To be an Ally I need to be a support person but also understand my privilege at the same time. I need to be aware of how my life as a straight white women has a lot more privilege than a person who is trans or gay. Support is the best thing I can do for my students and their families. How can I help them. This reminds me of a time where a student opened up to me about how her older teen sibling was transitioning. I told her I was open to talking whenever she wants and I can get someone else to talk with her if she wanted.
