Teacher records themself coming out a trans, finds it difficult to explain to fourth graders

Libs of Tik Tok is on fire today with videos of teachers, so it was difficult to narrow it down to one. In light of the hysteria over Florida voting to ban discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in grade 3 and younger, though, we had to go with this one. For one thing, we finally know how to pronounce “Mx.” We’re not sure where this teacher is in their transition, so we’re going with “they” and “them.” They thought it was a good idea to come out to their class as trans, and even though the fourth graders were curious, we don’t think the teacher quite got it across. “Is it like a tomboy?” Well, no, it’s trans.

Boundaries simply don’t exist for these people. If you wonder why states are starting to legislate this stuff to protect small children from sexual influence they should not be burdened with, look no further than TikTok.

And teachers…get some professional help. #DontSayGay https://t.co/mCVp0xRNvh

There is absolutely no reason for a teacher to “come out” to their students. This is the kind of inappropriate, creepy behavior that should absolutely be banned. https://t.co/YRMC6qmFjV

WTH? Why does any adult feel the need to discuss their sexuality or mental issues with children?

And why are there so many employeed and entrusted to teach large groups of children doing that 💩? pic.twitter.com/ocXwa3LOp1

I really liked being in class where the teachers did not over share about their personal life and choices and just focused on school. Students do not and should not know everything.

I didn’t even know my 4th grade teacher’s first name. What happened to professional boundaries?

I don’t understand how educators are not aware that this crosses boundaries that as a teacher should not be crossed. Personal information about yourself should be shared as seldom as possible. Yes/no answers to students, or change the subject. She should not be filming this.

Needing validation from 4th grade children on your sexuality only shows deeply rooted mental health issues. This person should not be in the position of teaching.

Is that going to be on a test?

Can you imagine an hour lesson plan of this for 5 year olds. That’s the fight that’s going on in Florida.

Is this the return to normalcy I keep hearing about?

“Does anyone have any more questions for me/about me so I can continue to talk about myself/my experiences?”

Seriously, why is this on video?

Right. It's not "look at me, I accomplished something noteworthy," it's just demanding attention for a made-up reason.

Attention and validation on social media.

Not a good reason, but it is the main reason.

This has been planned for years. These people have all gone into teaching and social work. It’s all about the children
