Oxford teacher faces action over 'misgendering' pupil
BBC ^ | 11/13/2017 | Staff

Posted on 11/13/2017 12:45:16 PM PST by simpson96

Joshua Sutcliffe, a Christian pastor from Oxford, admitted he said "Well done girls" when addressing a group including the student.

He described it as a "slip of the tongue", but said he believed biological sex was defined at birth

The school said it would be "inappropriate" to comment.

Mr Sutcliffe, who teaches children aged between 11 and 18, said the incident took place on 2 November.

He said a week-long investigation found he had "misgendered" the pupil.

The maths teacher, who is also a pastor at the Christ Revelation church in Oxford, said he tried to balance his beliefs with the need to treat the pupil sensitively.

He claimed he did this by avoiding the use of gender-specific pronouns and by referring to the pupil by name.

"While the suggestion that gender is fluid conflicts sharply with my Christian beliefs... I have never looked to impose my convictions on others", he said

He said he had apologised to the student, but said he did not consider it "unreasonable" to call someone a girl "if they were born a girl".(snip)

The Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Mr Sutcliffe, said he faced an internal disciplinary hearing on Wednesday.(snip)

LGBT charity Stonewall said "pupils must be protected" even if teachers may hold "different opinions" about sexuality and gender identity.

"pupils must be protected"...from reality, apparently.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Someone gave a good rule of thumb here. You read these stories “transgender boy” and not know if they are XX or XY.

The rule of thumb is “transgender” = fake.

So “trangender girl” = fake girl = boy.

Innocent mistakes are no excuse for violating liberals’ ethical and apparently legal codes.

Do they want him brought up on charges and tried in the Old Bailey?

Or do they just want him drummed out of his job?

The essence of PeeCee tyranny brainwashing is to FORCE the people to assert as TRUE what they know is FALSE. It is not important that they believe the lies, but that they surrender to them and repeat them obediently.

“.. the sex of an individual is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes (gonosomes). Females typically have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males typically have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex.”
THAT WAS GOD’S DESIGN AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE.

Ah, yes, the *victimhood* is strong here. The Olympic motto is the hendiatris (triple word emphasis) Citius, Altius, Fortius, which is Latin for “Faster, Higher, Stronger”. The new one is liable to be victimhood forever, microagressed and misunderstood!

Ha!

My favorite story today was on the transracial guy. White guy who “identifies” as Pacific Islander.

Who will not be a victim of that’s allowed?

That’s an excellent way to explain it.

Whenever the press talks of a transgender girl, it means it’s a boy, and vice versa.

“It is not important that they believe the lies, but that they surrender to them and repeat them obediently.”

A woman who had lived under the Nazis and the Soviets said she preferred the Nazis. She said, “If you did what the Nazis told you to, you were safe. The Soviets wanted you to think they way they wanted. If they thought you didn’t think their way, they’d punish you.”

I’m confused. Is a “transgendered boy” a boy that has become a girl or a girl that has become a boy?

It’s interesting that the article didn’t compliment political correct double standards since it referred to the professor as he.

Well, when the Muzzlimes finally take the gift they’re being offered on a silver platter-—the entire country of England-—you won’t have to worry about “gender identity” stuff any more. All classes will be segregated and teachers will be punished for using gender-neutral pronouns, instead of being punished for using normal gender pronouns for the appropriate sex. STUPID LIBTARDS!!!

ISIS and The Little Urchin in North Korea must laugh themselves silly before they go to bed at night at the foolishness of western "culture".

I'd bet secretly the Japanese are wondering how they ever lost to US.
