In the grand scheme of things, this post isn’t all that important.
I’m a nurse working with peds in a psych setting. The importance of this job and the severe abuse many of these kids have suffered, goes beyond what can be said in a short post.
We had a meeting this week, with the person running it- asked us to all declare our pronouns. By the time they came to me, I was so frustrated I just said, ditto, echoing the person who was before me. Luckily, nobody pushed us.
One of the girls is -I assuming transgendered or starting to …she’s going by the name of Alex and wears loose clothing. Her behavior/mannerisms are feminine and she seems like a really decent person.
Mental illness is so prevalent among these, the younger adult group -they really believe this stuff and not only expect us to be OK with it but to celebrate it.
My frustration is this— am I supposed to remember out of a group of 20 - 10.., specific gender requirements.
How the hell are we supposed to remember the specifics? Not to mention, is this even legal in the workplace?
Yeah, this week has been particularly challenging… these kids are lost and fully indoctrinated. For a time I thought they were almost oppositionally defiant. But I’m finding a lot of the kids are truly decent kids who have been indoctrinated. It’s really sad and they believe this indoctrination. Our country is going to suffer before it gets better, especially once our generation dies off, and they don’t know anything else.
