Yea then it's ridiculous. God forbid a mentally ill child (and before you start on me about that, Gender Dysphoria is classified as a mental illness) not be catered to when the teacher has 150+ other students to deal with on a daily basis. What happens if 10 or more of them have their 'preferred pronouns' and need to be catered to in that way just to avoid having a mental breakdown? You think a teacher wants to keep track of all that when they have so much more on their plate?

I'm all for being whatever you want to be as long as it doesn't negatively affect the people around you. This kid is trans, whatever, they can deal with that itself, but a teacher lost his career over that bullshit, and that's not okay.
