(Amber Crawford) A charter school in Boston held an “identity share” session on a Zoom call with kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders. During this session, one of the teachers, a transgender man named Ray Skyer, informed the children that when babies are born, doctors “guess” their gender and are sometimes wrong.

On the Zoom call, Skyer was asked to share something cool about himself, and the “coolest” thing about him is apparently that he’s transgender. Before diving into his ridiculous, inappropriate explanation of ‘transgender’, Skyer reminds the kids that they “touched a little bit about that at the beginning of this week in the book that Ms. Hammond read,” suggesting that these K-2 graders were already read a book on being transgender. This in itself is a totally inappropriate classroom topic for such young kids.
“So, something that’s really cool and unique about who I am is that I am transgender,” Skyer said.
The teacher then proceeded to explain to these children that doctors only “guess” a baby’s gender when it’s born, and can be wrong:
So when babies are born, the doctor looks at them, and they make a guess about whether the baby is a boy or a girl based on what they look like. And most of the time that guess is 100% correct, there are no issues whatsoever. But sometimes the doctor is wrong, the doctor makes an incorrect guess. When a doctor makes a correct guess, that’s when a person is called cisgender. When a doctor’s guess is wrong that’s when they are transgender.
So I’m a man, but when I was a baby, the doctors told my parents I was a girl. And so my parents gave me a name that girls typically have and bought me clothes that girls typically wear, and until I was 18 years old everyone thought I was a girl. And this was super, super uncomfortable for me because I knew that wasn’t right. The way I like to describe it is like wearing a super-itchy sweater. The longer you wear it the itchier it gets, and the only way to make the itching stop is to have everyone see and know the person that you really are.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
