“The arguments referencing the risk of homosexuality and abortion may well be welcome and normal within the context of [his] private life and views. However they are disgraceful when used in the present context. The balance of [the teacher’s] arguments are borne from unrealistic hysteria and we need not go into them further.”
Brutal. Good on them for sending such a strong message about their low opinion of bigoted teachers.
The fact is, if being trans isn’t a legally valid reason to change your name, then the law is the problem. And what the law says isn’t relevant anyway. It has nothing to do with what a teacher can call their student.
Absolutely, I was just rambling about his lack of knowledge about legal name changes despite claiming to know.
I completely understand. That kind of thing irks me far more than I wish it did.
