The Wisconsin English teacher, Jordan Cernek, argues in the suit that the district violated his freedom of religion and free speech in mandating the use of the students' preferred names and pronouns.
A high school English teacher is suing a Wisconsin school district, alleging it did not renew his contract last year because he refused to use the preferred names of two transgender students.
Jordan Cernek's federal lawsuit alleges the Argyle School District violated his constitutional and civil rights to be free of religious discrimination and to be able to express himself according to his religious beliefs when it did not renew his contract because he refused to abide by a requirement that teachers use the names or pronouns requested by students.
You're viewing a single thread.
You can identify as whatever you want, but your right to do that stops dead at my right to address you as i see you. Beard and long hair and a dress? Sir/He. Breasts? Ma'am/She. I cant believe this is even a discussion. Your delusion is not my problem or responsibility.
Hmm, I see you as someone who is called Mr Poopyface, I guess it's alright if I call you that then, Mr Poopyface?
What if i called you Mr. Whataboutism? Because that is what you are doing.
Sounds fair to me, Mr. Poopyface.
Only my friends call me chickenfucker
It's not. The point is: you don't get to decide what you call others. Especially when they've already corrected you and you know better. And it's Miss btw, by your own logic.
It took me all of 90 seconds to read through your comment history and confirm you are in some kind of pain, the kind that breeds misplaced anger at the lack of stability in your own identity.
You did, however, ponder one valuable bit of insight at the end of your recent AITA post (15 days ago) regarding your wife quitting her job and her not listening to you. Please follow your instinct here. Please do be open to your wife about going your separate ways.
Real talk, she will be better off without you. You act as if she's holding you back, all the while it sounds like she's been holding you up. It seems you are the one holding both of you back, and projecting this financial and identity instability onto others is illustrative of your own issues.
You don't seem like a legitimate troll. You seem like you're fighting for your own identity and you're projecting your frustrations by asserting other people are deluded in knowing who they are and somehow insane for wanting a modicum of human respect. Yet I think you and many, many others like you, are those truly struggling.
I think you are currently showing a lack of respect to others because, deep down, you don't respect yourself. And that is not okay. Needing and seeking help and direction from others, including mental health professionals, is not a blue-haired liberal thing, it's a human thing. Please consider it.
Nah, actually i am just trolling. I just love reading the unhinged responses. Also, that post was for a friend who is in a very dark place and due to anxiety and other issues, doesnt use social media and wanted some advice. I read the responses with him and there was some good genuine concern and advice from people, so im happy it helped him. As for me, im just here for the lulz. And my psychologist and lawyer both just said not to talk to you anymore.
Nah, actually i am just trolling
We are who we pretend to be. If you're so good at "pretending" to be a bigoted idiot that no one can tell, what's the difference between that and actually being a bigoted idiot?
Aaaaand now I wonder if you (and your friend) are experiencing a wicked case of DID. Please consult your totally real psychologist on that for more info on how to reign in your diverging personalities. (Wouldn't wanna have to get your lawyer involved, you know, like if your online troll personality state starts wreaking legal havoc in real life. Who would be to blame? You?! Or you?!!?!)
Serious question. And making the forgiving assumption your "friend" wasn't just a cover story. This troll business you opened up here, do you you actually believe and stand behind what you profess?
You are taking this really seriously, arent you? Are you sure you are all right?
[Ah yes, a solid B+ troll, using the "are you all right" trope to get a rise out of me. The following would be my "rise."]
Oh for cripes sake, can you not see I was leaning into your trolling mindset with my first bit?!! Keep fuckin moving the goalpost, y'all are good at that.
[Yes, I clearly suspended my disbelief in trying to see what exactly is legitimate under all of what you've said so far. It's a fascinating occupation you've taken on, Professional Troll of Dubious Intent (PTODI), but if even if you actually don't harbor these shitty thoughts against people, you are literally, actually right this moment making the entire platform of discourse shittier. I guess I should step outside my human brain and understand that some purported humans just want to watch the world burn. Sigh... Fuckin PTODIs.]
Why are you doing this? It's summer, go outside, get yourself a nice cold beverage and relax.
You can identify as whatever you want, but your right to do that stops dead at my right to address you as i see you.
OK, cool. So you're good with me addressing you as Mr. Baby Rapist then?
Yep
