Some thoughts for the theatre educators out there.
I’ve seen how acting classes can offer more than just artistic training—they can provide gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary students.

They try to silence us —queer, disabled, autistic, trans, Black, Immigrant, indigenous. But we exist. We belong. And we will not be erased. No matter where you are, you are not alone.

Schools should empower, not erase. Compulsory heterosexuality pressures students and teachers to conform. By challenging bias, using inclusive language and advocating for #queer representation, we can create affirming spaces. How do you make your school more inclusive? Drop a comment.

Stereotypes exist for a reason—but that doesn’t mean they should define us. In my classroom, we unpack where they come from, their impact (good & bad), and how we can use that knowledge to create change. Let’s challenge the narrative! #TeachingWhileQueer #Queer #QueerEducators #LGBTQ #2SLGBTQIA
