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
40

If the same 6 year old kid went to school saying I hate black people you all would agree that it isn't the childs own opinion on their racism, instead it was something they most likely than not learned from their parents.

Much like this transgender identity. At the age of 6 you're incredibly impressionable, if your parents are telling you that you're an XYZ at the age of 6 you're going to believe you're an XYZ


what side are you even arguing for?

so people won't be gay if parents tell them they're straight

Even if the parents are dumb and are encouraging a confusing subject the teacher has no place to cause issues with it. The teacher should just call the child by their name and not even use labels but they decided to be difficult


You're being dumb, at the age of 6 in school teachers do a lot of group tasks, Boys do X girls do Y. If the teacher said Boys do X and the child stood up and the teacher saw a 6 year old girl stand up they'd probably say uhhh.... Christina I said Boys not girls, what are you doing.

hey, i used to play games believing i was an animal or a mermaid or some and my dad encouraged me to mess around.

but at school and after playtime? i knew i wasn't any of those. i knew i was a boy!

shut up, and nobody cares.

here is my internet opinion

being that this is like first grade, kids don't know a lot of really fundamental basics and i wouldn't be surprised if a well-meaning teacher just thinks a kid is confused from media and junk like that because kids are really malleable that young and generally don't think about that sort of nonsense when they're all practically the same anyway

i dont know anything about this particular situation though because im not clicking on an article from world star hiphop .com

i'm not tryna sound like an ahole or anything, but isn't this one of the issues that people who were against homosexual couples adopting brought up?


You need to delete that one mate lmao


the thread or the post? lol


Both, comparing the parenting abilities of gay vs straight couples is just dumb and ignorant. This whole thread is mute because its about a 6 year old, they can't even do multiplication yet let alone decide their gender and sexual preferences. To be honest we might as well ask them about string theory or some other complicated subject that makes my little ignorant brain hurt.


so what you're saying is i'm right...

I had a talk with some 15 year old and she told me that she's gonna try and not force any gender identity on her baby, and I was confused about how she would go about that and she merely replied 'I'll let them figure it out!'

I feel bad for the kid.

Can you put something together that makes sense to read?


i read it and it does make sense but they organized their words in such an expertly confusing way that you misread it every time


To be fair, I got the gist of it so I just skimmed through it. Ultimately, I just wanted to call it a bad post.

i also don't get it, if you got a pecker your a boy, if you got a damp cave your a girl. That's all there is too it. You can be a gay girl or boy and that's fine by me, but once you start saying your not a girl when your clearly a girl then your just lying to your self

it doesn't really matter if the kid can or can't decide their gender, transgender people are real and exist. it is not up to the teacher to decide if the kid is transgendered or not and as long as the kid is serious about being addressed by the other gender the teacher should respect their wishes


but it's up to the parents to assign a gender to the kid?

hi as one of those Evil Misunderstand Transgenders you all seem to be so afraid of referring to id like to say:

anyone claiming the parents forced it on the child should consider that mental abuse rather than "ha ha just bad parenting" in forcing their child into a gender role. otherwise, guess what?

YOU'RE TRANSPHOBIC!

now, you don't want to be transphobic, do you? then maybe shut the hell up and realize hey, not referring to someone what they want to be called is kind of a move! sort of dehumanizing! and you're going but wait i haven't done this then guess what? you're not a part of the problem!

but riley, you may say in anguish, that is totally irrelevant had you just read! oh, then, why does this blanantly transphobic topic exist? why must it be called into question that maybe ignoring what someone idenfites with is kind of cruel? sorry i don't want to go through page of page of more-than-plausible transphobia and just be blunt with you all.

/thread, and also, side note! i knew i was a boy from a very young age. so young it seems as though i was born knowing, while being raised in a totally neutral environment from *my parents*.


Can you put something together that makes sense to read?


sorry your ability to read has been handicapped by humor and satire?


Alternatively, it was just a bad post.


it looks like, with felons, me calling you out as backed you into a corner you cannot get out of. it's okay, friend. we all make mistakes.

I want everyone who voted no and is seriously trying to tell me that it isn't the parents who are pushing the gender on the child to do the following:


Go to any 6 year old child you know

Ask them what gender they are. When they give you an answer ask them how they know and I assure you the answer will be "because Mommy told me"


mommy gave you your gender identity lol

its irrelevant
if a child is happy being addressed a certain way then let him
