So today at work we had an inservice (I'm a teacher) where we pretty much have a long meeting all day. As part of this meeting my principal, a Catholic nun, (it's a Catholic school, which is why I'm not fully transitioning until the school year's over) showed us a movie about "two spirit" people (It's a Navajo school). I thought it was insane. Of course, the entire time I'm half loving it and half dreading that they're going to make a connection between the movie and me. Then at the end the principal says "it's important to know that these people are among us and that we need to welcome them" and held out her arms. I was shocked and happy. Part of me wanted to scream out "I'm trans!" right then and there, but I thought better of it. I'm still staying in the closet there, but it makes me more comfortable about my gender expression (since I do wear very masculine or male clothing, have short hair, etc). And it struck up conversation about it with the Navajo teachers, too, one of whom has been very upset that her 11-year-old granddaughter wants to wear boys clothes and has a boys haircut and stuff. So yeah, it was a little awkward for me to watch this in a room full of my colleagues (I was very conscious of keeping my facial expressions neutral), but I'm pleasantly surprised our principal chose this movie for our inservice at our Catholic school.
