Thank you for writing AND publishing/ bearing witness to your experience of someone I suspect was being willfully ignorant, rude, and or....(?).🌈☮️🌎🌍🌏☮️It reminds me , a Black same gender loving 65y/o man of a time in 2018 when I felt safe in my workspace to affirm a colleague's outrage at how LAUSD/UTLA's insensitivity had traumatized parents and primary grade students struggling to understand/ accept the transition of one of their teachers from male to female. It deeply saddens me in 2024 to be reminded how little some homo sapiens have matured.
