What do you guys think about this situation with this gym teacher?
Per a rule that would require teachers and other school staff to address "gender-expansive or transgender students" with their preferred name, pronouns and gender? Is doing so lying to the student in question, or just being civil and accomodating the kid's personal self-identification?

Re: Gender, Bender, Blender and Schools
Jordan Peterson has been fighting against this same kind of issue in Canada. There was a bill proposed in Canada, if passed, would force people to use pronouns of the person’s choice. Forcing speech is unconstitutional.

Re: Gender, Bender, Blender and Schools
I recently filled out a census questionnaire in which I was asked my gender. There were 3 choices:
Female
Male
Other
...so the rot of common sense has started.

Re: Gender, Bender, Blender and Schools
I find it very strange that those who insist that gender doesn't truly exist or that it's an optional decision also claim that a status such as "non-binary" DOES exist. That makes no sense whatsoever. What's really going on here? Somewhere along the line, I'd say the people who make such claims about themselves are typically emotionally damaged or have been victims of abuse. And then others insist it just to seem hip or woke or whatever. Strange world we live in.FlieG: I recently filled out a census questionnaire in which I was asked my gender. There were 3 choices:
