What does the student have down on their paperwork? I'm just thinking that there could be some confusion if the old name was on everything instead of their preferred name.
Does someone at the school try to correct the records in some way in that situation?
Our system actually has a fill in for preferred names for both faculty and students and will use that on all documents if you check the box. I myself use it and my badge, logins, and even timeclock have my nickname instead of my legal name. I only know her real name because her dossier was upfront about being trans.
That's cool. Thank you for actually providing an answer to my questions. Much appreciated
Official documentation doesn't have any bearing on what you call someone in class. It's literally no different than calling William by his preferred name of Will.
I'm asking how everyone would know what to call them and if there's a way to make sure they do.
Don't worry, someone else provided a real answer. Thanks.
Why are you just making things up? What's the point of you taking the effort to say nonsense?
I mean, I'm sure this only came up because he was specifically asked by the student or the student's friends to use their preferred name and he said, "Jesus would send me to hell if I did!", which is terrifying.
Not terrifying in the idea that Jesus will send you to hell for using a trans person's preferred name, because he won't, but terrifying that somebody believes that and lives their life worshiping a horrible monster that would do that to a human being.
What are you talking about?
