To be annoyed at my DP being so un-PC?

He mentioned a school where parents had removed their DC because a boy was attending wearing a dress. I said kids should wear what they want and he said it's parents pushing an agenda on their children. I said no, he always knew he was a boy when he was little - imagine having his body but knowing he was a girl like a young lady I know. I also mentioned that DS's favourite teacher at school was a trans man and he said "they let them into schools now, do they?" I was furious and left his house to come home. I'm very aware we have different views on a lot of things, mine being very liberal and his being very conservative (with a small c), but imo he personally attacked someone I like and respect very much in that teacher and it's that that I'm mad about the most.

I think it's important in relationships to share values with your OH; not necessarily the same politics, but similar values.

'Let them into schools' Confused

I'd have walked out on him too for that!

That happened

I couldn't be in a relationship with someone whose values differed significantly from my own.

I'm quite liberal and would not be with someone who wasn't. Obviously you don't have to agree on ever but life shouldn't be a series of battles at home.

YANBU. You clearly have very different values and attitudes.

I know some people say opposites attract, but I personally couldn't have a serious relationship with someone who had vastly different values to mine. Sooner or later it will cause a major rift, particularly when it comes to him being hateful about people you respect, as has happened in this situation.
