But I’m also not up for teachers pointedly ignoring kids who want to present whichever way/change their name or whatever… basically just because that’s also overstepping as a teacher.
Again I’d draw the line at the neo-pronouns because that’s the point for me where it stops being about gender identity and starts being about hyperindividualism. I mean… having your own special pronouns actually goes against the entire shorthand function and purpose OF a pronoun… you might as well just have no pronouns and always refer by name.

I agree, if the parents changed the kids name from say kyle to Kylie by deed poll then surely the teachers would have to respect that? Even if they still call them a boy?
