It's not clear in the article if the student was going through procedures, or just going by a preferred name.


Standard procedure is to have the patient live as their target gender for a couple years before beginning any physical transition, to see if transitioning is actually going to be beneficial for them before doing anything irreversible. It is unclear whether the name change here was recommended by a doctor or undertaken by the person themselves as a means of experimenting with their identity, but I don't see that that really makes a difference. Trying out different identities is a perfectly normal, healthy part of adolescence, and part of teaching adolescent students is respecting that. If a kid wants to change their name, who are you to tell them they can't?

Letting them think gender transitioning is possible in a medical sense is lying to them.


Oh really? Do elaborate on what is so impossible about transitioning that it means doctors are lying to their patients (which, incidentally, would subject those doctors to lawsuits if it could be proven that they knowingly lied to their patients, so if you have such conclusive proof, you might want to hook up a lawyer buddy with some juicy legal fees).
