Rosie Sandri, a trans teacher at Red Oak high school in Texas, resigned after facing a conservative backlash following a post by Libs of TikTok that misgendered her. Despite strong support from colleagues and students, she received threats, including death threats, prompting her resignation to protect her students' safety. Sandri described her experience of teaching as affirming, highlighting the positive relationship she had with her students. Ultimately, she lamented the loss of her dream as an educator due to the external pressures and threats she faced from conservative factions.
They call me ma'am. They call me miss. They use my correct pronouns and know my correct name, and it is incredibly affirming.
Public schools (and the property taxes that fund them) are for education not leftist indoctrination!
I'm heartbroken. It felt like my hands were tied. But my No 1 priority as a teacher is my students, and I can't put their safety at risk.
It felt like my dream was being taken away from me.
