Wow, just... wow.
I saw this news online.
‘Silent civil war’: Irish teacher jailed for refusing to call boy a girl (msn.com)
This teacher has not only lost his job but is jailed indefinitely for failing to comply and call a boy a girl. Or use the term 'they'.
I particularly dislike the term 'they' for one person as the term is plural. The word 'it' would be more appropriate, in fact, or if someone is really uncomfortable, just call the child by name.
But the part that resonates with me is further down in the report, where it says that we are at the stage of compelling people to say things they don't believe in.
I'm not arguing the rights or wrongs of someone 'transitioning'.
Just saying we should allow people their personal beliefs. Calling the child by name or 'him' is not a crime worth jailing anyone for, it is a travesty of justice.
