It's interesting that as an adult educator transitioning on the job isn't an issue but I think those that do transition and are teachers for children face far more judgement of their "skill/ability" than adult educators. I think there is some kind of mythos where people believe the negative hype around trans individuals (e.g., mentally unstable, deviants, etc.)
They cannot see the separation of personal life from professional life in a school system. What is interesting about ENDA is that it does allow various institutions to be exempt (which will mean if your faith doesn't support LGBTQ individuals, you may not want to come out to them and, in fact, find work elsewhere if possible).
Good luck on Tuesday.
