Abstract
Being trans in different ways is not an emergency and does not have to be dramatic. Instead of reacting only in the moment, politicians, principals, teachers, counselors, nurses and other adults can create a school where fewer spontaneous solutions are needed because there is well thought-out pedagogical and administrative work, what is called the 'whole-of-school approach' (Bartholomaeus & Riggs, 2017a, 2017b; Brömdal et al., 2020). Doing this work is not optional, it is part of the school's mission to create a learning environment free from discrimination, and being prepared saves time and effort.
Based on the material from a study with 13 adolescents and young adults discussed in the article "'You really have to change the textbooks to change the society' - gender and gender identity in schools" in this report, material created by activists and advocacy organizations, and the international research, I suggest that schools can and need to change in several areas, and I structure the suggestions according to these areas.
