Sure there are. But not in the way that "wrong pronouns" are often used in this debate.Proposal:
There's no such thing as wrong pronouns. Only gaslighting people about their perception of binary sex.

I will ask the same question I asked on that article..... "How the ◊◊◊◊ can a five-year old be trans-identified?"
A five year old doesn't even know what pronouns ARE.
Looking over the complaint, it wasn't the kid that demanded that she be called a he. The parents demanded it.A five year old doesn't even know what pronouns ARE.

News articles here; original opinion here.Judge has scrapped Biden's Title IX expansion to cover trans kids.
If Liberals (Labour in my county, Democrats in the US) ever want to gain power again, they really need to get themselves out of this transgender self ID hole they have dug themselves into.Basically, Title IX was written to take into account actual sex differences, not intended to abolish or ignore them. The reinterpretation of the Biden-era DOE changes the meaning and effect of those laws so much as to constitute an unlawful "attempt to bypass the legislative process."
I'm kind of torn on that story. She shouldn't have been fired but......I will ask the same question I asked on that article..... "How the ◊◊◊◊ can a five-year old be trans-identified?"
I'm not torn at all. I hope that teacher takes the school district to the cleaners.I'm kind of torn on that story. She shouldn't have been fired but......
Based on my experience, 5 your olds have very fixed ideas about the binary of sex and gender and they are very certain of the binary. My boy tends to grow his hair long. At about 5 he had short hair and his 5 year old cousin saw a picture of him as a 4 year old with long hair, "That's you when you were a girl!" Far more common an attitude among fiver year olds than not from what I've seen. Also, 5 year olds occasionally identify as cats, dogs, dragons......
Near certainty.I'm not torn at all. I hope that teacher takes the school district to the cleaners.
And based on my experience, five-year olds barely know that gender is even a thing and have NO idea what pronouns are (they haven't even started to learn grammar yet).
I would almost guarantee this is being entirely driven by the parents.
Note in particular the essentially party-line vote (two Democrats voted in favor, no Republicans voted against) yesterday on banning trans athletes from women's and girl's sports at federally funded schools.That doesn't seem particularly likely, given the partisan polarization of these issues in the U.S.
It's spelled out as such in the complaint.Near certainty.
A kindergarten teacher will refer to other students in the room while teaching, using each other as examples and posing questions, like "what color is her hair?" and if a student says the "wrong" pronoun when referring to another student, the teacher is expected to "correct" it.ETA: seriously, when is this even an issue? During the parent teacher conference? When would the teacher actually being addressing the childe by a pronoun?
Good point.It's spelled out as such in the complaint.

Yes, and that is literally the easiest case! Non-partisans can easily see the unfairness of Lia Thomas bumping young women from podiums and record books; you have to be steeped in critical social justice ideology to miss it.Note in particular the essentially party-line vote (two Democrats voted in favor, no Republicans voted against) yesterday on banning trans athletes from women's and girl's sports at federally funded schools.
Seeing odd bits of video from congress this past week or so... I'm inclined to think their strategy is to just keep on digging in hopes that they'll come out the other side of the planet and can then redefine the antipode as "On Top" even though it will be underwater somewhere in the Indian Ocean.If Liberals (Labour in my county, Democrats in the US) ever want to gain power again, they really need to get themselves out of this transgender self ID hole they have dug themselves into.

Strange bedfellows indeed.Nobody else going to mention that even a stopped clock is right twice a day?

Trump is disgusting in so many ways, but women's rights are under so much attack these days, I'll take this wherever it comes from. On the day when an Australian court ruled that lesbians have no legal right to exclude men from their events.
ChatGPT probablyThis is just fantastic. I don't know who wrote it but it sure as hell wasn't Trump.
We'll see. You sex-deniers seemed to win a hell of a lot of battles over the past few years, but reality has a habit of reasserting itself.
At least the GOP knows exactly whom they intend to force into motherhood—against their will—in all fifty states.
"Anyone celebrating this news should probably be aware that they're only so keen to create a firm legal definition of a woman for when they start passing other laws down the line to take women's rights away", according to a TRA on the other forum I belong to.
Precisely this.If anyone considers this was done to protect women's rights they are very mistaken.
Well, it was written by "May Mailman", former Director of Independent Women's Law Center, now Deputy Assistant to the President.This is just fantastic. I don't know who wrote it but it sure as hell wasn't Trump. It's incisive, clear and comprehensive.
