Male teacher at my son's nursery?

Please be kind guys!

My son is 3 and half he's started nursery September just gone, he had 4 female amazing teachers and I've found out today he will be having a male teacher.
I really really really struggle with men, I know this is due to all the trauma I've experienced in my life, sexual, physical, emotional. Throughout childhood and adulthood.

I have an amazing husband. He's the only man I trust, I've never left my dad with my kids, I've never left a man alone in the room with them if I'm not there. This is not to bash men because I know all men arnt the same but all the men who have been close to me in my life have abused me in 1 way or another and even strange men.

My son is only at nursery 3 hours a day.

This may just be a normal nice man trying to progress in him job and I feel bad for thinking like this, but it's consumed my whole entire day and obviously now I'm worrying about his future going to school and stuff, I don't know what to do, how to overcome this trauma I've got and how to not push it on to my son either.

I’m not sure how I’d feel about my DC havibg a male Nursery Worker but it’s irrelevant. What matters is that you’re uncomfortable and you’ve experienced trauma. He’s only 3 i would move him if you’re worried.

if your son is settled at nursery I wouldn’t move him because of this. Maybe have a word with the nursery manager as they may be able to reassure you regarding safeguards. E.g staff are never alone one on one with a child etc.
