Remember that you were the one in power in that situation, and kids notice power dynamics. If you're the teacher and you say this guy was wrong, they might actually listen to you. Anyway, all it takes is one voice (yours) to give kids the chance to see that there are possibilities other than what society tells them is the norm. <br /><br />One thing you might do to drive this home is to communicate to the boys how unacceptable it is that they clearly already think cooking is below them/not interesting/not for them. I'm assuming this isn't a situation in which you can be out as trans, which is too bad. I'd really like to see more transguys use their male privilege to be models for changing the sexist dynamics they suffered from when they were living as women.<br /><br />- BFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
