school experiences for trans folks

Ya know, in the 50's it woulda been a big ole hoopla. The closest I ever came to even hinting at possibly being different was when I announced, at around the age of 6 or 7, that I was NOT having kids, ever! Which I did not. I did however realize in about 1st grade that something was very different for me. I wasn't like the other kids and I knew it.

It took me 50+ years to do something about it.... times, they are very different now!

Many kudos to your daughter!!
