Transexuals
RE: Transexuals
Hmm. It seems a bit harsh, when you have no intention of it going further. I guess you've got to treat social media as practically public these days.

What? She got fired for that picture? That's ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous.

Wait...

So this is just saying, "Things won't change."

OMG! Things not changing will suddenly cause sexual attacks!

Good for Target Smile Nice job.

Exactly. Do people think that transsexuals haven't ever existed before and that they are only now needing to use the toilet?

Oh and she also had a private post that used "Bitch" in it. So there was that too.

All it took was an anonymous complaint from one person. Just one. There wasn't a group of parents complaining, just one anonymous email.

Something about that whole situation smells really fishy. She says she was pressured and voluntarily resigned her job because of an email showing her drinking and the word 'Bitch'?

Sorry, but there's just got to be more to that situation than that. I cannot imagine a person voluntarily resigning even with pressure from the administration for that.

ETA: this isn't to say that what happened is right, I just think there has to be more information we're not privy to that might make this situation make more sense.
RE: Transexuals
Steel, she was "fired".

I can somewhat believe it.

Many companies today cannot understand the difference between work and private life.

They think private life, including facebook, means their company is badly reflected.

Fuck the corporation that wants to stifle life.

RE: Transexuals
But she actually resigned from her job. She says she was pressured to resign and did. Then she sued for due process, which makes things even fishier.

Not saying it was right, or that this post was in any way offensive or inappropriate for a teacher or any other profession.
RE: Transexuals
How the hell is her having a drink badly reflecting anything?

If it was in the classroom, I could understand. I agree Steel, it seems likely there is more to it.
RE: Transexuals
The office I last worked in, you'd be considered weird for NOT drinking. They were absolute lushes, seriously, trying to get the drinks in during work hours at any opportunity they could

But then I'm not surprised, if I'd been working 8:30-6:00 Monday-Friday week after week for 20 years, I'd be the same.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."

An adult woman drinking? Oh the horror! The horror!
