On January 9th, my group met with Randi Reynolds, some of our past 2nd grade teacher. Randi is a transgender man, which means after transitioning, he identifies as a man. We interviewed him using similar questions to our interview with Chap. We wanted to get two different perspectives on these topics. We learned from comparing both interviews that both Randi and Chap said similar things about teaching little kids. Randi said that teaching kids about LGBTQ issues at a younger age used to be more prominent in curriculum. Randi said he remembered a few instances a few years ago when LGBTQ videos were linked in curriculum. I feel like that doesn’t happen as much now. That might just be that it is not happening as much in middle school, but I feel like it should be taught more in middle school, because those middle school years are the years that most kids start coming out. Randi also gave us some really great references for organizations to look more into.
