Transgender Day of Remembrance

I don't know where else to post this so I'll put it here...

My Aunt was an administrator in the Pima county school district. She is very open minded about things like this. I'm glad to read that there was at least one administrator in the article who was concerned about the safety of the kids! I'll have to ask her if she knows him. Also glad I teach in college where we don't have to worry about "dress codes." Most of my students seem to be pretty accepting of "alternative" lifestyles. I have noticed a change--for the better--just in the 10 or so years I've been teaching.

Hope to have a group together to go next Saturday. After promoting the Day of Remembrance at our university and placing a banner to Stopping the Hate on my blog, my students and colleagues are pretty clear where I stand.
