Topic	28 y/o UGLY Indiana Teacher QUITS because he REFUSES to Acknowledge TRANS KIDS!

Not to mention, as a teacher, you have to be use to saying many different names for all the students. It was probably a somewhat common name. He may have even had another student with the same name... No? I feel like if someone knew Todd for 2 years then he/she is asking them to call him/her Tabitha out of the blue one day, they might find that a little difficult to, pardon the phrasing, transition their day-to-day speech in a way that's natural and comfortable. It's a strange concept for some people and bashing them over the head (not saying you are) won't help with making this a mainstream piece of culture. There's a very significant difference, however, between having trouble remembering a name or pronoun change and refusing to acknowledge the change. Most people are pretty understanding of how hard it can be to break habits once they're formed. That's not what's being objected to here. So long as you respect the request enough to make an effort, you're not part of the problem. Revelation34 posted... BlackScythe0 posted... He submitted a tentative resignation because officials threatened to fire him Well they're idiots for threatening to fire him. You wouldn't fire a teacher who was abusing one of his students? --- This is my signature.
