Some of y'all are getting really upset at the idea of Schools and Teachers not narking on kids who change their pronouns or identify as trans.

I think you're wrong to be upset.

I think at this time it's for a child's safety that their choice of pronouns or expressed gender identity not be relayed to the parents.
Why?
Because if the child wanted their parents to know then they would tell them. The child might not feel comfortable telling their parent just because it's awkward but it could also be a much more substantial fear of repercussions, punishment or even harm.

You have only to see how some people in this debate advocate hate and even execution to understand why it is worrying to out a trans child to certain kinds of parent.

Stop the hate.
Keep kids safe.

You mean teachers who are so concerned for the kids’ safety that some also have sex with some as young as 12?

Those teachers?

@RedBaron

How is this relevant?

@Pikachu They are some of the teachers you’re talking about. There are stories in the news about it at least once a week.
@RedBaron

lol great, so we can both agree pedophiles are bad. Moving on, did you have anything relevant to contribute?

@Pikachu Moving on, are you sure you’re being judgmental and condescending enough?

I highly doubt it, give us some links on teachers who hide kid's trans identities from their parents on account of safety but those teachers were really molesting those children?

According to you, there's news stories that come out EVERY week so you should be able to find at least ten right off the bat easy.

And no, not just "any" story of a pedophile teacher will count, it has to be related to Pikachu's post.

Thank you 🤗

@SatanBurger No it doesn’t. The post is essentially about teachers being concerned for their students’ safety, and that’s what I questioned.

Not that I owe you any explanation.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@RedBaron You can't make claims and then say you don't owe anyone any explanation, it's not up to me to find your sources. The post has something to do with not letting parents know their children is trans out of concerns for children's safety. You then claimed that there was news about "those" teachers molesting children "every week."

"Those" teachers i.e. according to you the "same" teachers that Pikachu here is talking about.

Just admit you got nothing, you got no sources, you don't got shit.
RedBaron · M
@SatanBurger Yes I can, and it’s not for you to dictate what I can and cannot say.

If you don’t like it, go pound sand.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@RedBaron Then don't make claims if you don't have anything.

@SatanBurger Thanks for the edit. We disagree, but I thought you were above the name-calling, unlike others on here.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@RedBaron I did think about it and knew I didn't want to be like that with you. I don't really hate you to be honest.
RedBaron · M
@SatanBurger Ideally, none of us should be like that with anyone, but we’re not perfect.

I’ve done it as well, but I decided to try to be better about it. So I googled how to respond to personal attacks and found this interesting item.

https://www.quora.com/How-to-defend-against-and-respond-to-an-ad-hominem-attack-both-how-to-prevent-your-opponent-from-making-the-attack-and-how-to-respond

I keep it open in a separate tab and use it in situations like this one. It helps me sidestep my impulse to respond in kind and sometimes, but not always, diffuses the animosity/hostility. At the very least, it keeps me centered so I don’t fly off the handle for no good reason.
@RedBaron

are you sure you’re being judgmental and condescending enough?

I'm happy to move on from that if you're happy to make a response that isn't asking about pedophile teachers.
Or if you insist on talking about pedophile teachers, maybe you can explain why you feel that is a pertinent thing to bring up.
RedBaron · M
@Pikachu Because I felt like it.
@RedBaron

🤣Well if you felt like saying something that had any bearing on the subject we might be farther along now lol.
Oh well.
RedBaron · M
@Pikachu We’re far enough along.
@RedBaron

Wish i could say the same about your ability to reason🙂
@RedBaron

Ah sorry for saying that. I think your original comment was asinine but sorry for getting mean about it.
RedBaron · M
@Pikachu Thank you.

There’s way too much meanness on here and other sites.

I wish people would stop and breathe for a moment before tossing off yet another personal attack.
