I have a five year old daughter whom starts kindergarten this coming September.
Anyway, diagonally across the street from me is this family whom has 6 children, some of whom played with my daughter this past summer, but they're older... I tried my best to make sure these kids did not see me when I was going out en femme, but was seen by their father, although it could of been anyone or my sister, etc driving my car that day, lol...
So, there's this new family in the house next to them, and they have children.. The other night, my wife is walking by them and over hears the 9yr old neighbor say to one of the new kids "her daddy dresses like a girl"..
That child's mother is also the neighborhood mouth and gossip queen.. aka Harriet Olsen..
My concern here is not these particular children, but those whom may be in my own child's school and/or classes since this 9yr old goes there, as the building is grades K - 5 and my concern is that my transgender status may become known by other kids whom may be interacting with my child.
My own child sees absolutely nothing wrong with me, and considers it as normal.. However, these other kids, well, I have no idea how they'd treat her because of me..
I was thinking that perhaps I should have a sit down with the school principal, and advise him that I am transgender and tell him what I had just said above, and see if there's some way that they could intervene by incorporating something about transgender awareness or education to the students on what transgender is, or something, to prevent my child from being bullied because of me being who I am.
I am really concerned about this and need advice on how to proceed, etc...., I'm also thinking that maybe this particular school isn't prepared to handle this and I don't know what to do in order to prepare them for this issue that's most likely to come up in my child's future there
