REFLECTION
I agree with what RIDE says. I feel like this is something that students/children should always have the support of someone else, no matter how they need it. They should always have someone to talk, in case they are being discriminated against or if it is because of their sexual orientation or religion, have someone who can guide them so they do not feel insecure and see that it is not a problem and that they can have the support of other people. Additionally, this would also help them not get depressed, so they can see that we are all equal, that we all have the same rights and that they should not be afraid of being who they are.
As the document mentions, all students have the right to dress as they want, this is another way in which they can express their freedom, so I also agree that schools should not have a dress code. Documents like these are essential to read for students who want to become teachers, so they can have a guide and be well informed. This gives us ideas, so we are prepared when facing a case like this and know how to guide the students in these situations.
Reading The Trevor Project I learned a lot, it has so much information that we need to acquire. Being honest I like the way this article is trying to educate people about gender and sex. I also like the way it explains every term like "cisgender," transgender," "nonbinary" etc. I think this reading is a good resource to read for those people who do not have enough education about topics like this, so they can gain knowledge. I really like the part of the pronouns where it mentions that it is a wat of respecting how people identify themselves and that is why Dr. Bogad made us put our pronouns on our name tags.

I think a lot of what RIDE and the Trevor Project is trying to communicate is just basic respect that every person deserves.
