I refuse to address students as their chosen pronouns/names as well. I just call it a teen fad and tell them I use the name that the government sends me. This really pisses them off.

A just outcome for the prof. It is just a shame the educated “woke” imbeciles who lead this poor excuse for a university wasted tax payer’s money. Surprisingly this school is in Portsmouth, Ohio. One of the redder areas in a red state.
So they don’t have to engage in a mental case’s psychological fantasies. This is a step back in the right direction. It’s also a decision in favor of sanity.
When the professor declined to use female pronouns, the student became belligerent and told Meriwether he would be fired...

This is what’s is really behind this pronoun crap; an attempt to exert control over others with the threat of termination.
I continue to assert that no one owns the third person pronouns by which he is referenced. Thats other people talking to each other.
Hopefully, lesson learned.
The school settled, so they don’t have to make any changes to their policies. And what is $400k, pocket change.
Now there’s legal precedent.
Good.
Good. Now do this everywhere else
U know a guy who decided to live his life as a woman. Changed his first name from John to Joanie. I have no problem calling him Joanie, but refuse to refer to him as a feminine pronoun.
He’s a male; and never will be a female. He’s been putting on the pounds ever since he started taking female hormones. He has probably put on 80 pounds in 4-5 years, and I don’t think that’s going to stop any time soon. He’s really filling out.
Simply refuse to identify as its teacher.
The philosophy (reality) teacher would be the expert here.
Not enough.
What’s this mean now? We recently had a man decide he was a woman at my job. We’ve all been informed we have to call him a woman’s name, and the entire company has now had pro-LGBT training thrown in our faces. The last one was 100% propaganda in helping these people “come out” in the work place.
Does this mean I do not have to abide?
Good for him.
