I had no intention of bringing in the history of epidemics, pandemics and vaccinations into my classroom until after the first day of school when I asked my students to share their hopes and fears for back-to-school and the course. Starting my course with hopes and fears was particularly important this year as I recognized that before engaging in curricular content, students may need to share their experiences and feelings regarding back-to-school. This important opening routine helps me build genuine relationships with my students grounded in trust, honesty and care at the forefront.    [Read More](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/history-of-epidemics-pandemics-and-vaccines) Topics: [facing history pedagogy](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/topic/facing-history-pedagogy), [pandemic](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/topic/pandemic), [world history](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/topic/world-history), [COVID-19](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/topic/covid-19) # [Welcoming gender diversity in the ‘free speech’ era: Tips for handling anti-transgender speech in the classroom](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/welcoming-gender-diversity-in-the-free-speech-era) Posted by [Lee Airton](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/author/lee-airton) on November 4, 2020 [![](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/hubfs/GYG%20cover.png)](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/welcoming-gender-diversity-in-the-free-speech-era) The past five years have witnessed a landmark re-emergence of gender diversity in North American public life and a surge in mainstream media representation. Transgender-spectrum people – those with a gender identity that does not align with expectations based on our assigned sex – are standing on decades of trans activism and increasingly bringing our entire selves to our workplaces, schools, and other public places.
