She was ordered by the headteacher before the start of term to go along with the wishes of the pupil to 'socially transition' under the guidance of controversial LGBT charity Stonewall.
It meant calling her by a boy's name and using male pronouns, and also involved an ultimately futile attempt to keep her gender change a secret from classmates.
The child, backed by her parents, was allowed to wear a boy's uniform and to use the boys' lavatories and changing rooms. Troubled by the situation, the teacher, referred to as 'Hannah' for legal reasons, raised the matter as a safeguarding issue, believing it endangered the child and other pupils in the short and long-term.
'We hear a lot about protected characteristics - what about the right of a child to grow up?' Hannah told The Mail on Sunday. 'It is heartbreaking.'
She added that children are being supported by teachers and schools to believe that they are in the 'wrong body'. She is bringing a case against the primary school and Nottinghamshire County Council, claiming she was victimised for whistleblowing and unfairly dismissed in 2022.
The case begins in Nottingham on Tuesday. She said her sacking, for wanting to protect vulnerable children from harm, has torn her life apart and left her with the prospect of never being able to teach again. She had enjoyed five happy years at the school and her record was unblemished. But she noted with dismay how 'education became increasingly politicised'.
In 2021 the school adopted training methods devised by Stonewall, which urges teachers to 'remove any unnecessarily gendered language' from the classroom.
Hannah believes the toxicity surrounding the transgender debate has created a climate of fear in schools. 'Nobody is prepared to speak out or challenge decisions made without discussion,' she said. She now works in a sandwich shop 'where we are more freely able to discuss these issues'.
She added:
'Teachers are being bullied into not questioning trans-affirming policies when evidence shows that the actual result of the approach is to put the welfare of children at serious risk. I am determined to pursue justice.'Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Hannah, said:
'For years, parents and teachers who have raised safeguarding concerns over these issues have been ignored and disbelieved.'

If I remember correctly, in French, the chair is female, but in German, the chair is male.
Oh, the horror!
Sometimes I wonder what the hell that neighbor is up to - he seems not to really have a job and maybe tis none of my business, but when we had chickens in our backyard one time I had nice conversation with his wife, but haven't seen her in a long time cause the neighborhood ain't what it used to be....

Uh - what the fuck was I talking about?
Oh yeah - I consider chairs inanimate - I also think this:
Best to put it all on the table, but zigaboos have proven their hatred of humanity - therefore in the name of defense tis time for them to be eliminated permanently - I say it here at sott.net in the Cone of Silence and I'm not kidding around and I know I'm not alone and I can spot a trickster more than a mile away....
Tis time for some reaping I reckon.

In honor of Saint Patrick - he knew how to get rid of the snakes - I like snakes natural - but metaphorical snakes - I like killing them or at least calling them out.
If Germans and Brits have something in common, it is their over-socialisation and faith in government.
And perhaps their fury when a situation arises which allows them to release their anger and take revenge. As a funny & curious side note, I noticed another strange difference.
While in languages closer to Latin (Southern Europe) the "sun" is male and the "moon" female, it is the opposite in some Northern European languages, e.g. German.
Meanwhile in Canada the zigaboos are trying to silence our free speech with prison terms up to life.

what ignominy that would be that a true to no doe brings down the Maple Leaf....
what a shame it all is...
Oh Canada...
Ergo - males give and females receive....
tis all written in the book but look at your body - do you receive or do you deliver?
So sorry for all the post-modernist think this is imaginary and without matter, but it does matter whether one is born with a dick or a vagina - and most times tis one or the other - so consider that factual sentiment.
Don't refute the way you were born is what I would say - don't mean you can't act one way or the other, but some things are physical and that is obvious to all cepting maybe the post-modernist who think matter is imaginary....if that is the case, then we all ain't gonna last long....cause we must just be the imagination in the mind of others - that is bullshit.
I can fell - I have fallen - and I feel my fingers typing and this whole gender discussion is nothing but a tool of elitist dimwits trying to separate us from what we all know matters - family and friends and living together. Listening to music as well.

Take a walk in the woods if you think that makes no sense - but I think it matters and I stand by it and I defend to the death.
My curiosity is about whether the language killers have any similar inroads on gender bullshit with continental languages, particularly given that they all (most all) apply gender-ful terms to even their tables and chairs. I haven't seen any evidence of it, but I haven't been looking for it, either, so...
Thanks for your answer.
Yeah can you imagine if they tried that in the USA...
If it passes I saw former Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice state there will surely be big legal challenges to it. We already have so-called Hate Speech laws. Imagine if the Zigaboos end up getting life for perpetuating, and promoting genocide in Gaza and Palestine to fulfill their Greater Israel program. Rebel News / True North spew hatred towards Palestinians a lot and in eastern Canada they have big protests too. Those alt news platforms, are clearly Zionist, but fully supported the Freedom Convoys etc....
And if it passes of course it will chill free speech and I and others will fade into the sunset, for hunting, fishing, gardening, lol...

Everyone needs to realize they need none of the nonsense.
here are the possibilities:
they die off in false ideology - 80%
we all die off - 20%
~
can't have it both ways....my bet is they die off and then the "rest of us" can get back to some sanity.
Please note - per the odds above (correct are they?) - they die off completely either way - I consider that a win for Mutual Aid. Because if "humanity" goes to the devil, then the rest of life on Planet Earth would be pleased with the extinction of the failed species never learned to be mutual.....
DUH
The place of the state is subservient to the citizens - The People.
Tis up to the mother and father to raise their children as they see fit - the state has no role in this and indignancy with the state is growing exponentially - the time is now.
Exactly !! While I completely agree with ReRan on parents responsibility your point is THE point. WOKE is a communist based indoctrination program designed to break up the nuclear family.
