Abstract
This chapter examines transgender parents and educators in the context of schools. There is likely to be an increasing visibility of transgender adults in schools, with growing numbers of transgender people having children after transitioning, parents who transition while their child(ren) are in school, young people transitioning prior to becoming teachers, and teachers transitioning while teaching. This chapter explores first-person narratives written by transgender parents and documentaries featuring transgender parents’ narratives, highlighting that there is very little discussion of school-related stories. In terms of educators, first-person narratives from transgender educators or future educators drawn from posts to Reddit forums are analysed. These narratives are used to examine the key needs of transgender educators and future educators, and transgender parents, in relation to education.
