Cries of “Here comes the ‘it’!” in school hallways. Teachers who refuse to use transgender students’ names and pronouns. Long, isolating walks to faraway gender-neutral bathrooms — or just holding it all day.

These are among the school memories that linger with transgender and nonbinary adults, illuminating the finding from a Washington Post-KFF poll that school is among the greatest stressors for trans children. More than 4 in 10 trans adults in the survey, one of the most sweeping of its kind to date, reported that school made them feel unsafe.
