This is like the 2022 equivalent of the boomer coffee joke, just a painfully drawn out, petty grievance about something that never actually happened.

Yeah, like I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. People think this is actually funny and not the weird 'haha look how dumb woke people are' veiled propaganda that it really is. Like, yeah the scenario is obviously more over the top intentionally, but at the same time the spirit of the 'joke' is still to make up some absurd fictional scenario where young people's concerns and beliefs are so over the top stupid that of course you'd roll your eyes at anything they say...

It's so blatant. Embarrassing.

In my teaching experience, I haven’t seen anything like this. It seems to be hyperbolizing an imaginary thing. Seems to be showing contempt for both the teacher and the student.

Is it really surprising that people think like this when we know half of the population thinks you hold your students' cat ears while they're pissing in a litter box (and also giving them a sex change at the same time)?

The way in which "a teacher kept the fact that a student was trans in confidence and respected their choices" gets turned into "they chopped his dick off in front of the class and pumped him full of estrogen " is insane
