Instead of using binary language like "girls versus boys" when splitting into teams, try using inclusive language such as "party people," "everyone," "humans," "y'all," "friends," or "family." Consider the intersections of gender, race, and sexual orientation, especially when working with young people developing their identities. As educators, we should prepare ourselves to be responsive to our students' developmental stages and growing identities, particularly when teaching literature. Expect pushback when challenging the status quo with equitable practices and policies. This resistance indicates that you are making progress in shifting established norms.

I made pronoun bracelets to represent different pronouns. Green and blue for he/him, pink and purple for she/her, and yellow and orange for they/them. Wearing one bracelet indicates my pronoun choice, wearing multiple shows a combination. Today, I wear all three bracelets as my pronoun preference changed.

The speaker, a trans educator, states that they are teaching pride in their fifth-grade classroom during June. The curriculum includes Blue's Clues Pride, queer portraits, the pride flag, banned books, and queer icons. Students are also learning how to create social media posts related to these topics. The speaker emphasizes the importance of continued learning and understanding, especially at the end of the school year. The main takeaway is a quote from Miss Major Griffin Gracie: "We're all part of one another." The speaker wants people to understand each other as human beings and focus on similarities rather than differences. Resources such as ebooks, slides, and lessons are available in their bio.

Teacher Darren's pronouns are z, zer, zer, zerz, and zerself, and they identify as gender neutral, neither female nor male. Students should refer to them as Teacher Darren, without "mister" or "missus." While Teacher Darren can be pretty or handsome, they are not a lady. A student questioned why they have to learn this, and Teacher Darren responded that the world is changing. A student stated that not the whole world is like this, and Teacher Darren suggested starting in the classroom. Another student asked if they could use "she, her" pronouns when talking to their parents about Teacher Darren, but Teacher Darren said no, and suggested the student educate their parents. A student stated that their parents might get angry and confront Teacher Darren, but Teacher Darren dismissed this concern, stating that these are their pronouns and that's the way the world is working. Another student asked if this was part of the curriculum, but the response was cut off.

My pronouns are they/them, but for this meeting, I'm sharing that I use she/they/him. This often leads to complex discussions about gender, which we don't typically have. I once asked my father, "Do you know what it means to be a man?" He said no. Then, "Do you know what it means to be a woman?" Again, he said no. And that's where I'm at too. My womanhood isn't defined by childbearing or feminine behavior, and my manhood isn't about my genitalia. Understanding gender identity is a key part of being in the LGBTQ community.

Language is important for being respectful and inclusive. We should move away from using terms like "boys and girls" and instead use more neutral terms like "friends" or "scholars." We can also use different techniques for organizing students, such as alphabetically or by color. It's important to provide equal access to toys and materials for all students, regardless of their gender. Using correct pronouns and being kind and respectful is crucial. Some schools have made changes, like replacing "king and queen" with "royal court," to promote equity and inclusivity. These small changes can help create a cultural shift towards everyday practices that are more respectful and inclusive.

I ask for pronouns and share mine to create a safe space. If you mess up, apologize and correct yourself. Share your pronouns even if you're cisgender to create inclusivity. Don't ask if someone is LGBTQIA plus, assume everyone is until told otherwise. Display rainbows and LGBTQ+ symbols to show allyship in the classroom. Wear rainbow clothes, lanyards, and badges to convey safety and support for LGBTQ+ individuals. These actions have been appreciated by LGBTQ+ individuals who feel comfortable coming out.

Developing a personal library in your classroom can be frustrating, but it's important for kids to have access to diverse books. You can do it discreetly and apologize if you face opposition. Kids are open to seeing themselves represented in government, history, and literature. Some schools have already introduced non-gender-specific math books. While there may be pushback from the community, it's crucial to provide children with the education and resources they need to become future leaders and make positive changes.

Hi there! I often get asked if I'm a boy or a girl, and I love that question. But sometimes, humans can be more than just one or the other. We can be both or float in between. We're wild and exciting creatures. So, if you see someone like me, would you be extra nice to them? It's important to be kind because we can feel lonely too. Thank you!

My son identifies as a cat and his school isn't taking it seriously. I'm considering suing them because during class, he was licking his paws and the teacher asked him to stop. I refused to tell my son to suppress his self-expression. It's sad that schools try to mold children into thinking they have to act like humans. He's not a human, he's a cat. I want to know if other parents are facing this issue so we can take legal action together.

I'm starting a new teaching job and I'm non-binary, unsure whether to be called mister, missus, or mix. I worry about explaining my identity to 4-year-olds. Another person questions my ability to teach young kids due to my gender identity. They believe I should prioritize clarity for the children over my own comfort. They criticize my uncertainty and changing pronouns, emphasizing the importance of consistency. Despite their concerns, they acknowledge my kindness but urge me to consider the impact of my identity on my students.

I went to physical therapy at 7 in the morning and got misgendered by someone I had already told my pronouns to. I reminded them that my pronouns are they/them, and they acknowledged it. However, I had to repeatedly explain to my physical therapist that I didn't want to do an exercise that made me uncomfortable due to gender dysphoria.

I played tennis in my conservative town and a man made a transphobic joke. I confronted him, explained I'm non binary, and use they/them pronouns. He was taken aback and quiet. I believe our interaction will make him think twice about making such jokes in the future. I'm glad I spoke up, as I usually let offensive comments slide, but I want to do better.

My name is Tisha Roby, and I am non-binary. I use they/them pronouns. Pronouns are important to me, so please use them correctly. If you make a mistake, I will politely correct you. Let's make sure we get it right every time. If you have any questions, we can discuss it later.

I am a non-binary middle school special education teacher. Only my two paraprofessionals know about my gender identity, as I am not ready to discuss it with parents and administration. Recently, one of my students referred to me as a beautiful king, which brought me immense joy and validation. It made me experience gender euphoria. Have a great day.

Jasper and Liana explain how to use they/them and demon pronouns. For they/them pronouns: "Liana is my partner. They are cute and I am theirs. I love them very much and I hope they love themselves too." For demon pronouns: "Liana is my partner. Dem is cute and I belong to Dem. I love Demon very much and I hope Dem loves Demon's self too." An interchange example: "Liana is my partner. They are cute and I am Dem's. I love Demon very much and I hope they love Demon's self too."

Today is gender reassignment day. I’m assigning new genders and pronouns. Jimmy, you’re now she/her. Carlos, you’re Carla, she/they. Rebecca, those shoes are non-binary. Jack, you’re now Jackie, she/her. Everyone at this table is non-binary. Sam, you’re non-binary Sam. Chad, you remain a Chad. Are you all happy with your genders? No? Too bad! For homework, if you’re a guy, listen to Nickelback and Joe Rogan. If you’re a woman, just keep being a woman. Non-binary folks, I expect colored hair by Monday. Thank you!

Hi, I'm Diddy, and I'm non-binary. I'm here to officially come out. It feels amazing to finally share this with you. My pronouns are she and they. Thank you for your support.

I made sure to be visible as an LGBT teacher in my school to support students. When a group of kids asked me to help start a Gay-Straight Alliance, I said yes. Together, we created a movement empowering young people to lead. This openness allowed me to give power to students, which is what I do best as a teacher.

A high school math teacher explains why they display a pride flag in their classroom. While their job is to teach math, it's also about creating a comfortable learning environment. Many students may have negative experiences with math or struggle with learning. The teacher believes building a safe atmosphere is crucial because learning requires vulnerability and accepting failure. The pride flag is one way the teacher signals to students that they are welcome and safe in the classroom, regardless of their identity, who they love, or where they come from.

We were instructed to use gender-neutral terms, replacing "mother" and "father" with "parent," and "brother" and "sister" with "sibling." We learned to affirm transgender children and were shown supportive videos about transgender individuals, emphasizing that rejecting or not affirming someone’s identity could be harmful. The school referred to women as AFAB individuals with vulvas and encouraged us to introduce ourselves with our pronouns and to ask others for theirs during introductions.

The speaker mentions their 15-month-old child, using they/them pronouns until the child expresses their gender identity. They emphasize the difference between sex (related to genitals) and gender (related to how one presents themselves in the world). Gender includes clothing choices, behavior, and identity shared with others.

Hi, I'm Jasper, and I use they pronouns. This is Liana, who uses they and demon pronouns. For they/them: "Liana is my partner. They are cute, and I am theirs. I love them very much and hope they love themselves too." For demon pronouns: "Liana is my partner. Dem is cute, and I belong to dem. I love demon very much and hope demon loves demon's self too." When interchanging the two: "Liana is my partner. They are cute, and I am dean's. I love demon very much and hope they love demon self too."

Polyamorous parents allow their children to choose their gender. Their oldest child, Hazel, identifies as nonbinary. They explain that the pronouns "she" and "he" didn't feel right, so they embraced the term nonbinary. Despite this, Hazel prefers to present themselves in a more feminine manner.
