British Teacher Facing Possible Termination After 'Misgendering' Trans Student

Dress up a dude or a girl anyway you want. They’re still going to biologically be a dude or a girl.

A teacher who was trying to compliment two FEMALE students is now facing possible termination, after already being suspended, for referring to a transgender boy as a “girl.”

According to the Daily Mail:

Joshua Sutcliffe, 27, who teaches maths at a state secondary school in Oxfordshire, said ‘Well done girls’ to the teenager and a friend when he spotted them working hard. 

He apologised when corrected by the pupil, but six weeks later he was suspended from teaching after the pupil’s mother lodged a complaint.

Following an investigation, he has been summoned to a formal disciplinary hearing this week to face misconduct charges for ‘misgendering’.

According to documents seen by The Mail on Sunday, he also faces claims that he is breaching equality policies by referring to the pupil by name rather than as ‘he’ or ‘him’.

You know why Sutcliffe didn’t use “he” or “him?” Because the student is a girl. Plain and simple.

As bad as some Americans think we have it in this country, you could be this poor sap who is essentially having his life ruined for making a non-threatening verbal mistake.

Notice how it was the mother that filed the complaint, and she took her time doing it, too. No word on how old the child is, but the mother probably promoted the child expressing herself by proclaiming she’s a he.

In addition to all that, this story might have a religious element to it.

The Daily Mail also reported:

Mr Sutcliffe, a maths graduate who gained his teaching qualifications at Exeter University, said he had no official instructions about how to address the student, but along with other staff decided to use the pupil’s chosen first name. 

However, he has admitted that, as a Christian, he avoided using male pronouns such as ‘he’ and ‘him’.

Is the motivation behind the suspension, and possible termination, simply the fact that Sutcliffe mistakenly used the wrong gender in addressing the student? Or is the reason behind the social justice persecution of Sutcliffe the other fact that he doesn’t use a transgender person’s proper pronoun because of his faith?

These questions and much more will be answered on the next episode of “Phony Outrage!”
