify as a man or a woman. I identify with the terms genderfluid and genderqueer because I'm somewhat masculine and somewhat feminine," the teacher said.  A new wrinkle has been added to the ongoing battle regarding gender transitions for minors, as a group "dedicated to the health of all children" declared anyone under 18 doesn’t have the agency to decide they want a tattoo but approves of "gender-affirming care."  (iStock) "The pronouns they mostly affirm me are ze/zir or they/them or he/him.

I also go by Theo, which is affirming because my masculinity is not always recognized by other people." |
