Angel: Teacher (he/him) Cynthia: Student (they - their - theirs) Guadalupe: Student (she/her) Andrea: Narrator First day at school Angel: Good morning, students. We have a new classmate. She is- Cynthia: No, I’m not she! Guadalupe: Then, what are you? Narrator: Cynthia identified themself as a non-binary person, so… Cynthia: My pronouns are they and them. Angel: What? Why? Are you a transgender person? Narrator: Then, Cynthia decided to explain the difference between non-binary people and transgender people. Cynthia: I don’t identify myself as a woman nor as a man. Transgender people do. Guadalupe: Oh! So you’re asexual, aren’t you? Narrator: Cynthia felt confused. She hadn’t heard that word before. Cynthia: I’m non-binary… I haven’t heard about asexuality before. Narrator: So the teacher decided to add some information. Angel: No, Guadalupe. Asexual people are those who don’t feel any sexual attraction to others. They are like a gender orientation, not a gender identity. Guadalupe: Teacher, you know a lot! Narrator: Mr. Angel was asexual himself, but he wouldn’t say that to his twelve-years-old students. There were things that were just too much information. The class left the topic like that and Cynthia sat next to Guadalupe. Guadalupe: So… Can I use just your name to address you? Cynthia: Yes, of course. 69
