What religion is that?

Even if that is the case then why make a law saying they have to tell the student's parents?

UPS, FedEX, DHL, Amazon, Bob's Backyard Mail Service, etc etc. We don't need the USPS, it's a huge waste of money for terrible service.

Ah, yes, the accusation that all people that are trans or support trans people are pedophiles, the same one used by homophobes when talking about homosexuals in the sixties in films like boys beware. It's almost like you bigots say the same dam thing every time a marginalized group starts to be accepted by society.

Sexualizing his little sister? Do you think anyone is is convinced that you’re anything other than a bad faith actor with this rhetoric

Odd position to have for one of the most rural states in the country.

I'd looooove a great recipe for tortierre and sugar pie.

You don’t know what education is for and have been here for years openly showing that.

So why would you assume random politicians know better than trained professionals? Also - I’m guessing you’re young - the experts aren’t the ones who said there were wmds in Iraq. It was the neocons in the bush admin.

Profoundly dumb

Thank you! No wonder they can't get anyone!

I believe the state starts at around 40K for CO’s and like I said the counties are paying $16-$18 an hour starting.

And yet equally as valid as your entirely factually incorrect argument!

Oh, I’m sorry I was working and not on Reddit every second. There are teachers that tell students not to say anything about the conversations they have about sexuality and questions they have. The teachers tell them to orient themselves in a certain way which they should have no say what so ever with. That child is a minor and parents should know if there child has a situation.

nope. straw man

That's true of every government job here. Makes you wonder who's running things.

We've had to use the national guard to drive schoolbuses, now prisons and soon classrooms.

If that's what you have been trying to say, you've done a terrible job of explaining it.

I'll make it easy for you though, it's not a religion. No one worships trans people or pronouns. Yes beliefs have changed but you're not protected from hearing other people's beliefs.

I talk to lots of people, just not religious fruitcakes like you (who are VERY much in the minority in secular New Hampshire)

Your argument is that pronouns are religious in nature. This is a dumb argument, and that’s why people are making fun of you.

Separation of church and state supersedes whatever stupid shit you are trying to push.

Also, Atheism is protected under established religions.

If your clergy agree with this it suggests they are using rhetoric as a tool to isolate you and make you dependent on them for community by "othering" differing view points. I recommend getting out while you can before you find yourself entirely dependent on the clergy for any thoughts or community you have.

> How can a word be a ceremony or rite?

Since you asked that, I believed you didn't know how a word could be a ceremony or a rite. If you were raised in a very religious household you should know this.

"Just because words are used in rituals does not make them rituals or somehow owned by religion."

That was not your question. So that was not what I was answering. You asked how a word could be a ritual at all.

"Candles, flowers, clothing, furniture, food. All these things are used in rituals. Does that make them inherently religious?"

No, and that was never my argument. My argument for hours now has always been the same- The new way that pronouns are used is part of a belief system and religion.

If you use flowers in a religious way, it's religious. If you use food in a ritual, it's a ritual.

Yes I was raised in a very religious household.

Just because words are used in rituals does not make them rituals or somehow owned by religion. Candles, flowers, clothing, furniture, food. All these things are used in rituals. Does that make them inherently religious? Do Christians own wine because it's used in church every week?

What does NH pay?

words are used in ritual every day. Literally. No exaggeration. -from the liturgy in houses of worship to the every day life of faith. Do you have little or no exposure to religion? Have you heard someone say amen? Peace be with you? And also with you? No?

I should add French Canadian
