#I don’t think my emails are working i’ve been doing this shit since y8

[wren-kitchens]

love the fact I have to write email after email to my school to remind them that

a) trans kids wanting to change their name/pronouns in school should not need parental consent for this to happen, and they should not have their parents called about it (because this is happening to my friend right now)

b) students who don’t look obviously mentally ill/neurodivergent should not be immediately overlooked and acted towards like they’re faking (because surprise surprise that’s also happening to my friends)

c) if a student you know is struggling tells you not to talk to their parents about it, don’t fucking call their parents

d) there are more identities then bi, gay, lesbian and binary trans people and they shouldn’t be all lumped together into the one mandatory pshe (or now ‘personal development’) lesson they did once, because for some kids there’s no other way to learn about this

on the topic of d, don’t fucking put a whole powerpoint slide of slurs on the fucking screen to say not to use them
