9 yr old told off for calling non-binary teacher Sir

Seeing one sex and being required to use a word applicable to the other (or none) is difficult for adults, never mind 9-year-olds, for the same reason; it is psychologically bamboozling. Human rights organisations typically take a dim view of this sort of compelled speech for this reason.
Our old friend George Orwell has been quoted threadbare on this issue, but the 1984 line about the 'evidence of your eyes and ears' continues to be relevant and resonant.

Btw - you disappointed me with the last sentence there 🤣

So as a human you are unable to learn new behaviours? It’s being called Mx instead of sir - don’t make it more complicated than it is. They are 9 not 2 able to reason and comprehend.

I have you chose not to accept here it is plain and simple:

gender is something individual to you it’s our perception of ourselves , it can be inherited.

race is something that is inherited, it presents as categorised (often physical) traits that are socially constructed and understood. It’s about community, culture, connection and sometimes even trauma.

hope that’s coherent enough for you

have a nice day

What “purposes” do you believe those are?

It’s already not “all purposes” because the GRA carved out an exception for primogeniture/inheritance (to benefit men that identify as women obviously to the detriment of women that identify as men) and originally participation in sport, although that might have been quietly removed but has been reinstated by the SC judgement.

It’s definitely not for purposes where biological sex is relevant such as determining who accesses services or spaces where sex is important as per the SC judgement.

I guess it could be for the purposes of obtaining official id such as birth certificate (can be rewritten with new name and sex if a GRC is obtained - ripe for abuse by id fraudsters/sex offenders) or a passport (can be falsified updated at will with an easily obtained doctors letter or driving licence (just film in an online form). This has fundamentally undermined the integrity of official identification documents and therefore DBS/security checks.

I can’t see any other “purposes” though?

It is VERY different. Ever seen a female teacher punish a child for calling her ‘Miss’ instead of ‘Mrs’? There’s a reason for it. This teacher is using children to validate his belief in gender ideology. This teacher is claiming to be neither a man or a woman. There’s no such thing as ‘non-binary’: sex is a binary. If he just means he’s not stereotypically masculine then whoopeedoo- he’s got the same human condition as every other person on the planet. It’s called a ‘personality.’ I’m a woman, typing this wearing a pair of trousers and no makeup. I have not changed sex.

I'm trying my best too

But you haven't given any kind of coherent reasoning why they're different. Fine, I doubt you're going to, but just to be clear.

Recognition of sex is hard-wired in humans (there are evolutionary/safety reasons for this).
Knowledge of people's names isn't.

Correctly sexing someone and applying the correct sex title is deeply intuitive, system 1 brain activity and hard to override.

I have given you an answer you chose to not accept it. I can’t make you change your mind and you can’t change mine. I’m ok with that.

I stand corrected! Live and learn.

Well I didn't think I'd get an answer, I guess 🤷‍♀️

Mx is not for women. It’s a gender neutral term.

My reasoning is that it’s only not counter intuitive because that’s what you have been taught - you weren’t born with that knowledge - therefore you can acquire and de-acquire different knowledge.

I get called Sir, Mam, Miss all the time.

Can you articulate why?

My reasoning for my position is it's never actually counter-intuitive to remember to call someone, say, Mrs Jones or Mr Singh (although you may simply forget their name, which is a different thing), whereas it IS counter-intuitive to look at someone who is patently male and call them 'Mx', which is for women.

Now you go.

Most men who do this are. With young women it tends to be a flight from womanhood.

If we are allowing people to identify as whatever dream is in their head, where do we draw the line because there really does have to be a line. If a child of 10 decides they are 18 and are going for pint in the pub can the landlord refuse to serve them because they are underage ? If a 35 year old male decides he is 15 and starts dating a 14 year old girl do we have the right to stop him ?

I'm curious. I'm 70 years old and never had to call teachers Sir or Miss when I was a child. As a retired teacher, I never taught in a school where teachers were called Sir or Miss. During my life and experience, teachers are called Mr\Mrs\Miss and their surname, but never just a title. So was this 9 year old deliberately calling the teacher Sir to antagonise?

Have a nice day.

Trans people know what they are born - biologically the problem is that they don’t see themselves that way.

So explain to us why that's different to any of the other examples ...

Transracial people know what race they are born, the problem is they don't see themselves that way

Or

Trans-age people know what year they are born, the problem is they don't see themselves that way

Or

Trans species people know what species they are born, the problem is they don't see themselves that way

Or

Transabled people know what ability level they are born, the problem is they don't see themselves that way

Don’t forget that on MN all biological male trans or non binary people are only doing it because they want to sexually abuse women 😒

There is no difference at all in my opinion so agree to disagree

What a great role model you seem to be - would you demand a meeting with the teacher to show who’s boss?
