Thank you for the clarification. It is true, I was hired as trans, but albeit over the phone, sight unseen. I am sure that the all female interview panel assumed I am male. Since it is not appropriate to mention gender, religion etc..in an interview, I did not mention that I am a trans woman. So, I felt that maybe I should at least prep my admin with my pronoun request prior to the start of school. The alternative is to just show up for the first day of new teacher orientation as Miss Michelle and get right to business without delay. Thank you again for your feedback and insight!
