quote:

Peter Vlaming, who was a French teacher at West Point High School, said he was fired because he would not use pronouns such as "him" and "his" to refer to a female student who was transitioning to male.




quote:

According to the suit filed Monday in King William County, using the male pronouns would have "violated" Vlaming's "conscience" and went against his religious beliefs, so he called the student by his preferred name during class and avoided using pronouns altogether.



quote:

The suit also states that Vlaming was accused of using female pronouns when discussing the student to other people and during one incident in class, Vlaming referred to the student as "her."

History is going to judge us poorly on this transgender crap. We are feeding into insane peoples’ delusions.

I saw one in Savannah a few weeks ago. It was hosting at a decent little restaurant and cocktail bar. Very clearly a female....with scraggly facial hair you'd see on a high school stoner. It was weird.

Because they fired the teacher for using the "wrong" pronoun.

Uhhh, probably because the dude wants to keep his job instead of being fired for calling a girl, “her”.

The whole idea behind it is absurd.

If someone came in and told you they were a horse, would you nail shoes to their feet, put a bit in their mouth and strap a saddle on them?

The teacher deserves to win but this “misgendering” / “deadnaming” whining is out of fricking control.

Her momma called her Clara, I’mma call her Clara.

Dude, I bookmarked your rant from last year when someone called you a racist and you were telling them sarcastically how racist you were.

I read it again last night and was legit crying laughing at it.
