The focus of this mornings essay will be Trans in
elementary schools. Trans has, as expected, escaped the bounds of simple
gender, male female self-identification.
"What do you want to be when you grow up Johnny?" has suddenly gone from occupational, vocational question to a completely open ended question. A question that is left completely open to absolutely anything and everything. If Johnny wants to identify as a dust mote or a cat everybody is suddenly compelled to accept Johnny's delusional assertion. A teacher called a student "Despicable" for challenging another student's self-identification as a cat. It seems that this has been carried to ridiculous extremes in some grade schools. Some schools are actually putting Litter boxes in the school bathrooms for those children identifying as animals of one sort or another. It is my firm believe that if a child makes this assertion and insists that the teaching staff and the janitorial staff have to make available to this delusional child the parents of said child must be responsible for the care, cleaning and over-all maintenance of this child's litter box. And if the teachers of said child are keeping Johnny's species self-identification a secret from said child's parents then the secret keeping teacher must be responsible for the care, cleaning and over-al maintenance of this child's litter box. and the cleaning of this litter box must be handled in a VERY timely manner, meaning when Johnny or Janie takes a shit in their litter box the teacher must come behind the shit taking child immediately and clean it up. And when I say clean I mean that the shit must be collected in a plastic bag and disposed of in their home, NOT on school grounds. And this means that the plastic bag containing Johnny's or Janie's shit may NOT be disposed of in any school waste can, garbage can, or dumpster on school grounds or anywhere other than the teacher's home or Johnny's or Janie's parents home. It is my recommendation that the teacher should dispose of the plastic bag containing Johnny's or Janie's fecal mater at Johnny's or Janie's home. Front yard or garbage totter makes no never-mind to me. But if any ADULTS are going to play along with and feed into Johnny's or Janie's delusion they must be responsible for ANY and ALL non-normal situations that arise from Johnny's or Janie's delusion. If Johnny or Janie insist that they are a cat, dog, hamster, guinea pig they should be given a bath like the house hold pet then they should be bathed and flea dipped just like any cat or dog might be. And Johnny or Janie insist that they self-identify at a hamster or guinea pig that they must sleep in a litter bed. And they should be fed the appropriate cat, dog hamster, guinea pig chow.
[debunked] Even though this litter box story is untrue it is so completely believable because of the "Despicable" story. I firmly believe that the teacher must be made to apologize to 'Despicable' girl in front of the class and in writing for such a harsh condemnation in class. This teacher didn't stop there. read the story the teacher made a 'Federal case' out of the situation. The teacher involved the school administrators and... Oh Shit just read this story. This teacher must be compelled to drive to 'Despicable' girls home and apologize to her and her parents. Further this teacher must be made to give a detailed explanation for this apology. Explaining why she so harshly sided with 'cat' girl's assertion that she claimed to be cat. Further more this teacher must be receptive to the parents response to this outrageous behavior in her class. This teacher should be dismissed with extreme prejudges. This teacher Should have been ADULT enough [Adults are characterized by maturity, self-confidence, autonomy, solid decision-making, and are generally more practical, multi-tasking, purposeful, self-directed, experienced, and less open-minded and receptive to change] to entertain 'Despicable' girl's question equal weight as 'cat' girl and her assertion of cat-self-identification. 'Despicable' girl didn't bully 'cat' girl she simply asked a completely reasonable question given the startling nature of the 'cat' girls claim of cat-self-identification. How could 'Despicable' girl possibly be prepared to hear such a claim at thirteen years of age. Claiming to be a cat and demanding to treated as a cat is so completely outside all norms in any school especially at this grade level. And while we are asking questions about 'cat' girl's assertion about being cat, how is it possible that 'cat' girl could have previously been a girl and now, today suddenly is a cat? How is it possible that this cat can speak? How is it possible that this cat is learning in class alongside non-cats? How is it possible that this cat walks upright on two human feet, not paws with claws. Why is this cat wearing shoes and clothing and is exhibiting No whiskers, No fur, No tail or any other typical feline traits? There are SoooOOOooo many questions. Questions that 'Despicable' girl had every right to ask and every right to have answered. 'Asshole' teacher just completely tap-danced around this land-mine and go right to calling her "Despicable". This is the kind of 'teaching that shuts down all legitimate investigation. Don't question anything, just shut up, keep your head down and do as I say or else.I imagine that because of the fucked up nature of the education system that our youth are saddled with today "Don't question Authority" is a sign that should be hanging over the door header. Much like "Know Thy Self" but more likely "Abandon hope all ye who enter here".
Derail alert.
I
say this about anybody, absolutely anybody, that decides to step
outside of generally accepted norms. They should/must be prepared for
push-back. They must have thick skin. They must be prepared to deal with this
push-back. And the further from the norm the more withering the
push-back is going to be. They must be prepared to
accept this push-back. Getting irate doesn't help your situation. YOU have unilaterally taken this step outside the norm. Unless you are so COMpletely 'passing' you should ware a sign alerting those around you of what your preferred pronouns are. Confusing people is a non-starter on your part. You are just looking for a fight.
Again the further from the norm, the more outrageous your deviation, the more withering reaction is going to be.
Newton's third law. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A acts a force upon object B, then object B will exert an opposite yet equal force upon object A.
If object A is a not even remotely convincingly passing man who asserts that he is a woman and has his phone setup to record the interaction. And if object A encounters object B. Object B being a member of the wait staff at a restaurant. And object B mistakenly 'miss-gender's object A, because of their voice tone and general countenance. Object A should be aware that they are not at all convincingly passing and suck it up and understand that they are presenting a confusing countenance and live with their choice and understand the ramifications of this choice.
