Hi. Yesterday we were told on Monday we are getting a student that is transitioning. I will not be using pronouns anymore. I teach music and have the student twice a week.

The bathroom issue is the thing. I share a boys and girls bathroom with my teacher neighbor. She doesn’t want to make the bathrooms unisex and just have them go one at a time. I do not want to send a little girl into the boys bathroom because it is affirming the delusion. I think when it’s all said and done I will probably not have a job.

Totally disagree with you. And if teachers, who are also TRUE Christians don’t see anything wrong with these issues, than they don’t know what God’s words says, nor do they put HIS authority above social norms.

We have a 2nd grader who is “transitioning” in our school as well. We were told we can still call him (“her”) by the nickname they used last year (which could be used for a male or female) so I will be doing that. I will also be trying NOT to use male/female references in that particular class. Where I am more concerned is the bathroom issue. If my own child went to the same school and was a of the opposite gender I would be concerned. Why is it that these families get to put everyone else in an awkward situation because of how this one child “feels” about who God designed them to be? It’s really not fair to the majority. It is like if I told the entire school that my son prefers to wear a B.B. gun to school. If he can do it, what message does that send to other kids? That it’s ok for them to do it too? (ie. other boys going in the girls bathroom)… I don’t agree with it at all and as a Christian teacher it really puts us in a strange position. We need to protect others from mental and physical injury. I feel bad for this boy who thinks he’s a girl now. I feel bad that his parents think it’s just the best thing ever! And,unlike the man who did the gender surgery, I hope they encourage this boy to see who he truly is in God’s eyes before it gets that far. Poor kiddo.

It isn’t necessarily society that’s encouraging gay and transgender lifestyles. It’s the LGBT community themselves who are seeking to criminalize the Christian viewpoint, and make it unlawful for a Christian, pastor, or anyone to say anything other than something favoring the gay, transgender -sex change path. They are extending this big infomercial to all our young people–that this is the only way you can truly find sexual fulfillment, is to totally abandon all Judeo-Christian restraints on sexual behavior. And no, God does not condone homosexuality–it is an abomination to Him. Or homosexual marriage, much less rejecting the gender God created a person to be in a futile attempt to become what you can’t become.

I heard about a real situation where a teacher was instructed to address transgender students by their ‘chosen’ identity–pronoun, name, etc. This teacher struggled how to respond, and was given an ultimatum to address the students how they wanted to be addressed, or resign with pay over the summer, or be fired. So, is a teacher to go along with this p.c. ‘kindness?’ Or start looking for another job?
