education and trans advocacy,the three ofus(Harper,Lee,and Rachel)are lucky to regularly hear about the important work trans educators do every day.Whether it's helpingstudents to organize gender and sexuality alliances,mentoring trans youth,working with teachers'unions to improve health care benefits for people of allgenders,or simply showing up to school andbeing present for their students,there is no doubt that trans educators are making important andnecessary contributions to learning environments across North America and beyond.  \nWe are also keenly aware that appreciation of the work trans educators do is rare.Over the last fiveyears,trans people of all ages have become increasingly targeted and demonized,especially in relationto schooling.Around the world,lawmakers and politicians are drumming up anti-trans prejudice amongthe public,positioning trans people as scapegoats for manufactured moral panics and,ultimately,advancing socially conservative political agendas (Reid,2024).In many places,including the U.S.and Western Europe,transness has frequently been framed as a kind of harmful“social contagion”(Broderick,2023).Not only is such rhetoric rooted in the belief that transness itself is a problem,theconcept of social contagion has been used as justification for widespread efforts to pass legislationthat would heavily restrict the rights of trans youth and educators.Too often,the rhetoric of socialcontagion has led to efforts to push trans people out of public education and to separate trans adultsfrom children.This issue of the Bank Street Occasional Paper Series aims to do just the opposite:tocelebrate and learn from the presence of trans educators in young people's lives and to work toward afield of education that is far more inviting to trans people of all ages.  \nTRANSGENDER PEOPLE AND EDUCATION  \nAlthough K-12 schools have always had gender
