Word getting out

Pretty much no adult I know really thinks TWAW. A few teens who think it's not very kind, though they are worried about sport and think it's ridiculous to have to remember pronouns amongst those who pick something not obvious or common.

I spoke to a teacher yesterday about one of our students. I spoke about my fears that children are being lied to, that they think you can change sex with a few operations. The other teacher said she was really glad to hear my comments as she didn't like to say her opinions without knowing how others feel.

Standard secondary school, at least 4 girls are trans. I don't know what advice they are getting, we have had no training/advice on the matter.

It's all so secret. Yesterday I read a meme on FB about LGBT in schools and the majority of the posters on the thread were like Yay!!! But one person said he was beginning to feel uncomfortable, gave his reasons, and apologised if he'd offended anybody. And they all jumped on him to "correct" him. He apologised again. I liked his comment (along with two others) but said nothing. But I had such a bad conscience that this morning I went back, dug up his comment, sent him a friend request, and a message of support as well as a bit of info about the T part of those lessons.
I feel that every single person who comes out with doubts needs support. That's how this works: one person at a time.

Wel done!

We need a secret handshake.

I'm going to keep talking about it though. Maybe just not to her unless she brings it up first.

I don't know, I discussed with my most "TRA" friend and ended up getting hung up on. What annoyed me so much was when I was trying to discuss why I feel so strongly about this and asked her if she'd ever been sexually assaulted and she said "well yeah but it's just lads, lads, lads" as if it was nothing.

She thinks she's a feminist but clearly hadn't changed since our teenage years when she told me to stop complaining about some guy fingering me without my consent because that's just what happens on a night out!! She sees and understands the safety concerns women have but chooses to priorities the feelings of men and acts like she's the progressive one and I'm the bigot who will eventually realise she's "on the wrong side of history".

It's just misogyny pure and simple. I did not feel good after that conversation.

Well done you. In real life most people, given the space and privacy to be honest, are thinking wtf in my experience.
