I'm a teacher (at a large public school in Canada) who CDs and ventures out about once a month to a meetup with a group of other CDs and trans folk. We normally meet at a gay pride centre and then go to a bar that hosts a drag show. However, some of us haVe expressed a desire to go to a local coffee shop to meet, instead of the bar (less noise and more conversation). One of my biggest fears is bumping into or being recognized by a student or former student of mine.
First, I'm wondering if there are any other teachers on the forum? And If you are a teacher, have you ever run into a student while dressed?
One of my CD friends said, "They'd only recognize me if I walked up to them and asked if they have their homework done." Maybe I worry too much.
