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

Allyship is action.
