Why do they need to report that? No harm is done by being a trans person, it’s not contagious or dangerous. It’s a realization and decision made after years of therapy; no one needs to report to parents nor do parents have a right to know.
You guys don't go up to all your kids' teachers and say "nice to meet you, please show me your genitals"?
edit: to be clear, this is not something you should say to any human. Stop worrying about what's in people's pants or on their birth certificate
ROFL If I had kids, I’d only care about a teacher’s ability to teach! Personal life is separate from work, if a teacher can connect to children and inspire a want to learn-IDGAF about anything else. Well, as long as they’re not a bigot or facist, that matters.
I am going to say this to my best friends next time I visit Washington.
Don't you kink shame me.
^what my response would be if I thought like you.
You are gross.
Not really. The efficacy of a teacher is not dependent on their gender. Providing that information does nothing for anyone, and no one "deserves" that information.
deserve to be informed? why? why do you even give a shit? I've never informed by parents about the genders or sexuality of my teachers and never thought it was relevant. they didn't even know which ones were men or women. why are you so concerned with genitals dude? get help.
With that logic, parents should be informed about the teacher's religion too! Wouldn't want some strict teaching sex ed!
After the nazi's made good use of the registration system in the Netherlands, it became illegal to ask certain questions regarding background, sexuality and religion. Not on a professional level such as by recruiters. Only exceptions are medical situations. This level of privacy should be implemented everywhere.
ew transphobe
Why are they hiding that they have genital herpes? Don't parents deserve to be informed?
Has the exact same relevance as what you said.
Why?
Why? I thought you guys "cAn ALwaYs tEll". Are you worried some might be slipping by? Perhaps you'd prefer if they had to wear something like a pink triangle on their clothes?
Why, what impact does this have on their children?
What do you think would happen if the parent was this woman?
AGREED! I think ALL Trans Gay Bisexual Asexual or ANYTHING THAT ISN'T STRAIGHT should be Outed to the Parents!
trying to figure out if your account has a carefully picked stylistic choice or if u just talk like that
Idk. After reading a good chunk of their comments, I think this is just missing a /s
i mean i definitely know it’s satire. they do a good job of that. i just don’t know if their all caps words and exclamation marks are characterization or just how they prefer to type.
