Get ready for part two of my conversation with Flint. If you haven’t listened to part one, hit pause and give it a listen, then come back for part two.

In this episode, we’re continuing our conversation about creating a safe and supportive space for trans kids, and the trans adults they need in their lives to show them that they will be fine, and that what they are experiencing is normal.

Flint is an English teacher in Southern California. They are white, use they/them pronouns, are vegan, married to an artist, and are nonbinary. They are the kind of person who really goes out of their way to make sure that students, colleagues, and friends are valued and appreciated.

They play and coach roller derby, and have cultivated a large social media following on multiple platforms simply by sharing their genuine and authentic experiences as a trans teacher.

Check out the full episode to hear about:

  • How Flint found a community of trans teachers online and grappled with coming out at school post-remote schooling
  • How Flint leads with questions to defuse conflict within the community, and why it’s important to know when to end the conversation
  • Reflecting on Flint’s gender journey and why it’s never too late to claim your identity
  • Why kids need to see a diversity of experiences of gender and sexuality
  • Why you need to create an environment where it’s safe to ask questions and talk about hard things
  • Why we need to untangle gender and sexuality
