Among other minority groups, the trans community is systematically repressed
by a hegemonic heteronormativity. In the English as a Foreign Language
(EFL) teaching area, the perspective of this collective is equally absent. This
study aims at gaining insight from a transgender student on his impact and
perception within the EFL classroom to make secondary-school EFL contexts
more inclusive regarding transgender. An exploratory case study constituted
the basis of this article via an open interview with a transgender student. By
exposing him to input stereotyping gender and marginalizing the trans
community, their perception of the danger of the LGBTQIA+ community
beyond the classroom was elicited. Different measures were discussed as
potential improvements whose implementation could ensure safer
environments and a more inclusive teaching experience. Further research
could obtain insight beyond the trans community to assess the awareness and
compromise towards the collective from individuals who are not part of it. [-]
