In British Columbia, a teachers strike has closed schools across the province. The two sides have dug in, for how long no one knows. But thats not the only battle raging through the schools these days. Theres also the fight over gender-neutral pronouns.
After weeks of bitter debate, the Vancouver School Board has finally passed a sweeping new policy to recognize the needs of societys newest oppressed group the transgendered. Now, kids who feel that their gender expression may not align with their biological sex will have the right to be referred to as xe, xem and xyr instead of the misleading gender-binary terms he or she, him or her and his or hers.
Were standing up for kids and making our schools safer and more inclusive, board member Mike Lombardi told the Vancouver Sun.
The new policy will allow students to play on the sports team that they think best fits their gender identity. Theyll also be able to choose a gender-neutral washroom if they dont like the ones that match the gender they were born with. School officials will not be obliged to inform the parents if a child is having gender-orientation issues.

Think I’ll just stick with PERVERT!
I had to check to see if this was satire. Sad what’s going on in this world.
Absolutely not. Go corrupt somebody else’s language.
Besides isn't dummy or it good enough for these crazies?
These people are crazy. If they decided they where a plant would we be required to water and talk to them daily? Why on Earth are we required to accept and even celebrate what is a serious psychological illness. They need help not celebration and acceptance.
There are no real girls or boys, just misinformed sexually unadventurous children. The real important people are those that feel different and need acceptance.
What are you Some sort of BIGOT!?
What they need is a rubber room and serious anti-psychotic medication.
I guess calling a “transgendered” a faggot could no longer be considered a slur then.
When liberals run things, everything inevitably leads to societal chaos and disaster.
My financial expression is not aligned with my bank account. I wanna call myself a bazillionaire, and I demand that society stop oppressing me and allow me to take whatever I want from any store that I want.
and to make normal heterosexuals feel guilty.
