want all transgender students treated with “respect, compassion, and dignity.” As long as they jump through onerous hoops to have their pronouns or name formally recognized, disregard any student or teacher who doesn’t accept their gender identity and know that if they have yet to open up to their parents about their gender identity, a teacher might just do it for them.
