Why the fuck do these people always panic about such nonsense? Can't we get them panicking about something real like the erosion of our rights, wealth inequality, climate change? No, these feckless idiots are panicked about pronouns. The Pronoun Panic. I guess it's easier to get through your day if you're panicked about something imaginary instead of something real that has actual consequences.
You're so angry that you're picking fights with allies.
My comment was that the white bread christofascists are getting worked up about something that has no effect on their lives in their safe, white bread, christofascist echo bunker communities.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the Saskatchewan Legislative Building in Regina on Saturday to speak out against a new provincial government policy that requires parental consent when children under 16 want to use different names or pronouns at school.
Carla Blakley, a Lutheran pastor in Regina, says schools are meant to be a safe space for children and calls the policy "extremely harmful."
Ariana Giroux, director of the UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity —a non-profit service provider housed at the University of Regina — hopes the rally sends a message to the provincial government.
Meanwhile, a recent survey released by the Angus Reid Institute found 50 per cent of Saskatchewan respondents said they wanted to be informed and provide consent for students to change their name or pronouns.
In its application, UR Pride said the rules are not justifiable under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and deny gender-diverse students basic entitlements, including "a safe and welcoming educational environment in which to be themselves."
That can take several months to do," Bennett Jensen, director of legal for the advocacy group Egale Canada, which is co-counsel in the application, told CBC on Friday.

If my child wanted to be called "he" at school, I would want to know it, no?
If the child is too afraid to ask it's parents, maybe it's time to call child services or something? Like clearly, something is wrong and having the school change the pronouns without the parents knowledge ain't gonna fix this child situation. Also, the parent will eventually know it..
There are a lot of situations where Child and Family Services won't step in, but it's still not something that you would want to live through.
Sometimes it's just about hiding well enough to not get kicked out, so you can finish school or be able to stay in real school instead of getting placed into religious private school.
Parents may eventually find out anyway, but they also might not. I was a goodie two-shoes when I was kicked out for being gay, but most parents didn't seem to know about the drug/smoking/drinking/sexting habits of their children.
We need to make knowledge buildings, that have knowledge givers, who can knowledgize knowledgees with knowledge they learned from big knowledge buildings, and which is approved by knowledge deciders at the behest of the parents of the knowledgees.
