Is Mx. pronounced “Mix?”
I’m all for gender-inclusive language and try to use it as much as possible (ie “mail person” instead of “mail man” and using “they” instead of defaulting to “he” when gender is unknown). But God am I tired of replacing everything with an X, haha.
I’d just call them “teacher [last name]” like how college professors tend to go by “professor [last name]” and call it a day.
Latinx is hated by the majority of Hispanic people because it’s unpronounceable in Spanish, so you can drop that one.
(Am Hispanic ftr, despise the term)
Ok but it’s not a Spanish term. Do they also complain about all the other English words that exist?
Not that I support latinx, but that’s a pretty lame excuse to be against it
Nah, Latino is a word that springs from spanish. It isn’t actually an English word, it just got borrowed.
So, not only was the word co-opted from Latino people, the crazy crackers decided that they could ignore the objections of Latinos to the change to their words. That’s as opposed to the not-crazy crackers that know better than to fuck around with someone else’s internal labels
Seriously my dude, if you don’t know any latinos well enough to ask about this kind of thing, you’re missing out. My best friend’s husband is Nicaraguan, and he’ll do this half hour long rant in spanglish about it that is impressive in both scope and venom. And you don’t even wanna hear his mom go off about it! She gets mean lol.
If this does not violate some anti-discrimination laws that you are doing law wrong. I am fairly certain this would not be legal in my country.
Last year a trans teacher in my country was not only removed but also libeled so badly she had to kill herself, the news were more or less like “see? she was actually mentally ill”… For those who don’t remember, source but not for the faint of heart.
Now, Vary has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which could prompt a legal challenge of the “Don’t Say Gay” law’s expansion.
Does this have any chance of doing anything? I’m very surprised at their boldness to document exactly why they were firing them - do they think they can withstand the legal challenge or are they just stupid? (it’s always hard to guess with homophobes)
Theyre boundary testing like all sociopaths inevitably do.
History will not be kind to Florida
History
I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to teach that in Florida.
