To shriek from the rooftops that there is No Such Thing as “preferred pronouns”?

If they were wrongly fired for using pronouns that's pretty devastating, to be fair. Who wants to go through all that and having to fight a court case because they are referencing biological reality?

The point is that they may have been wrongly fired, we won’t know until the case is over so they are not really clear examples of the consequences of what can happen in the event of misuse of preferred pronouns

Yes disputes seem to be on going. I'm not sure what your point is? The teachers were fired with pronouns being part of why.

The second case seems straightforward enough however and he lost his case I believe.

None of these cases including the Enoch Burke case seem to be solely related to ‘preferred pronouns’ therefore they are bit more complex

It also says she wasn't fired for refusing to use preferred pronouns, she was fired for disclosing confidential details about the child in question to a third party.

Looked at the first link and it states ‘allegedly fired’, the case seems to be still ongoing, the second link also states that there is an ongoing case on it

Here's some UK examples. If you google 'teacher fired pronouns' quite a few US examples pop up too

The Enoch Burke case is still relevant though as he hasn’t been fired for the misuse of preferred pronouns and is still being paid a wage even though he hasn’t worked at the school since 2022, the case is ongoing, It’s a complex case though and not just about preferred pronouns

However I believe there are examples of teachers being fired for not using preferred pronouns in the UK and maybe Canada.

Are there? can you provide links to these cases

Unless you give away all your salary to someone less fortunate or volunteer your spare time to charity you are not a ‘kind’ person

You can be a kind person without doing either of those things

In fairness, the Enoch Burke case has multiple elements to it. Pronouns were just the trigger point (and the driver of media interest).

However I believe there are examples of teachers being fired for not using preferred pronouns in the UK and maybe Canada.

I suppose,
A teacher in Ireland (Enoch Burke) refused to use the preferred pronouns of a pupil in 2022 and it led to a big court case that is still ongoing.

Please enough with the ‘kind’ person schtick again. . It is getting annoying now. It is performative

Unless you give away all your salary to someone less fortunate or volunteer your spare time to charity you are not a ‘kind’ person.

You only have to watch tiktok videos for half an hour to watch people going out of their way to be misgendered and then screeching about it. It's beyond tedious.

Jesus, nobody knows for sure as yet as there doesn’t ( to my knowledge) seem to be a precedent, I said there could possibly be consequences which one may have to deal with if they decide not to use them!

Bugger off.
Non of your business what l or anyone else does.
New words emerge all the time.. shall we not use those either.
You do you.. idiot

OP - you have a point to make, and you’ve made it. Quite a few times now.
People disagree with you, and not just because your OP was badly phrased and naturally incorrect as a result, but also because they feel differently about trans issues than you do.

The answer to your original question is that it is unreasonable to shriek your view from the rooftops. That is not how you persuade people; that’s how you alienate them and make them think you are ranty and unreasonable as you refuse to acknowledge differences of opinion. [Before you reply saying it isn’t a matter of opinion, sex is binary etc, I’m not talking about sex, I’m talking about what allowances people are prepared to make for other individuals in order to be kind/respectful]

On your point about language - it does change and evolve all the time. You keep using a banana as an example, but I could equally refer to the words ‘sick’, or ‘gay’ (amongst many others). They have markedly different meanings today than they’ve had in the past.

You clearly feel very strongly about trans issues (as do I), but your arguments need more nuance and diplomacy if you wish to persuade others.
If you don’t wish to persuade, but are rather just aiming to annoy and agitate, then continue as you are.

The Supreme Court ruling should help but the idea you can be disciplined or worse in a job for not following a harmful ideology has to be over.

If the SC can say biological male then anyone can. No repercussions.

Test it out then and see what happens, it’s entirely up to you

Don’t know but I have no intention of testing it as at the end of the day, the using of preferred pronouns is not a big deal for me and dealing with possible consequences of not using them is not a hill I could be bothered dying on as I generally prefer to focus on things that I consider to be bigger issues, if other people want to test it out that’s their prerogative

That is compelled speech and I wonder how it would go at a tribunal
