I came out to one of my teachers as transgender recently, and she’s been really cool about it, but I’m wondering if maybe she’s not actually cool about it and she’s just acting like she is? I know you obviously can’t speak for her, but if a student came out to you how would you react/feel?

Teaching in Real Life

If she’s acting like she is cool about it, then she likely really is cool about it.  You cannot control people’s feelings, but she seems to be supporting you.

I would support the student in any way that I can.
