You know what alternative there is to all of this?
The alternative is to neither speak to, nor about, a trans person at all; as if they do not exist.
Look, if you must use improper words when speaking to them or about them; if you are legally bound to use words that violate your right of conscience, then your only place of refuge is SILENCE in regard to them. You cannot mention them, nor address them; you act, instead, as if they simply do not exist.
So, now, ask the self-mis-gendered person which is worse: to be addressed in terms they don’t prefer, or to not be addressed at all?
I’m an uneducated white deplorable. I would just call it....Hey dipschitt.....
Doesn’t matter- the communist objective is to silence. They really do not care about these mentally messed up people.
I am trying to get my mind around when the teacher would use the pronoun. He would say “John (used to be Mary), what is the answer to this question. That is right”. So only if the teacher was speaking ABOUT John would it even be necessary to use a pronoun. How often would that even happen. Did this happen in front of the parents at a parent-teacher interview. “John, well she is doing pretty well in Math.”
To be crude about it, you look down at your groin, and that is how normal people figure out if they are a she or he.
I don't know why anyone would want to be around them, period. At least knowingly.
They will find a way to criminalize that: depersoning someone by refusing to address him/her/it.
