The same thing is happening now in Oxford and Britain too, apparently. What happened in Canada provides the context of how oppressive the culture has become.
Of couse, in the USA, the major universities are private. That means at Yale, to say that students ought to wear what they want for Halloween, is enough to get professors run out of their jobs too. Either way, the culture is what is kicking the legs out of peoples right to have a public opinion contrary to Groupspeak.
Well, we all make up or contribute to what constitutes culture. So are you saying that the Church is also to blame? If so, congratulations on such an accurate observation.

Much of the blame falls squarely on Christians going to sleep and falling miserably to be the Salt of the Earth. Oooh...that hurts, doesn't it.

Good will not come forth and grow in society unless it is brought forth by the saints. Demonstratively, remove the saints and the Christian influence from the earth and darkness will multiply and spread. But of course it's easier to lay all the blame for spreading evil in the earth on the godless.

Being English, I’m disappointed by the response of the CofE to this whole question. While they are right to point out that bullying is destructive and should be legislated against, i.e. teachers and schools should be given a legally supported framework to deal with bullying, caving into the notion that children should be encouraged and supported to question their own gender is cowardly and fundamentally wrong. This appears to be a political decision, it’s disappointing that the leaders of the UK’s largest Christian group don’t have the courage to speak out against deeply damaging ungodly trends or the insight to recognise why this way of thinking is so dangerous.

Used to be. In this Brave New World, they're different. Sure, there's two sexes, but over sixty genders. The separation came from a guy named John Money. Read up on him and David Reimer.
Sounds a bit queer?

Oxford teacher faces action over 'misgendering' pupil - BBC News

Oxford teacher faces action over 'misgendering' pupil

Joshua Sutcliffe, a Christian pastor from Oxford, admitted he said "Well done girls" when addressing a group including the student.

He described it as a "slip of the tongue", but said he believed biological sex was defined at birth

The Thought Police are present in England, soon to be coming to the USA, unless God grants us repentance and mercy.

that's interesting. I'm a canadian and I've never heard of this. Who's going to remember these pronouns? and it would seem there is a measure of interpretation needed in order to apply a pronoun to someone before knowing what they desire if they even desire a transgendered pronoun at all. Perhaps they like the pronoun of their birth sex or they like the reverse and not a label that says they are different and lets everyone know it.

It seems it would be easier to remove all gender specific pronouns and use a neutral pronoun for all. People often couple this issue with race and if true then perhaps we shouldn't see gender and call everyone by the same pronoun, if there is no black and white then there's no male or female. Of course this creates it's own confusions as there still would be a demand for different bathrooms/change rooms as the vast majority of us are not comfortable getting undressed in front of the general populous of the opposite sex. If a "third" room is made does a transgender with male anatomy feel comfortable changing in front of a transgendered with female anatomy? In the context of a children's school is this responsible to allow?

Sometimes it is not even possible to eliminate gender as with some words they are built in like prince and princess... what would be the gender neutral simply "royal"? Other words like waiter/waitress seem you could just say waiter but isn't this picking a gender side rather than being gender neuter so it would have to "server"? Do we need to band all gender words in favour for gender neutrality?

You joke, but... Meet the 52 Year-Old Father Who Identifies As a 6 Year-Old Girl

Be sure to check out the ones in the side. Aside from sounding like you're speaking Elvish, you'll be amazed at what they come up with.
That's not a joke; that's a point. Jokes are witty, delightful and sometimes fictional. Nothing about what we're witnessing first hand in these last days falls in that category. In fact, as the old saying goes...This is no joke.

"Soon to be coming here?" Some would argue they're already here. :prayer:

Welby needs de-frocking. This is his response to the protest posters pinned on churches the other week.

You're supposed to only use the male version now. Have you not noticed how the media's dropped waitress/actress/etc?

The modern day inquisitors have given up on thumbscrews and racks in order to extract the words out of peoples mouths.

If you do not say what the Moral Authority demands you say, you will just spend years in courts, and lose your right to speak publicly in their institutions.
How enlightened we have all become.

Too soon for sarcasm?

Thankyou ,but no thankyou ,as I prefer to keep my sanity and focus on the higher ground rather than on the pit below .

You are so right .It is not so much that there are patently insane people who for whatever reason are deeply disturbed (there always have been and they should be treated ), but, that there are some who go along with the insanity ,epecially in the Church tells us we must be close to the end of the age and that God is using this to "seperate the wheat from the chaff " .
Since the Holy Spirit guides us to sanity and the Truth ,we can note those who are not of the Spirit , by their weakness to stand for the Truth .

What kind of nut allows children to pretend to be a different gender and then ask adults to play along?

Someone that believes they were born in the "wrong body" and wants to make physical changes to it based on how they feel is a huge red flag and obviously in need of psychological care. The idea of playing along with it and filling a kid with drugs and fantasies is criminal and monstrous.

Post-modernist Christians are to blame, most certainly.
Those who have remained silent share some of the blame too. Cowardice is not an attractive trait, although it is understandable.

Those who actively engage in fighting the culture battles are not to blame, but have the responsibility to fight the battles more effectively

Right on! Although why you emphasize Post-modernist Christians, I'm not sure. Maybe you are referencing moral relativism.

Erroneous eschatology is a major contributor.
