If a child or an adult has a psychological problem and wants to cross dress and be called a man or a woman then I think it's a form of medieval witchcraft to get judgemental about it and condemn them as evil and dangerous.

Drag leaves me cold, doesn't float my boat, but hey, live and let live. Of course there are only two sexes but in some people's heads something goes wrong and they don't feel comfortable in their biologically assigned sex. It's just a part of life. We don't damn and condemn autistic people or people with other neurological disorders so why single out this form of illness? Incidentally, The Sun and The Daily Fail ran hysterical, rabid stories about kids identifying with cats and being provided with litter trays. There were other such myths doing the rounds. An investigative journalist followed up each reported case both here and in America and there was absolutely no substance whatsoever in any of the reports. Live and let live.

The man was told to call a child plural words,that's not teaching,that's not his job,its a radical ideology. Why should he partake in such abuse of children with a mental disorder called dysmorphia? Answer me this if the same child wanted to mutilate his/her genitals to transition,would you agree to that too? That's exactly what my Mrs recons it is ...body dysmorphia... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You mention autism mate, my youngest son is autistic and guess what ?……he knows he is autistic and that means his brain functions a little bit differently and that it means he reacts differently to things in daily life…..he knows it, he understands it and he learns how to measure himself in social situations every day to make his life easier because we have talked about it with him. We didn’t say “It’s completely normal to only ware your underpants when we go to Tesco” because he don’t like being dressed at home…..it wouldn’t do him any favours to say “Yeah, that’s fine out in the world” and he understands why. Theres no cruelty in kind honesty. Beating up a man dressed as a girl isn’t even on the same planet as calling him “him” and yet that is the mental leap some of these loons are making. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My eldest grandson has autism and is now in his early 20s and he knows as from a young age my daughter and me and his grandmother did exactly the same mate when he was growing up and i know for a cert he would call some one a man or a woman or boy or girl not some silly name that someone who does not wish to identify with either. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here's the thing tho,the teacher didnt bully the waine,he refused to use pronouns,that's it,he didnt singlrme the child out or make them feel different. Why not just get the child help for there illness like we used to do instead of playing along with there illness an pretending it's normal? Where does it end,if your child came in one day an said,I want to identify as non binary an said I dint want to be called by my birth name,I not a boy or a girl,would you go along with it or try an help with the problem. Another question,would you agree with a boy identifying as a girl an wanting to use the girls toilets with there pronouns being her she? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Life is a broad church. I've met lots of people in my 75 years who don't fit the template. I don't believe in a one size fits all approach to people. Some of my favourite people are ' different ' or pursue different lifestyles. It's the good side of living in a relatively free society. I suspect the teacher wanted to present himself as Jesus's representive holding up the flame of virtue. Jesus as a historical figure definitely existed. I am a fan of his but I dont believe he was God. Jesus hung out with the poor, the prostitutes and the lepers. He wouldn't want that teacher thinking he was representing his values. Jesus accepted everybody and preached love. He didn't condemn those who were different. He believed in acceptance. The teacher is preaching the opposite.

An jesus also said he created them Male an female,very clear on this. He also said we were created in his image,so a child wanting to be named or dressed in the opposite sex I dont think he would approve of,but that's not to say he would bully them or anything,I dont agree with it all,but I definatley wouldn't bully anyone over it especially a child.

That’s very kind way of looking at it, and I totally get it……but, here’s the question: If you are forced to lie about something obvious, what else are you prepared to gloss over with a lie ?…….why should you be forced to lie in the first place ? Calling a him “him” isn’t violence or bullying……a self harmer isn’t decorating their body, you don’t say “what a lovely pattern”…..you say “I don’t think that’s right” and if asked why you say “Because they obviously have issues and need help because that’s hurting them” You don’t lie and say it’s all good, their choice……maybe you should ?, maybe you should be sacked for stopping them self harming ? I don’t know, but not in my world is that a thing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the decision may gave been taken on the advice of a child psychiatrist in consultation with the headmaster. Maybe the child is threatening suicide or self harm, so allowing the body dysmorphia or whatever the problem is, is the best way forward. Best not to judge is my belief. Anyway I'm out mate.

Again, in this instance the bloke wasn’t judging, he just refused to lie based on his religious conviction which from what I can see amounted to saying “him or her” to a him or her…….I don’t think the bloke was speaking in tongues or dipping them in water !
