Why I do what I do

Talking with a student today

Student: "Mrs. E, do you know about Transgender people?"

Me: "Well I'm cis myself, but I have friends who are Trans or Genderqueer. Any special reason you asked?"

Student: "Because that's what's going on with me."

SO glad I was in the right place at the right time.
At least now this kid (MtF) knows she has an ally.

That's fantastic! It's great that you were there and said the right things without even thinking about it to let her know she's got a safe place/person to talk to.
