(from the Conversation) In Tennessee, a proposed law would let public school teachers refuse to call transgender students by the pronouns they use for themselves. At Shawnee State University in Ohio a professor got paid US$400,000 to settle a lawsuit that he filed against the school after being disciplined for refusing to refer to a trans woman student as “she” or “her.” In Loudoun County, Virginia, a public school teacher was suspended for objecting to the use of trans students’ pronouns, but the state’s Supreme Court ordered his reinstatement while the case was pending.
The actions are somewhat coordinated, as the Alliance Defending Freedom is behind much of the anti-trans legislation in the U.S. The legal status of rights for trans students is constantly changing at the federal level, as shown by how the current and previous two administrations have interpreted Title IX.
