Another day, another sibling-related interaction. Since we have block schedule, I shared the happy news that having a bossy big sister can be ever so beneficial with the rest of my classes today. The older sisters in the group embraced the news, but not surprisingly, there were skeptics, too.
One student unmuted and said that his experience did not match the research.
"But you said you have a big brother," I answered. "That doesn't count."
"You don't know the whole story," he said. "My brother? Is transgender! So I know what I'm talking about."
"Uhh, you're right," I replied. "I did not know that." I was quiet for a moment. "I don't think the research study corrected for that factor, though. But maybe they should."
