Supporting Your students' gender confidentiality
If you are unsure how to best support a student who is not out publicly, please consult the MMSD Guidance & Policies to Support Transgender, Nonbinary and Gender-ExpansiveStudents.
Want to check in with your kid without adding pressure to come out? Here are some tips!
Give them a list of trusted resources
Sharing a list of adults you trust to help your kid can give them the path forward. This way, your kid will have the care they need while having the opportunity to explore their gender without pressure. Need an excuse to give them the list? Tell them you saw this website!
Let them know you support gender confidentiality
Telling your kid that you support their gender and their privacy can alleviate stress and pressure. If they want to come out, this may help them along this journey.
