Need advice, prayers

[Graham]

When I taught English overseas the kids all picked "English names" for themselves on the first day. The boys came up with all sorts of stuff. One named himself "Psycho." Calling on him was a frequent source of amusement for me.

Jayne, we just have different memories/info, of what was said across various threads and fora on the subject, including in private correspondence, and a differing understanding of the actual science of the condition.  No need to personalize it, making accusations about being "obfuscating" or "misleading."   Up to this point, it's a fruitful discussion bearing on the OP.

Just yesterday I went back and reread the original threads, so it is very clear to me that your memories are wrong whenever they diverge from what I just read.  I also just put in some time researching the condition, so that is fresh in my mind too.

It was upsetting for me to reread those old threads and see how I had originally been fooled and manipulated by the way the information was presented. So I am a bit emotional when I see you continuing to echo the same talking points all these years later.  Impy's actions were not backed by science.  No SSPX priests told him to live as a woman and to date men.  Virtually everything he said was speculation and rationalization.

It has little bearing on Heinrich's situation, although it does show how dishonest and evil the transgender rhetoric is and why we should not compromise with this movement.

We could ask "Clare Brigid" their advise, from our old FE days.       haha

talk about poison on the Internet...

Had "a talk" with principal on Friday afternoon. He moved her out of my home room. Complaints that I called her by legit name. I did. On iPad so I don't want to add any more now. Will answer any inquiries when I get to computer. Wasn't fired. Yet.

The morality of this whole issue is tricky to me. If someone in an insane asylum believes he's Napoleon, and you go along with it and call him "Napoleon" for a while to get him to co-operate in some fashion and not aggravate him – are you really guilty of lying or misleading him? So take modern society as an insane asylum and transgenders as people who want to be called by a different name to help them along with their mental illness – are you guilty for going along with it? You could say "yes" because you're co-operating with the normalisation of this mental illness, making it more likely that others will pick it up and similarly harm themselves; but then, even by being at a school where this take places aren't you thereby co-operating in some fashion? At what level of moral depravity are we obligated to withdraw from society altogether and live in isolation in the hills? This all gets extremely tricky and legalistic. At the end of the day, all you can rely on is your conscience and what you perceive is entailed by charity towards the person involved.

I would expect that anyone working in this day and age is within a few degrees of immoral co operation: Delivery drivers, accountants, doctors, medical professionals, military, military contractors, etc. That I am in a pronounced and clearly atheist, evolutionist prioritising, and ethically kaleidoscopic bureaucracy, ie a public school is troublesome to me, for sure. Living in smack dab in the middle of Trump country is no assurance that the City of God is my environment.  While briefing Mrs. H on the scene, I told her to not expect any support whatsoever from our acquaintances and colleagues in the community we live in.

I believe somebody already suggested this, but what about finding a job at a Catholic school? (An authentically-Catholic school, administrated by traditionalists. Perhaps one of the SSPX schools, or even one of the FSSP schools, or an unaffiliated school.) Though I can't say that there are many such jobs out there (I've been trying since the beginning of summer to find a teaching position for the 2020-2021 school year, and still haven't found any. It might be easier for you though, as your resume has more content than mine. But it probably also doesn't help that we're already two months into the school year. Unless some teacher unexpectedly becomes incapacitated, there likely won't be any openings until next fall).

If I get canned I am done with teaching. I'll work for UPS or something.

According to the owner of the nearby UPS store, there are a ton of UPS, Amazon, and USPS jobs right now, with more openings than applicants.  My dad was a postman for 40 years, mom staying at home.  The pay was decent, with very good benefits.  He loved being outside and getting to know customers.

You've got my sincere best wishes and prayers, Heinrich.

Blue collar America is much better than white collar.  I went to college to be a history teacher, and immediately saw teaching is about anything but teaching, and got out of that.  I still hoped for some sort of professional white collar work, and had an office job for 9 months, and hated it.  Now I work in a cheese packing plant operating equipment in the warehouse and making damned good money and coworkers that are for the most part good blokes, while not having to deal with the libtards that congregate in the "professions."  Come join us!

What kind of equipment do you operate? What training did you need for that? I am raising a bunch of boys here, and I am not to hot on college/uni so I am trying to be ready.

Thank you for any advice/answer
