Pronoun Pets

Don't misgender the non-gendered:

The new law states in part:

2-1-143. Harassment or discrimination - policy required - training and notification - definitions. (1) As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires: (d) (IV) HARASSMENT OR DISCRIMINATION INCLUDES THE KNOWING OR INTENTIONAL USE OF A NAME OTHER THAN A STUDENT'S CHOSEN NAME, AS DEFINED IN SECTION 22-1-145 (1).

The referenced section, 22-1-145 (1), states:

22-1-145. Use of a student's chosen name - definitions. (1) As USED IN THIS SECTION, UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES: (a) "CHOSEN NAME" MEANS ANY NAME THAT A STUDENT REQUESTS TO BE KNOWN AS THAT DIFFERS FROM THE STUDENT'S LEGAL NAME, TO REFLECT THE STUDENT'S GENDER IDENTITY.

So, if we are to take this law at its face value if a student comes in and claims that their new chosen name is "Beeblebrox Latimore XXabraxus Nightwobbler," and that their pronouns are "dun" and "dunmore," then the teacher must adopt a grave expression and take the young lunatic seriously.

And then try not to laugh in their faces...
