Host, Bryan Stanton (he/they) sits down with Brittany (she/her) a bisexual English teacher in North Texas. The two talk about bisexual identity, conservative outrage, and doxing.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a queer educator navigating a hostile educational environment? Join us on an enlightening journey with Brittany, an 11th-grade dual credit English teacher, who explores the complexities of being a bisexual woman in academia. In a captivating conversation, Brittany pulls back the curtain on her personal experiences, including her struggles and triumphs, within her Christian upbringing and the pushback she's faced while reviewing controversial books.
Brittany sheds light on the pivotal role educators play in creating safe spaces for dialogue around identity and shares her own experiences with the dangers of doxing within the social media landscape. From the challenges of working in a school environment that opposes the LGBTQ+ community to the formation of a pride club, Brittany's stories underscore the importance of allyship and advocacy in education.
In the latter part of the discussion, Brittany turns to guiding new educators, providing them with essential advice on navigating their identities in the educational environment. We reflect on the critical role of LGBTQ+ safe spaces in schools, the careful approach needed when revealing one's identity, and the need for robust support networks. With this episode, we hope to inspire a wave of understanding and acceptance in classrooms around the world, fostering a culture that embraces all students, regardless of their identity. Join us and become part of the change in navigating LGBTQ+ issues in academia.
