Transgender Teachers Speak Out on What They Need From School Leaders
Education Week ^ | 11/11/19 | Mafeline Will

Schools can be an unwelcoming, isolating place for transgender teachers, between the male- and female-assigned restrooms and the layers of red tape when it comes to changing personal information in data systems.

Yet educators say there are steps that school leaders can take to make transgender teachers feel more included. Sam Long, a high school biology teacher who is transgender, produced a video on the five best practices to support and learn from trans educators.

They don’t. There is no such thing as a transgender person, just a man or woman pretending to be the opposite sex.

Yes you are correct, and when I taught (math) I kept my personal likes and dislikes to myself. And this is exactly what teachers who believe they have more in common with the opposite sex should do. This is the wrong time and place to believe you are meant to role model yourself.

Teach and help students learn — the subject you were contracted to teach.
I cannot imagine “transgender behavior” would be on any public school syllabus, college classes maybe excepted from this statement, as I was referring only to high school.

Get rid of the perverts, they are mental deviates.

Here's a thought: don't expect to be viewed as normal.

Normal is a word with a specific, limited range of meaning.

If you're outside the "norm," deal with it and stop trying to change the 99.6% of others.

OK.

"Men or women who pretend to be the opposite sex" teachers should not exist.

I truly don’t understand this. The schools are just about the most liberal, “welcoming” and “inclusive” of institutions in our society. Transgender teachers feel unwelcome, when the schools have done so much to be “non discriminatory” on all these LGBT issues?????

Maybe it's the kids that grate on the freaks. Kids don't have much of a filter. I know I didn't/still don't.

They need a padded room. These are not normal or healthy people and should not be anywhere around kids.

This is from 6 years ago and was prophetic back then. We’ve rapidly devolved to that point. It’s here.

“trans”lation - there is nothing at all wrong with a so-called “transgender” person, it is only society that is “wrong”.

Why should an unwillingness to be “welcoming” to an errant mental obsession be considered wrong in any sense.

The “gender affirming” health care so-called “transgender” persons need is mental health care that helps them affirm the bilogical sex that they are.

After years of arguing the opposite, I’d say that schools are definitely not for the kids. They should be educated someplace else. Public schools truly need to be avoided.

The numbers of trans people in the US is very small according to the U.S. Census. I accept that the self-reporting function may be less than optimal for a true number due to the hesitancy of trans folk to “out” themselves.

However, it seems strange that the issue is so hot in virtually every part of U.S. life and culture.
