A Christian maths teacher who was banned indefinitely from the profession after refusing to use a student's preferred pronouns is seeking a judicial review.

Joshua Sutcliffe was banned for a minimum of two years by the Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) for allegedly "bringing the profession into disrepute".

It followed his 2017 dismissal from Cherwell School in Oxford after allegedly using the wrong pronouns and "misgendering" a biologically female pupil who had started identifying as male.

This needs to stop. If you are a man, you're a man, if you're a woman, you're a woman. No mental illness should be celebrated.

This is a classic example of how we as a society have become divided along identity lines and how this is causing the percieved rights of identity groups to clash and conflict which is always going to happen. Because we can divided people into never ending identities and every identity is a subjective determination.

Thyis is what happens when society becomes deluded by ideology and moves away from objective reality and our real lived experiences. We have done this experiment many times in the past and we know the end result. It doesn't end well.

Pronouns represent a Mindset, a belief and assumption about the world. Pronouns are just the outward example of the ideological thinking. Some call it Woke or PC.

But heres the problem. The ideology insists that all identities have the right to express their beliefs, their real selves to the world. If thats the case then any person who thinks and believes different also has the right.

What the ideology is more or less saying when it calls for disagreeing voices to be cancelled is everyone must believe and think like the Woke. But we know that is not possible because a person cannot just change belieeef or who they are. In other words for the Wokist to achieve their DEI Utopia they are going to have to cancel the different beliefs and thinking and reprogram it to be more like the Woke.

In other words a Totalitarian society. Theres no other way to achieve this. Those who oppose Woke and Gender ideology do so because their belief, thinking and conscience is alien to this, it goes against their own reality.

The Woke are asking those they cancel to give up their own selves and reality itself. I think thats a bit much when you consider the Woke are suppose to be a Diverse, Equal and Inclusive and tolerant society. That seems like the opposite.
