  • I’d like to make it clear that while it is often the case that schools may misinterpret or take steps to be extra cautious as to not get in trouble with the law, these parts are fully spelled out pretty much exactly as the above post states. Teachers are not allowed to state their own pronouns to students, and may not correct anyone, student or staff, if they use the wrong ones for anyone that are not what was assigned at birth.

    Some schools take it as far as not even allowing teachers to use other pronouns for students who ask (you’re allowed but can not be required to), or even won’t allow any student to use ANY nickname or alternative name that is not DIRECTLY tied to a shortening of their birth name. Shit I had a student who goes by their first and middle initial be told they couldn’t use their nickname by a teacher. A lot of going above and beyond for fear of breaking the rule. A rule which basically legally says you should bully trans people of all age.
