Gender, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation

 

How you would respond to a parent/f, family member who informed you they did not want anyone who is perceived (or self-reported) homosexual or transgender to be caring for, educating, and/or interacting with their child.

Firstly, I would have a PTA Meeting to announce the teachers, who will be over the classrooms also, would share some insights on the teachers and allow parents to greet and meet them. During my announcement if, any parent had a question or concern about his / her teacher sexuality I would address it by saying, the teacher has an excellent background check, came high recommended to our facility and poses no threat to your child / children. The teachers here are willing to help each child become “Lifelong Learners” in order to be productive in society.

Any other related situations, thoughts, concerns, questions, and/or areas of discomfort you would like to share related to children, gender, and sexual orientation.

I was in the grocery store about a month ago, and there was a baby in the grocery cart. I notice how customers would walk by and ask another person is “That a little boy or girl”.  This all came about because; the child had both of their ears pierce and hair was braided all over. All they were doing was stereotyping the women’s child instead of, saying to this person your baby looks very nice or just simply saying is that a boy or girl. My question I would like to pose is why people are so fast to stereotype others? I understand this has been going on for quite a while but, it needs to truly stop.
