Maybe we should just call everyone, “Hey you!”
Via Daily Caller:
Teachers in all-girls schools in the U.K. may soon stop calling female students “girls” in an effort to be more “inclusive” to transgender students, according to Sunday reports.
Caroline Jordan, the president of the U.K.’s Girls’ Schools Association, and leading principals suggested that in certain situations, such as group assemblies, teachers should use “gender neutral” nouns in order to be more inclusive and sensitive to the needs of transgender students, according to the Telegraph.
“Every year there are more and more young people posing questions around their gender identity. I do not want anyone to think that girls’ or boys’ schools are invested in one way of being a girl or one way of being a boy,” Jordan told the Telegraph.
England’s publicly funded Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust reportedly saw 697 children last year younger than 18 who claimed last year they experienced some gender identity confusion.
