  Case: Transphobia
How should I handle students purposefully misgendering me as a transgender teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would just keep reminding them of your pronouns. Maybe you could have a lesson on pronouns. I would find the student that is the "ringleader" and if it is a boy ask him how he would feel if you started calling him "Miss (last name)" if that is not how he identifies. A lot of transphobia starts at home. If parents are transphobic, the student will probably be too. Be assertive, and stand your ground. Your identity is not a joke and students should not be able to disrespect you.
