An elementary school in Oxford, Mass., has sent a letter to parents announcing that the night janitor who finished the last school year as a man would begin the next as a woman.

"Students may notice and ask about the differences in our custodian from last year to this," reads the letter from the district superintendent and principal of Clara Barton School. "If they ask at school, they will be given a simple and straightforward answer. The best thing to tell them is that our custodian used to be a man. She has changed her gender role and is now a woman."

I like simple answers.  Not that anyone cares about janitors anyway.

That's why we have a educational support union, they care.
 
And in this case the school district administration is willing to go the extra mile to do what is right, for a trusted employee. 

and by coincidence the doors on the school are about two inches  (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,53005.msg330992.html#msg330992) thick
