Child transsexuality is still a great unknown and, when a family makes the decision to accompany a boy or a girl on this path, they are often very alone because of the misunderstanding and ignorance of society.
That is why having support "from outside doors" and, specifically, in the school the child is studying, is a great help. In this sense, the letter that the director of a center has addressed to the families of the students of the class of a child who has decided to clothe in the process of gender change.
Naturalness first
Instead of wrapping the process in secrets and involving children in them, in this school it has been decided to give visibility to transsexuality and take advantage of how open-minded children are when things are explained to them, so that they transfer that spirit to its surroundings. The letter, which has already gone viral, was brought to light by journalist Natalia Bravo and is about her nephew's school (she has decided to eliminate the name of the school and the child):

The letter starts like this:
"Dear families of 4th grade: Surely, when your children return from school today, they will explain to you that there is a boy in 4th grade who will be a child starting on Monday. He has decided to take an important step: live according to his true identity gender, that is, as the girl who really has always been.Of course, this step is the result of a long and thoughtful process on the part of the family, which is well informed and has been advised in all aspects. After all this process, the family is proud of their courage and, both they and the school, we are prepared to accompany her in this process. "
Sensitivity and consideration
A detail of the letter draws attention: the director refers to the child in feminine, uses "accompany her", valuing and accepting the gender identity of that child who feels like a child and contributing some more sensitivity and understanding to this sensitive issue . The letter continues:
"We all have the assurance that it is not a transitory whim. Sexual identity is determined by psychological sex, which is perfectly seated in anyone from three years of age and that, sometimes, does not coincide with that assigned to the be born".
Information and tolerance
The circular ends by offering families a series of links to inform themselves about the reality of transgender children "to avoid uncomfortable situations or ridicule derived from ignorance" although the director is confident that "she will find support and respect among her classmates and friends and families of these. "
Exemplary, this teacher and her message betting on understanding and making pineapple to help the family in a process that is usually difficult for them, but much more for the little one in the event that he is forced to live in a body with The one who does not identify. "There is a boy who, from Monday will be a girl", so simple and sometimes so difficult to accept.
