Judge Lifts Suspension of Teacher Refusing to Use Transgender Pronouns
From the story: Judge James E. Plowman Jr. said Tuesday that Leesburg Elementary School teacher Byron “Tanner” Cross must be allowed to return to his job after the school’s principal suspended him in late May for objecting to a proposed policy on how to address transgender students. The policy would allow transgender students to use their chosen names and gender pronouns. Cross, who teaches physical education, said the policy violates his religious beliefs (Yahoo). The Alliance Defending Freedom, who represent Byron Cross, called it “A massive victory for freedom of speech” (Twitter).

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth You will be hard pressed to find a teacher that doesn't side with this ruling. As a teacher myself I have a hard time addressing a female by a male name and vs. versa. We had a teacher who refused to address his female student and got into hot water. He was a preacher and said it went against his religion. They moved the student to another class.

MSgt Robert "Rock" Aldi - At one time, they were giving women high doses a strong synthetic female hormone (DES) tat was believed to prevent miscarriages. This was done at the time that the brain was most susceptible to the effects. It was remove from human use, becaused it caused a lot of problems for the daughters, but no research has really been done for the sons. I believe it was still being used at the tiny hospital when I was born. My mother didn't remember what all they gave her, decades later but I've always had problems that may have been caused by it. This was early '50, but the two doctors at that time were from Veina, and may have still been using it. It is now only used on animals.
