So this horrible secondary school teacher here refused to call a student by their chosen name

And insisted on referring to the student by their dead name and also refused to use their chosen they/them, he was suspended from his job and also refused to accept the suspension and turned up at school last week and continued with the abuse, he's now gone to prison.. Story attached, kind of shocking tbh..

Something tells me he wouldn't be too happy if someone started referring to him as "she" and "her". Somehow then, pronouns would be more of an issue than he thought.

Using someone's preferred pronouns doesn't cost you anything. There is no reason to create a hostile environment. I've had no problem referring to a non-binary friend of mine as "they". This is something that many younger people don't take issue with and I wonder why it needs to be blown so out of proportion. 馃

The fact is, this isn't really about pronouns and language. It's about having a problem with trans and non-binary people.

@SW-User of course it is, and well stated by the way,

he's purposefully showing up at the school despite being suspended with full pay, he really just wants to bully that teenager

@SW-User A great conclusion and even better example to make it easy to understand. Well done!

@SW-User whenever someone thinks proper pronoun usage isn't a big deal, start casually referring to God as 'she' and watch how quickly it becomes a big deal
