Soon, I thank you for bringing up points like this. This is exactly why I wanted to bring this to our forums. I need feedback not just from the trans folks, but also in regard to my daughter's role as the teacher. I see your point of view, Soon, as well as Dylan's. In fact, my kid and I have talked about how she has already felt concern about another child because it would mean talking to a parent who had already shown anger when they were called about their child. (not Randy, a different child with different issues)
I did long term subsituting in NY for a high school level vocational school. I had two classrooms...one for behaviorally challenged kids in a community work program, and another academic one for adolescent sexual predators. I was also a teacher's aide in NH for DD kids. I LOVED working with these kids, all of them. I wish I had been a teacher instead of a counselor now. (And I have too maimed to go back and get that degree) I commend the teachers of today...they have so many things to consider when they are working with their classrooms...

P.S. I'm sure the child has already informed the parents. If the parents were cool, they'd have already started the hoopla
P.P.S. We can agree to disagree though
