Trans teacher at Brooke Roslindale School slammed for telling FIRST GRADERS doctors guess baby's gender
A transgender teacher has been criticized online after he told a group of first grade students that when babies are born, doctors "guess" if they're boys or girls, and "sometimes the doctor is wrong" and "makes an incorrect guess". Ray Skyer, a transman, teaches first grade at the Brooke Roslindale School in the Boston area. He was teaching children via Zoom call, when the school was hosting an "identity share" for students from kindergarten through second grade.
Skyer began the "identity share" by telling kindergartners that he was going to reveal something really cool. "So, something that's real cool and unique about who I am is that I am transgender," he said. "So, we touched a little bit about that at the beginning of this week, in the book that Miss Hammond read, but I'm gonna give you my explanation about what it means to be transgender as well," he added.
