Case: Am I a Boy or Girl?
We have student who is a girl. She dresses out in the girls locker and by every document she is classified as a female. Recently, she dropped the "f" bomb in class and I spoke with her about this behavior and how it is unacceptable and offensive. I told her that it sounds so trashy coming from a young lady's mouth. Her response to me was, "I am not a girl." A few days later, she turned in an excuse and where her mother had written "her" or "she", she crossed out and put "him" or "he". What are some suggestions on how to handle this? Because it is clear that her parents are unaware of this situation.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would make the parents aware of the situation and then refer the student to the guidance counselor for further assistance. |

Comments: I would never contact the parents. You should not be the one to brake this type of news to them, it should be the guidance counselor. She/he probably has training in this type of situation. |

Comments: Making the parents aware of this may endanger the student if their parents do not agree with the student possibly being transgender. It would be best to allow them to speak with a counselor first. |

Comments: I don't think it should be the teachers responsibility to make the parents aware of this type of issue. It should go through the guidance counselor first. |
