I would actually be interested to see what's on Kevin Boxer Moran's passport, or Pat The Cope Gallagher's driver's licence :-)

Yes, it would be crazy to just wake up one day and decide to change your name from Tim to Mary. Which is why nobody does. You don't frivolously decide on a whim to change your name, especially to one normally associated with another gender.

Very well then sex.

You'll note I haven't denied the existence of other combinations than xx, xy.

I said xx. xy. as a lazy way of saying that beyond the 98% I don't really care, and nor should anyone when it comes to how society at large operates.

We can care for the 2%-er communities out there (and those 5 people with testicles and xx chromosomes), by all means we should.

But I don't believe in adapting to them in any major sense. Thats their problem in life. Enough of this growing tyranny of the minority.

We don’t need to adapt for everyone but we need not to aggressively pick on them which is what he seems to have done.

love thy neighbour as thyself is the mantra of his lodestar but he seems not to follow it.

I agree. He's a nut. And he should probably leave people alone.

... then again in the current climate he's probably serving a purpose. an annoying canary in the 21st century nonsense cave.

In fairness, the people getting upset about it seem far more snowflakey. Plenty of cultures have recognised that gender can fall outside standard norm of male and female. So it's not a new concept and in this case, the only one causing issues is the religious fundamentalist. So ya, Enoch should get on with his life and grow up.

You'll note I was speaking about the variations within XX and XY expressions, and in fact spoke very little about other combinations.

And if calling someone by a different name is a tyrannical adaption in a major sense, then I wish you all the best as it must be very difficult to cope in daily life.

They have censored by shutting down Google+ - the article yer man is getting outraged at was from 2014. 🤣

As far as I know, it takes two years to change your name by common usage if you want to use that name for official documents, eg passport.

As far as I can remember, one of the ways to show common usage, is to register with a GP under that name.

In other news, he's being arrested and taken to court. He's shown up at the school again.

I suspect this will mean a family day out, along with whatever supporters show up too.

Pherekydes · 02-09-2022 12:18pm

Contempt of court. Contempt of your employer. Contempt of your students. Contempt of society in general.

It's all going so well...

Quin_Dub · 02-09-2022 12:25pm

It's performance art for their supporters/backers.

There is never any good faith effort from then aimed at coming to an equitable compromise or whatever , it is exclusively about finding an angle that they can leverage to Grandstand their extremist religious views to the world.

Annasopra · 02-09-2022 12:30pm

Martyrising himself 🤣

There'll be loads of crazy claims he's being arrested for not using "they/them" pronouns 🤔

Arrested for contempt of court........ That's it

The image I have of this… I can’t stop laughing.

It’s hilariously unhinged.

appledrop · 02-09-2022 12:37pm

Well if he now ends up with criminal conviction, then he will be banned from teaching anyway so won't be allowed near a school again.

Faugheen · 02-09-2022 12:41pm

Imagine this all because he wouldn’t call a child by a preferred name.

He has an older sister that is also a teacher, and by all accounts she’s very well regarded by students, staff and parents. You never see her joining the rest of her backwards family and she just seems to get on with it.

Boggles · 02-09-2022 12:49pm

So this individual is in a school and refusing to leave violating a court order?

That is pretty serious, hopefully they approach it with the proper level of force it deserves.

We can't have unhinged lunatics breaking into schools whilst there is children there, example has to be made.

If the guards don't solve it I imagine a parent may.

D'ya think that'll stop the nutcase? He's off on his own personal crusade.

Him and his family believe they are above the law.

He's currently sitting in an empty classroom in Westmeath, willingly and repeatedly breaching an injunction and preventing school children from receiving their education.

02-09-2022 1:12pm

If he's gone back on the school grounds despite the injunction, he's obviously very keen to teach. You have to admire his go-getter attitude, it's a pity we don't have more teachers like him.

Wezz · 02-09-2022 1:14pm

He's toast. Can't imagine him getting back to teach there now even if he agreed to respect the students preferred pronouns ( which will never happen ). He can't be allowed back, his behaviour is unhinged. I wonder how the poor students feel about all this especially the one at the centre of it all. Hopefully they are being looked after.

In my head he is sitting on one of the small chairs meant for the kids...huffing with his arms crossed lol...f#cking plonker

Sure he can teach in prison, where some inmates don't care about pronouns, any hole is a goal.

👍️

Ten of Swords · 02-09-2022 1:15pm

There are tweets going around saying the judge may adjourn until Monday, if he's been arrested does that mean a weekend in the cells?

Pity it's not a bank holiday weekend.......

super_furry · 02-09-2022 1:20pm

Crazy to think how he ever got the job in the first place. He's clearly unfit to be around children unsupervised.

pjcb · 02-09-2022 1:21pm

surely he could be a private teacher homeschooling tutor if he wanted to be...
