Yanna called me in a frenzy as I was on my way to class. “Sir, the students have bullied me for being a transwoman,” she said. I replied, “Ma’am, exit the classroom and I will handle the rest of the class. I’m about to reach.” Yaana held back her tears and responded, “No, if I walk out now, I would feel like I validated their bullying. I want to be able to finish the class.”
