Child punished for using wrong pronouns for non-binary teacher
A pupil in a British school has been punished for questioning the use of non-binary pronouns for their teacher, a concerned parent has claimed, in what appears to be the first case of its type in the UK.
The parent claims the conflict began when the pupil, who is in Year 9, addressed the female teacher as 'Miss', to which the pupil claims the teacher retorted: "I'm not Miss, I'm Mx".
In response, the confused child allegedly asked: "Well, what does that mean?" The child was then issued a detention for being rude to their teacher.
People who try to assert themselves at the expense of children don't deserve respect.
