Two years ago, in 2016, we interviewed a mother named Dawn about her family’s experiences of LGBTQ families in Ontario schools. Dawn has two daughters.
Her older daughter was 10 during our interview, and identifies as cisgender: a person whose gender identity and expression matches the social expectations for the physical/biological sex they were assigned at birth
Dawn’s younger daughter was 8, and identifies as a transgender girl: a person whose sense of their gender identity is different from the biological sex that they were assigned at birth.
Dawn’s younger daughter’s transition at school was difficult. Here’s what Dawn said when we asked her what teachers can do to help students transition at school (Tara Goldstein).
