Idk what grade you’re teaching but I had a trans professor in college and she was amazing. She was positive and comfortable, for sure, but she was also angry and sad. She loved herself purely but hated how society treated her. For me, it was very healing to see that the two could coexist. But, again, I was 21. A 15 year old might not vibe w it lmao

There’s some interesting trans studies literature that relates to this if you’re interested! Sounds more like you just need to express some feelings tho so lmk

I’m sorry, I’m high 😭 I can try again tomorrow but basically it was amazing to me to see someone love themselves fully and still hate the way they were being treated. Like, I’d lowkey blamed my transness for why I was being hated but she helped me realize I could love myself and love my transness and the blame should solely be placed on transphobes

yeah i definitely don’t pretend everything is perfect bc it is really beneficial for kids to see a successful trans person balance those struggles but like . my mental health has been in the gutter for a decade now and my students are all 16-17, i fear they can tell 😭
