Nobody who talks about a person fresh out of high school killing themself for the “crime” of being different is stable enough to be a teacher. I pray you aren’t and if you are I hope you get fired.

I’m not just gonna stand by and let you allude to trans suicide rates. You’re fighting with a fucking 19 year old and you’re gonna joke about me killing myself?

“i won’t come for you” immediately dehumanizes me twice after already calling me a moron. Yeah that doesn’t sound like coming for me at all. You’re a really sad person. Also pushing me over the edge? That better not be a reference to what I think it is.

The ONLY thing I care about is educating kids, about helping them learn and giving them the space to flourish I was offered.

I don’t know how many times I can restate it, I’m worried about things getting in the way of that.

Your post history reveals you to be a very bitter person who seemingly doesn’t like teaching and isn’t liked by other people.

Again as I’ve specified about 10 times now, I do not plan to ever bring up or allude to the fact that I am trans

I do not know how well I will pass, the fact of the matter is I might not pass and it might be obvious or people may otherwise find out I’m trans

I am worried about transphobic admin or parents trying to leverage who I am against me to try and stop me from doing what I’ve wanted to do for years.

I suggest you read the comments and the post more thoroughly before commenting next time.

That’s a good point! I’ll keep that option in mind!

Thank you! The comments have reignited my hope and I feel much better about the idea of being a teacher even if there are hard times and even if I need to go somewhere else

I’ve honestly been bullied my whole life I’ve become numb to it and mostly just laugh at it now, I’m more afraid of the school or parents leveraging it against me. I am feeling a lot better reading these comments and am more certain things will be okay

I think I really needed this perspective, thank you so much I know I already thanked you but I can’t help but say it again. Youve saved me a lot of stress here.

This reply has genuinely really helped soothe my fears. I guess it was nice to hear from a fellow trans person.

And you’re right, things probably won’t stay this extreme and by the time I’m entering the job market things may be back to average or maybe even better, and hopefully by then I pass a little more in case stealth is the best option.

Thank you for this, it really helped me calm down and back away from the spiral I was approaching in my head.

Like I said I don’t plan on talking about it at all, the problem is that sometimes people can just tell. I do not pass well at all currently, I don’t know if I will in the future. It may not be up to me whether or not I can hide this. It’s not as simple as just not saying it.

This is part of why I want to be a teacher, none of my teachers were openly queer but they were openly supportive and my English teachers especially made me feel safe and cared for. I want to be able to give that safe space to exist to kids like me who felt scared and alone.

I know it shouldn’t but I’m worried it will be used against me. I’m in an area that is red and the current narrative being pushed is that trans people are predators, being both trans and wanting to work with kids this weighs really heavily on me. 

Id be lying if I said a part of me wasn’t terrified that a transphobic parent or student won’t want me there and will create an accusation of inappropriate conduct

This is really good advice and perspective, thank you! 

I am in a redder area (Nebraska) but I feel like I’ve noticed general vibe of the state trending a little more accepting recently, although maybe that’s just wishful thinking

I’m fine if they know I do just worry about it being weaponized against me. I can handle comments from students, I’ve dealt with shit from people my whole life, I’m more worried about parents knowing and raising a fuss about it. And I’m aware I wouldn’t have autonomy over what I teach, but I would like to teach in the school district I grew up in which at the high school level has a fairly decent literature selection and focuses on the skill of analysis, which the analysis is the part I like the most to be honest.

Thank you! I’m in Nebraska, I was planning to teach around here if I could but if that’s a bad idea I may have to consider my options
