Teachers Are Outing Trans Students in Texas
Ethan Brignac, a transgender student at Wylie East High School near Dallas, has used his chosen name since seventh grade. However, due to Texas' new law, teachers are increasingly outing trans students, putting their privacy at risk.
The Impact of the "Don't Say Gay" Law
The law restricts discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in schools, leading some educators to reveal students' transgender status without consent. This has caused fear among students like Ethan, who worry about being outed against their will.
"This law makes it easier for teachers to expose students who haven't come out publicly yet," Ethan said. "It feels like my safety and privacy don't matter."
Consequences for Students
Many transgender students face emotional distress and social backlash once their identity is disclosed. Privacy breaches can undermine their wellbeing and school experience.
Author's Summary
This law has created a hostile environment where teachers feel permitted to reveal sensitive information about transgender students, endangering their safety and trust.
