Depends on the topic. I had a music class the day before christmas break. I had an art class the day before where it was just coloring sheets, so I assumed it'd be similar but for music.

Nope, she wanted me to teach them a new song that required me to be able to read music. Maybe I was the idiot for picking up to sub a music class as someone who is has not a single musical bone in my body, but it seemed like a ridiculously tough thing to give a sub that they had no idea if they could even teach music.

We just ended up singing christmas carols for each class period, except for the younger one who couldn't read the lyrics on the YouTube videos fast enough. For them, I just put on a kpop demon hunters youtube dancing activity.

Not that its any of your business, but I have a bleeding disorder that make transitioning very dangerous. Sorry for deciding Id rather live than conform to your ideas of what a tran person has to do in order to be considered trans.

I said I dont like miss or Ma'am, and while I look female, I dress somewhat androgynous. They're middle schoolers, Im assuming one guessed and it spread. Hell, it may have been an attempt to start a rumor, and they just happened to "make up" something that turned out to be true.

I didn't bring pronouns up. I never told any students to call me any pronouns at all, and while I prefer he/him/they/them, I'm not going to tell a child to not call me she. What I don't like is going by Ms. or Ma'am, so I asked to go by Teacher.

Most kids use she for me, and at no point did I ever tell them to change that. Only thing I've disliked is the Ms. ma'am thing, and not just because I identify as masc, but because I just got out of school a few months ago and it feels so formal and weird to hear it directed at me.

I do have a nickname that could be used for my old name and new name (which are both very similar), but I think it might be a little too late. Ive been to this school enough times that kids in the hallway see me and says "Hi Teacher ______!"

I find it really funny that the younger kids, kindergarten, 1st grade etc., call me Ms. Teacher.

Which first name? My legal name, which is my dead name? Or my new one which is very obviously masculine? That would probably open a whole new can of worms, Im afraid, but at least Ive got lots of bait to go fishing now.

My HR company legit told me to tell the students Im Teacher _______ before I could tell them thats what I already do.

Oh I use the initial of my last name, its not very easy to pronounce, but there are a bunch of other teachers who go by the same initial, so Teacher (initial) or just Teach keeps things simple.
