Is there a non homophobic definition of the word bent that me & Ds may be unaware of before I complain to school?

Not very happy. Having various problems at school. Ds displays clear traits of asd but not being given reasonable adjustments. Also bullying happening.

Today in PE he was straitening the long jump measuring tape. Teacher asked what hecwas doing.

I'm straitening the tape cause it's bent.

Teacher replied - the only bent thing here is you.

Ds is not gay (he's only 12) but we have several family friends who are & older dd has lots of classmates at another schools who identify as lgbt.

AIBU to think that this isn't on?

Really. I thought I was quite clear

The only thing clear to me is your total inability or unwillingness to explain how the words in my original post could possibly mean what you said they meant.

Narnia, we're good

Okay, let's try again. Either that was a snide dig or it wasn't. Y/N?

Were you being literally sincere?

No need for me to "try again" - I've already explained the motivation of my original comment. And, snide or sincere, it could not have meant what spooky claimed it did - unless she can tell me different.

Wind your neck in casual, you posted a defensive and wanky comment and got called on it.

That's your interpretation and you're entitled to it. As for winding my neck in, no chance love; I shall, within the site's guidelines, post in precisely the way I see fit.

Teacher replied - the only bent thing here is you.

Wow. that is just bang out of order. If that was said to my kid I'd complain. Regardless of sexuality etc, it's a derogatory term and a teacher has no place using it.

You do that casual - you clearly don't have the insight to realise that you have just barged into a thread and made it all about you so batter in ....love!

Well, thanks, witchy, having your permission makes all the difference. And I also want you to know that your opinion of me is really important.

Obvs casual because you keep replying!

Absolutely, your perspective is so incredibly incisive. In fact, there must be some more threads you can revive in order to critique my contributions. Please don't hold back - I shall hang on your every brilliant word.

I'll have a wee look and see if you've managed to make all those other threads about you too. You see I'm only generally critical of those who feel the need to dismiss other people's experiences because they don't quite fit with their perceptions of themselves.

I'll have a wee look and see ...

Yes, please do. I feel I have so much to learn from you.

Yes you probably do.

I shall wait upon your judgements with bated breath.

Hahahahahaha... i genuinely am loving this - it's like I'm 12 again.

...also sorry OP and everyone else on this thread for my poor behaviour. I am feeling particularly childish today. ..... but it is all casual's fault

Definitely think teacher made a homophobic comment - I would complain to the head. Bent is a derogatory term for gay in my world.

Op was the teachers name Mr S* by any chance ?
