A former Texas educator filed a federal discrimination complaint against a learning center in Katy, Texas, after being fired for refusing to address a 6-year-old girl as a transgender boy.The boys parents were a same sex couple

Thoughts? o.O

Was the teacher justified in calling the student a girl

its arguable that people shouldnt be pressing gender on their children in general, but thats kind of beside the point

while i dont think you should put a kid on hormones per say at age six, i think that a child exploring their gender identity should be validated.

the sexuality of their parents is irrelevant in this case, but even though i watched the video there wasnt anything suggesting that their parents were pushing masculinity onto their child.

Do you believe the parents more likely than not pushed the sexuality onto the girl? At the age of 6 I don't think I was self identifying either way, so do you think it is possibly a political statement?


Same sex parents, transgender 6 year old.

Nah, no correlation whatsoever.


I mean, at the age of 6 Drake knew he was The Man... so maybe it is possible

The teacher has no right to put a say into how the parents are raising their child. But with that being said, i dont think a 6 year old child has a firm grasp on sexuality and gender meanings, and their parents pushing on it may make them confused later on. But what do i know, i'm just a loser who plays em

or, being open-minded enough to do so, let their kid express themselves however they like


Comments like this are why the LGBT community has enemies.
