Should trans individuals be banned from teaching grade-high school?

As the question asks.

Should trans individuals be banned from the teaching profession for children grade school through high school in public or private schools?

 

No sure my answer means what I want it to mean.
I expect any teacher of kids to act accordingly.
I think that Canadian shop teacher is hoping to get fired, but isn't Trans. He appears to hope to get fired by wearing gigantic fake breasts and then maybe sue the school.
Trans by itself may look really odd to a little kid but if the guy teaches like any other normal teacher, why should it bother anyone?
I think the question is going to be, do people expect a trans to act like any normal person? I honestly don't know.

 

Why would you even ask? As long as they meet all of the relevant qualifications, checks and requirements, the simple fact of being trans isn't going to make any difference.

 

It's kind of a private thing irrelevant to teaching. I recall a heterosexual cis female teacher was fired for sharing too much of her personal life with her class, e.g. about her fiance. I don't know if I want things that strict, but if they act professional as a teacher and are competent they should be able to be a teacher.

 

Having trans teach children will cause confusion among the kids. It. isolates the truth that their are only two genders. That is not fair to the children. Let the kids find out when they are older that they are people who do not realize what gender they are and or are in denial that they are a certain gender.

 

I don’t think you should banned just because you are trans. Some trans people might not be suitable for a school setting, however.

 

Used to be a dress code in schools.. such as 'dress for success, AND I don't want the obviously mentally ill teaching my children, especially to mentally ill that want to flaunt their illness.

We already have enough commies teaching our children... look what they've done to our culture in the last 60 years.. #1 goal of the communist.. destroy the traditional family so the government can replace it.

 

Why would transgender teachers necessarily break any dress codes that any other teacher couldn't? Being transgender is also not formally recognised as a mental illness and if you're excluding teachers on the basis of thing some people could random label as "mental illness", transgender people would be the least of the problems.

Why would Communists want to "destroy the family" when their system is reliant on a steady growth in the population of workers? Communists can be in favour of uniform dress codes and dismissing alternative opinions as mental illness though, so keep an eye out for anyone promoting that kind of thing.

 

pointless arguing with the mentally ill, which would include anyone who believes in trangenderism.. it is presently impossible to change x and y chromosomes.
When I use the term "trans" I mean "transvestite"

 

And the question is

Why is this even a question?

 

Not every child is born with one X and one Y chromosome

 

But you are happy with, say, a gun carrying white supremacist/nazi sympathiser working at the school?

 

Because many people think that just by BEING a trans person, and public with yourself, especially around children, that in and of its self is "grooming" children.

 

Mental. Disorder.

 

No. I wouldn't be. But then I have common sense to not allow either a gun carrying white supremacist/Nazi sympathisers or a trans gender individual whom has gender disphoria and can't come to terms with how they were born.

 

I'm more conservative leaning on these sorts of issues, but I'm also probably much more Libertarian leaning than most conservatives on this issue.
Asking whether you approve of trans, or whether you consider trans a mental illness, is not the same question as whether they should be discriminated against in employment.
I do not think people can/should be discriminated against in public employment, and am generally in favor of trying to make as many accomodations as possible so individuals can have the maximum degree of individual freedom in jobs. Something like dressing in women's clothes (so long as it is not too revealing or provocative) is probably not really going to interfere with the job, at least not in a direct way, though it may make some feel uncomfortable.

It's interesting, I think the animated comedy South Park was able to look into the future and predict these issues before they happened. An episode titled "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina" aired all the way back in March 2005. Part of the issue in the episode was that the teacher got a sex change surgery and came back as another gender, making the children in the class feel uncomfortable. South Park was predicting social phenomena far ahead of its time.

 

Some such people are mentally ill or regard themselves as “groomers on a mission.” Desiring to have your genitalia mutilated is not normal, but that desire does not preclude the fact that you can be an effective teacher.

Unfortunately there are many leftists who view genital mutilation as not only normal but desirable. They don’t really believe that, but it’s a great way to add to your political base and grab a few “free thinkers, aged less than 30, along the way. Ideally you are an honest, talented competent person who is happens to be straight, gay or trans. Less desirable are those who make sex the central force in their life.

 

I wasn't.

 

If they stick to the lesson plan, and don't crusade for their cause in the classroom, fine. WTH do these people want besides attention?

 

It never ceases to amaze me how little education there is in America around the “steps of grooming”

And I have yet to see actual statistics on how common the ‘genital mutilation of children is”. Near as u can tell this is an almost non existent boogeyman

 

To live a normal life

 

I voted no. They should be allowed to work in any job. i just don't think they should encourage students to transition.

 

fair enough. a devout catholic can't discuss their religion because in a school they are an agent of the government so neither can a trans person discuss their transition. thats a normal life.

 

Why is it so important that is “hidden” from students

 

I didn't say it must be hidden. Just don't encourage it.
