Dealing with bullies

As the school year gets closer, I have more and more meetings with teachers, principals, and administrators. It's exhausting, but when you have a transgender child this is your life! We need a game plan, things that I took for granted are now the hardest decisions for the school and myself to make. Simple little things like, which dress code does she follow, what name should they call her by, bathroom issues(no longer a huge issue THANK YOU OBAMA!!!) and so much more have been asked, but Jason and I still have one huge worry. How will they deal with bullying? I plan on asking them this at our next meeting, but honestly I'm upset this hasn't come up already. How will she deal with this? She'll only be five! She will have JUST turned five the day she starts kindergarten! She shouldn't have to worry about the bullies, but we've already had to prep her for it when we do anything. When we go out we remind Callie, and all our other kids to be honest, that they are beautiful and God made them in a special way and sometimes people just can't see that yet. We've told Callie that she can't be sensitive. She can't be a little kid about this and it sucks, she's had to grow up so fast. She's already had people at the pool ask why she wears shorts over her bathing suit, so many that all of the girls and myself started doing the same to help her feel better about it. It's no secret that we love Jazz Jennings and her family and watching her show has shown me how bad the bullying can get. That's our fear, another fear is that the school won't handle the bullying correctly. When I was bullied in 9th grade the teachers and principal insisted that there was no bullying because they hadn't seen anything! I don't want that for our girl, I want to know that she is beyond protected. 110% protected and kept safe by her teachers, I am hoping that they agree to keep her safe and promise me they will inform me of any issues that go on. This bullying thing is something she will have to deal with for the rest of her life, but I think kindergarten should be a fun time not a scary time. Here's to hoping it goes smoothly!
