The virtual school says its hands are tied due to Florida’s “don’t say gay” law. However, the teacher has lodged a complaint against it.

    Using neutral language, yes, like neutral bathrooms. The title is a way to be neither, and no title achieves the same result.

      So, then you don’t support using preferred gendered affirming pronouns.

          So you support gender affirming pronouns, just not gender affirming titles. Makes sense.

            Usage of ‘they’ has proliferated to the extent that most people seem to grasp its usage.

              OK?

              Most people have always grasped its usage because it has always been used. That’s usually something that has to be explained to bigots.

              But that isn’t the same thing as respecting the usage of personal preferences for gendered pronouns and titles. Which is also something that has to be explained to bigots. And that is what this thread is about.

                  I dunno. The proposition to nullify peoples preferences seems counterproductive. Frankly, it feels similar to the authoritarian approach taken in the article.
