timefly posted:But what is the law, he says it's unique in how it compels you to use certain words or you can be prosecuted? Or maybe not everyone but maybe JP qualifies? I don't know, I looked it up the first time he mentioned it and it was obvious it wasnt likely to ever be applied but I don't remember now He's talking about the Canadian Human Rights Act, specially the combination of adding "gender identity or expression" to the list of protected categories and the Act's anti-harassment language. The question is whether repeatedly misgendering a trans person is harassment, and the answer is probably yes. So yes Peterson (or any other professor) could potentially face a fine for repeatedly misgendering a student. This isn't unique, in that you'd probably face similar sanctions for e.g. repeatedly calling a Wiccan student a heathen. But it's more live because it's harder to talk around or ignore someone's gender identity than their religion.

There’s certainly no popular culture references that they would have seen to inform them of this in the past.

I was a TA for a class with a transwoman student and I only realized she was trans because stupid university rules made it impossible for her to change her name on the class register. I'm grading papers for a quarter of the students and I'm like "I don't have a paper for this Johnathan Smith, I've got Julie Smith's paper, are they related? could she get me his contact info so I can see what happened? Also why do I have Julie's paper?" And then I found out what the situation was and also that some of the professors insisted on calling her Johnathan (thankfully not the one I was TAing for) because it was on the official paperwork. I'd get pissed if an instructor insisted on calling me Johnathan when I preferred John. (I didn't use their real name obviously}

I've had a couple assholes at work intentionally deadname me and facetiously say poo poo like "Oh im sooooorry, it slipped my mind, honest" while stifling laughter. I've also heard not so whispered "maricon" when i go past certain work stations. Another flat out refuses to use my name because he "doesn't believe in it". I asked if he didnt believe in the process of changing one's name which is in fact recognized by the federal government, and he angrily insisted out of nowhere that "because of the bible i'm not supposed to judge sinners for their sin so from now on we just won't talk at all, Deadname." The real prize was a person with authority over me, cornering and lecturing me for 45 minutes about "biological males" and all the dumb bullshit, right wing talking points about "the transgenders" are not to be trusted in public bathrooms cuz its just too easy an opportunity for them to molest and rape children. He made it clear he wouldn't let his kid in a restroom with any "transgender" then just happened to mention his lifetime of martial arts whatever in the same sentence. If that guy ever actually took a swing at me, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I reported that rear end in a top hat to HR but big surprise, all management did was angrily and condescendingly explain to me for ten minutes that "we're here to work, not discuss politics on the clock for 45 minutes." I'm one of the super lucky trans people as I've never been assaulted at work or been fired for having the audacity to be trans.

I mean of course. It's only once you start asking for a gender different name it becomes icky and wrong. Edit: Now if the guys give you a feminine nickname that's okay because you didn't ask for it.

Yeah, to a point. If the name on my paperwork is John and I ask to be addressed as Steve I wouldn't be shocked if some instructors choose to go with the name on the paperwork, because it's a weird demand to make. The name on the paperwork is the 'real' name, anything else is asking for a favour. However, if I went through the courthouse procedure and expense to legally change my name to Steve, and all my ID said Steve, then it would be very strange for the school to refuse to use Steve on my school paperwork.

There's a bunch of people who go by their middle name and every class I took there was a period of time in the first week where the professor would write down prefered names on their attendance list. Also I went to San Francisco State University so there were a ton of Asian kids who went by American names because we can't pronounce the names their parents gave them. If John wants to be called Steve, call him Steve and if John wants to be called Julia call her Julia.

When I was teaching, it was absolutely routine for students to tell me that the name they went by was different than the one on the paperwork, and it was almost zero trouble to make a note of it in the grading software. It's so usual that anyone who tried to make you feel like they were doing you a favor by calling you your preferred name would have to actively be being a jerk.

That mix up ended up being the longest single session with staff at a hospital for a mental stay that it kinda stuck with me. Talking to the billing department more than I talked to a doctor or therapist.

Cleretic posted:And, for the record for anyone who's reading this and going 'hey, actually wait a minute here': The water in our bodies does get affected by the gravitational force of the moon, of course it does. But because that water is in our bodies, the gravitational force of our body is enormously more influential on that water than the moon is. Also the gravitational effect of the sun is vastly greater than that of the moon on our bodies. The reason that the sun doesn't make tides is that the gravity differential across the diameter of the Earth is much greater from the Moon than it is from the Sun (factor of 1.067394 vs 1.00017). And the gravitational differential across our bodies from anything is utterly negligible, a factor of 1.00000001 from the moon or a factor of 1.0000000002 from the sun.

This reminded me to contact someone at my school about how even though I don't use my legal name, and turn in just about everything except legal paperwork for the school my chosen name, my name has to be my legal name on all the programs for recitals and concerts. Which is just confusing to people mostly, since a lot of people don't know that's even my name. I'm hoping if I email student affairs or someone they can do something so that I can just use the name I want to use. I'd get it changed, but I only recently cemented what I want the rest of my name to be besides my first, and the spelling of everything. Also, it seems like getting it changed after I'm done with all my graduating and getting the name changed on my degrees is going to be less of a big deal than doing it during school. It's just so weird to me that I can hand in every final with whatever name I want on it, but have to use my legal name for something like programs for chorus.

i wasn't called by my actual name for the first 18 years of my life by anyone (including my family) because my name is ethnic and i lived in an unincorporated Michigan farming community where even my teachers were too stupid to handle it. my parents figured it would just be easier to call me the lord approved name so I would get used to it

Although it's been weird for me since 90% of my social interactions are online that I'm so used to being called Ularg, I have always liked my name. The more I learn about myself the more grateful I am to have a flexible and nice name.
