My child is on the autism spectrum and has an IEP. I had a very good relationship with every Special Ed team from elementary through middle school. They implemented every suggestion I made and told me what a good advocate I was for my child and how easy it was to work with me. Then my child was invited to the GSA club in seventh grade, and soon after announced a transgender identity out of the blue with never a hint before of discomfort with gender or identity. When I didn't jump on board with immediate transition and preferred pronouns and new name, suddenly I was no longer a respected part of the school team. I was labeled 'unsupportive.' Teachers and counselors affirmed my child's trans identity behind my back, utilizing pronouns I did not affirm were acceptable for them to use. They were deceptive and they drove a wedge between my child and me, labeling themselves 'supportive' and our family a threat."
