So, by your argument, I can rightly expect a backlash that marginalize me and others even more than is the case now.

I would not frame it as rightly, not at all. But I think that outsized demands do produce a backlash. Once something is turned into a big deal, we're off to the races.

"There has been no legislation on the subject."

California court strikes down transgender pronoun law as First Amendment violation

Fastest link I could find for you that there has been pronoun legislation. Unless you are referring to Federal legislation and not state level.

>> Trans people have been bullied and marginalized for a very long time. Now they are targets, with people like Noodles piling on.

Another of your lies.

I take no issue with trans people so long as they respect reasonable boundaries, the same kinds of boundaries all teachers should respect. IF they request to be connected with particular pronouns I have no objection, but I don't ever appreciate woke-ism and public pressure and certainly not a requirement that people do so as was attempted by universities in Canada.

I'm extremely concerned about Trans school teachers who feel compelled to push what is more likely than not a poor lifestyle choice on young students. These people ought to be told their personal sexual preference is theirs and has no role in the classroom. For those who cannot control themselves, they should be summarily fired. We know it is happening.

Children -- particularly before puberty -- should not be indoctrinated by ANYONE -- parents or teachers.

These is a fuck of a lot of child abuse happening in this area today. That needs to be stopped because it is killing children -- some studies have attempted suicide rates attempting 50%. If you can't see that we are doing it wrong you're just not looking.

These kids may need counseling at some point, but when and how much is question for trained professionals, not idiot union school teachers.
