[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I hate this entire debate. Why can't people just live their own lives in peace, and accept that sometimes people will be weird and call them by the wrong name? There are millions of people at risk of starvation in Asia and Africa, more than usual because of the war in Ukraine and profiteering on the grain market. Why don't we do something about REAL issues instead of fighting over what one kid said to the other? [/quote]

Just to answer this- because the local school board governs schools not Africa or Ukraine. Those are global concerns. Feel free to advocate on their behalf, write legislators, etc. I think its interesting that you say things like "lives in peace" being equated with being called the wrong name or gender- likely, repeatedly and in the cases we are talking about, maliciously. 
Do you know how many times as a server I accidently said yes sir or yes mam to the wrong gender because I was on auto. Or said youre welcome when I meant thank you because my mind was 100 different places? Those are mistakes. Slips.

Being introduced to someone named Carol and then purposefully calling them CARL is malicious and means that you think that you are more important than they are. It isnt weird. Its purposeful. Deliberate.

I have a named like Suzanne but I go be a subset name, Suzie. I use the subset name in all my correspondence with one individual and they continue to use my full name. It is annoying and it feels condescending. Im not responding to his email by saying Johnathan when he goes by John or Joe because of John. Its common decency and respect.
