Teacher/counselor

Spent 36 years in education as a counselor teacher in a primarily middle school setting. Medically transitioned from male to female at the age of 62 while counseling. It was a time I will never ever forget as students and teachers were so wonderfully gracious. Retired, but has gone back to substitute teach in the same district and while finding it wonderfully exhilarating, at the end of last school year found myself dealing with a hateful parent group that brought to light the struggles we as trans folk have to deal with.
