A substitute teacher who is doing the job and the school system has no problem with the way she teaches but only with the fact that she is transgender.
The article mentions that Texas law does not cover sexual orientation or identity, however, it doesn’t say anything about the fact that federal law does cover gender identity.

One parent whose son was in the class said he thinks the teacher would be fine filling in with older children, but not children who are so young.
"Within an hour of them being exposed or dealing with this, there's a few issues here. I think these kids are too young for this issue, so that's our main focus is, if it happens in older grades, high school, OK... but too young for this," says Roger Bread, a 5th grade dad.
Other parents say there is nothing complicated about explaining what a transgender person is. They say the teacher has never been an issue before and don't see why it is now.
"My son knows who he is and I don't think any outside influence is going to change that. I'm more concerned about straight predatory teachers, rather than I am [of] someone who lives an alternative, private, alternate lifestyle. I don't worry about my son," Jammie Marcantel, a 5th grade parent says.
