It begins. Everyone who will not cooperate with the mental illness of a select few who claim to be a different gender from the one they actually are will be persecuted.  We have seen it happen to nubile young girls who are forced to allow disguised boys to shower with them.  And now a teacher has been fired for refusing to pretend that a girl is a boy.

A federal discrimination complaint has been filed on behalf of a Katy-area educator who says she was wrongly terminated for refusing to address a 6-year-old girl as a transgender boy, the teacher's attorneys said Tuesday. Madeline Kirksey, of Houston, who worked at the Children's Lighthouse Learning Center location on Clay Road,  was fired Nov. 3 after she would not agree to treat the child as a male and call the child by a new male name, according to a copy of the filing with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

... the child had been attending school since the start of classes as a "little girl."

Using fake names, Taylor [the attorney for the fired teacher] said that the child left school Friday as "Sally" and returned on Monday going by "Johnny."

Taylor maintained the child's gender identity wasn't set in stone. He said the child continued to use the girls' bathroom. The 6-year-old also played football with the boys and, when hit hard, cried and said, "I'm really not a little boy."

As Jack Nicholson said in The Shining, "here's...Johnny!"

This reminds me very much of George Orwell's 1984.  Winston Smith was not merely tortured, but brainwashed to change his beliefs from minute to minute.  One moment he was told his country was at war with Eurasia, and he would have to believe it.  The next minute he was told the country was at war with Eastasia, not Eurasia, and he'd have to believe that, too.

The same applies here.  One day Kirksey is told the student is a girl, and the next she is told she is a boy.  Kirksey is being persecuted for believing the truth, and not cooperating with this girl's mental illness.

And, by the way, since we know it always matters, Kirksey is black.  Why aren't the black rights activists rushing to defend her?  Does fluid sexuality trump black power?

Is the day not too far ahead where the government will "assign" us a gender, and we will be forced to accept it?  It sounds ridiculous, but who would believe ten years ago that the government would be forcing schools to pretend that boys are girls and leave girls in unsafe situations?
