Transgender
Setting: English classroom.
Time: 6th grade class.
Problem: Listening activity (listen, draw the line matching the picture to the correct number) featured a male picture but female voice.
Me, just pointing it out because it was funny: Boys and girls, did you hear that? The voice is female, but look at the picture!
Student, very matter-of-factly: Transgender.
Me, surprised: What?
Student: Transgender. You know, boy girl? Girl boy?

Ha! Did you hear the big "news" today that Dumbledore from Harry Potter is "gay".

Yeah, but honestly, I made it one third through the first Potter book and gave up. I love books, and when I was a kid I loved the HALF MAGIC series, but I just couldn't get through it! I know, I am a bad person. ㅋㅋㅋ
Still, I don't think my American kids would know the word "transgender." Of course, in Korea, 6 and 7 year olds tell you "Amanda sekssi!" and men wear "panties."
