If you misgender transgender woman (biological male) and they ask you to use she/her pronouns when referring to them, will you?
The bar is “don’t be an ■■■■■■■■ and I don’t think that’s a high one. And both sides should respect that… that is if a transgender person is misgendered, they should politely correct you, not “get all huffy” and like wise if you misgender a transgender person and they politely correct you you should try to use the correct pronouns. This idea that all transgender people will starting yelling at you the first time you misgender them is a anti-trans myth. Most transgender people will only get “huffy” if you keep doing it over and over again or you are doing it intentionally.
And I thoroughly reject any effort by so called educators and left wing kooks to indoctrinate children with transgender ism. Kids need to learn the basics in school…reading and math and stuff
Which is why there is value in educating the ignorant adults about transgender people. It’s the same amount of “indoctrination” that we use to teach kids to be nice to people who are different, be it a difference of sex, gender, skin color, religion, ability, etc.
If you want to call it indoctrination, then fine… I proudly support indoctrinating children into being polite to people who are different.

Yet. It would take so much less time and energy just to be a nice person.
What does “gender identity” mean to you?
They do know what sex and gender they are. You just disagree with the gender part.
And again, if the parents didn’t go public about it, they wouldn’t have names needing to be defended. We don’t even know how to investigation is going to turn out, do we?

I cannot see what you are trying to connect.

What the school is setting / has set the stage to disparage some middle school kids?
Feels are not reals. A male is a male, a female a female … aside from the rare genetic defect there is nothing else besides that except for madness. That includes those medically mutilated.

“Right wing media tells the right what to think”. “Left wing media tell the left what to think.”

What are you saying about Mr. Carlson?
Disparage where? Does the middle school have a Wall of Shame that they list students who have gotten in trouble?
How do you know that for sure?

Could affect college choices or acceptance into college at all.

What are you saying. Don’t give me a link tell me what you are saying
I don’t think colleges are that concerned about whether or not applicants got in trouble in middle school.
Tucker Carlson is part of the right wing media. The right believes that the left is being told what to think by the left wing media. The left believes the right is being told what to think by the right wing media. STODR made a reference to left wing media telling the left what to think, so I made a reference to the right wing media telling the right what to think.
So when one side accuses the other side of being feed opinions from the media, they are being hypocritical because it happens on both sides.
