Title: Teacher was "forced" to resign for using a trans student's last name instead of preferred one.

Reason: User banned (1 week): transphobia

A lot of you are really mean. I can see both sides. It's complicated. He didn't call them by their birth name, he called them by their last name. Surely that person with the preferred name still has the same last name. If a student doesn't like to be called by their first name, I am sure you can still call them by their last name, just like anyone you'd speak to when calling customer service over the phone or gettoge any kind of service in person, people tend to call you by your last name. I get that they wanted to be called by their preferred name but I also understand how he avoided this by calling them by their last name and remaining in neutral grounds.
