Of course, the Judges question unquestionably made the boy uncomfortable first. This whole thing stinks especially at this age level.

This young man’s only mistake was apologizing for giggling in response to a ridiculous question.

The iron clamp has been firmly fastened to minds. If you DARE to think unapproved thoughts, you will be destroyed. Ignorance of the officially-mandated correct thoughts is no excuse.

It’s expanding, and will at some point affect everybody.

Check out his gofund.me page, which was started to reimburse him for the entry fee and travel expenses.
This kid is laughing all the way to the bank.

“You find an attorney who’ll take you pro bono for the cause. “

I’m sure they’re out there. You’d probably find a unicorn first, though. Given the emotional investment I, at least, don’t think it’s worth it. My cases were civil, yet the other side attempted to terrorize me. I ended up moving forty miles away and the leader of the HOA gang continued to follow me home at night, and park across the street obviously masturbating. He made no attempt to hide it. He did everything the BTK killer did. He was also a deacon in the local Catholic church. The legal system was a hundred percent against me as they were all Democrats. I took videos to the prosecuting attorney who was older than some rocks. Although the Sheriff’s detectives declared what was happening stalking the District Attorney said, “Men, don’t stalk men.” Calling the cops on a stalker since they won’t do anything except shake their finger at him, is continuing a “relationship” by proxy. All stalking is about having a relationship. So, I bought a gun, learned how to use it. Eventually, as the literature suggested, he moved on to a new target.

Winning in court, other than bankrupting the HOA, was useless. After attorney’s fees there was nothing for me. The court system is not “just.” When it is, it’s an accident.

Such inclusivity displayed by the *tolerant* trans community.

I think I read that he did respond ‘he’ and ‘him’ and then giggled nervously.

That poor male child. MALE- he and him- and the POS who threw him out needs a blanket party.

“”violating their inclusive policy,”

Didn’t the judge violate the inclusive policy by asking him?
Forcing him, by intimidation, to reveal his personal gender choice to the judge?

Being offended is not a crime. It’s a personal reaction, in this case, where an authority figure went on a power trip to beat down something that wasn’t even intentional. Even if it had been intentional, so what? Unless a threat is explicitly attached, it’s nothing to turn into a tyrant over.

Did they investigate the judge? It would be an interesting way to pare down the competition. Any extra money suddenly deposited in his bank account? One can go into full conspiracy mode just as easily as going into fatally-offended mode.

If someone is into the multi-variant pronouns, they’ll usually volunteer that information loudly and proudly; if they don’t, assume what their appearance and registrations say they are. If unsure, just use the person’s name. Not a lot of reasons to use pronouns when one is a judge anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s a great question and one (or a variation of it) that everyone should have on the ready when asked similar such stupid questions. The other approach is to simply say “take your pronouns and shove them where the sun don’t shine... I’m out of here.” That’s a hard one to perhaps put out there by a 14 year old who just spent tons of money to get there.

Although this doesn’t work for a 14 year old, this kind of discussion reminds me to wear the T-shirt more often that has this message... “Don’t piss off old people...the older we get, the less life in prison is a deterrent!”

Excellent point.

Would the judge have thrown him out if he had just said, “Guess!” or “Whatever” (with eye-roll for the full effect)?
