A Virginia teacher has filed a lawsuit saying he was wrongfully fired for refusing to use male pronouns for a transgender student. In 2018, a student at West Point High School began identifying as male. He and his mother asked for him to be referred to with his preferred name and pronouns: he, him, his.

"It is a privilege to not have to worry about which pronoun someone is going to use for you based on how they perceive your gender,"


So we have moved on from white privilege to gender privilege?

You mean he said su when he should have said zu...I mean sui instead of twi...

Soon nobody's going to be able to keep a job. Who can keep up with all those pronouns? It's hard enough keeping up with he and she.

I guess he doesn’t possess any intersectionality that actually intersects.

I propose a new set of pronouns that will help identify these people and will be universally accepted:

Twit, twat, turd’s

A teacher.... TEACHER... as in their job is to TEACH, is fired for using female student pronouns with a female student. The female student wanting to be male does not change her gender, she still has XX Chromosomes in her uterus.

The Left has taken a big leap towards turning America into the Soviet Union. If they can control people’s lives with this insanity, they can control us with anything. Time to stop them.

I know it’s not possible to have this convo, but really, I would like to see a serious medical/psychological/psychiatric discussion of an account as to what conditions exist or what happens to a person to identify with the other gender rather than the birth gender.

I mean....most people stick with how they were born.

Ok...some don’t.

But...what is the scientific account for that? What is the source/cause of the disconnect...which seems to me on the face of it to be pretty profound - because after all, men and women do have some major differences, and certainly hormonally are very different.

The problem is, if we were to actually investigate that....we would likely see that the type of things associated with wanting to switch to the other team are typically things that we would want to contain/treat. Except perhaps in the pure psychology profession where there are schools of psychology which allow one to decide most things for oneself (which is only to say that for the psychologists that adhere strongly only to a single school, at least they have an account for this....unlike all the more biologically oriented health professions).

Again, I know this is acting for the politically incorrect, and it’s like shouting at the wind. And we will continue to develop the trans industry and like the UK eventually start pushing children into treatment plans where we change their gender for them if they utter something along trans lines.

But it just occurred to me that really.....we aren’t doing much science in this whole phenomenon.

Heck, everyone is doing it. The Washingtonian put this on their cover as an important woman. Transgender woman? or man hoping to get some free press?

There is no such thing as “transgender”. God made them male and female. Face facts, heathens.

She has XX chromosomes not only in her uterus but also throughout her entire body.

Ironic that these people couldn’t accept who they were, but expect us to accept who they are pretending to be.

Yes, I don’t identify as someone who recognizes that someone doesn’t identify as the sex they were born. So sorry.

It is like humoring some nut who thinks he has a six foot rabbit following him, and worse if he tells you the rabbit wants to kill you!

I've been asking the clueless kids for years what is the feminine equivalent for dude since they all misuse it.

No answers yet.

He and his mother asked for him to be referred to with his preferred name and pronouns: he, him, his.
