      Fair enough. Is your opinion on deception the same in my scenario in which instead of a difference in pronouns, there's a different nickname? Quoted for convenience:

      Imagine that a student goes by the name Ollie at school and is called that name by all the students and teachers including myself. Ollie's parents hate the nickname and prefer to call him Oliver. If I use the name Oliver for that student when discussing his academic progress with his parents because that's the name they prefer to use for him am I concealing or deceiving them by following their lead?


      Also, how do you feel this deception is resolved in light of my point number two in the text you quoted?
      There is no deception in your example. Ollie and Oliver are enough alike that there is no real difference, and your example is just silly.

      Now if he wanted to go by "Olivia" at school and the teachers insisted on calling him "Oliver" only when talking the parents, then it would be deceptive.

          When using Analogies that support their side:
          Yes, the count of one is 5, and the count of the other one is purple, therefore they are comparable for an analogy.

          When looking at Analogies that don't support their argument.
          Yes, the two cars were speeding with people of the same age, same gender, same criminal record, by the same cops, in the same town, with the same make and model, etc, but one car was orange so you can't compare the two cars at all, it is an entirely apples and oranges comparison.

            No injuries, although it is entirely possible I got my backside blistered as a result. Apparently I instinctively understood to tuck and roll and not try to remain standing.

              So you thought you were Mary Poppins, how cute!

                Actually, I didn't think it would allow me to fly but wondered if it might provide for a soft landing -- like I regularly saw in cartoons.

                  That's very different from teachers going along with a student's gender self-identifies.

                  And how, pray tell, do theses children become deluded to the point of allegedly having these gender self-identities? Groomers, which doesn't necessarily have a sexual component as successors are "groomed", although queer theory necessarily leads to the normalisations of adult-minor relationships.


                  Also, teachers using the gender identity a student identifies with has nothing to do with any type of surgery.
                  It normalises the delusion to where puberty blockers, hormone treatment, and surgery are logical progressions.

                    I had to look this up, and sure enough they included a trans beaver with what are called "top scars"

                          Particularly when they want kids to relate to a beaver which mutilated itself for the sake of the LGBTQ++ agenda

                            I'm hearing that part of this is a "privacy concern".

                            This doesn't really make sense to me. After all, in the situations we are talking about, it's not that the kid is confiding in secret to the school, it's enabling the kid to live a double life. At school they are out, proud, etc. They are IN public, expressing themselves at school, being called by their "preferred name" and "preferred pronouns" by the teachers in front of all the other students, etc.

                            That's not private.

                              The whole parade scene in that episode is rather yikes. It's like distilled wokeness in cartoon form.

                                Matthew Ulmann needs to be told that 1984 was a warning not a text book. He is guilty of doublethink.
