Teacher: Demi Lovatoโs Pronoun Reversal Isnโt Uncommon
3 Aug 2022
BUCK: Want to take this call from Katrina in Colorado. You gotta hear about this one. Katrina, thanks for giving us a ring.
CALLER: Well, thank you for listening to me. Iโm a 19-year conservative middle school teacher, and thereโs more conservative teachers than I think people realize, but we need more support from parents still going to board meetings and just supporting what their beliefs are. Kids are changing their pronouns in middle school a lot, and I have 250 kids, and itโs really hard to keep track of weekly what their pronoun is or what their name is, you know, nonbinary name.
BUCK: This is fascinating to me, Katrina. How manyโฆ? Just estimate. How many pronoun changes among the children you teach have happened in the last year, roughly?
CALLER: Oh, it depends on the student. (laughing) Sometimes itโs weekly. Sometimes itโs โ

BUCK: So what doesโฆ? How does that happen? Like, take me through this process. I mean, I obviously havenโt been in a middle school in, you know, 30 years. So does a student come up to you, does like Little Bob come up to you, Little Bobby and say, โTeacher, I now want you to call me she,โ and do they change the name or do they have alternative pronouns too like zhe or they, things like that?
CALLER: It really depends on the student. Sometimes you get an email from the student โcause theyโre kind of shy about it or you get a counselor telling you. Iโve never had a parent tell me. Itโs either been a student or a counselor or we hear it, you know?
BUCK: Is it all he/she or she/he switches or are there some more creative pronouns that occasionally you are supposed to use? And also, do you have concerns that if you โmisgenderโ as a teacher are you gonna get reprimanded?
CALLER: Itโs usually he/she, sometimes itโs they, and yes I actually went to my principal and said because of how I believe that I wasnโt comfortable calling a girl a boy and a boy a girl, and she gave me a gender discrimination sheet. So I keep that was kind of a subtle (laughing) โ a subtle hint that I was supposed to play along. But some of my teacher friends and I that feel the same we just decided to call them by their last name.
BUCK: Wow.
CALLER: Because itโs hard to keep track of kidsโ nicknames and if thereโs changing names and changing pronouns, itโs โ
BUCK: I had a teacher who refused to call me โBuckโ in middle school because it was my middle name and not my first name. So things have changed quite a bit, I can tell you. First names only! That was quite a different time. Katrina, thanks for calling in from Colorado and share that one. Hereโs Demi Lovato as I was saying before, formerly on the Disney Channel as an actor has decided that, um, sheโฆ
โSheโ was using โthey,โ not โheโ pronouns. But you see, this is whatโฆ Well, once you start to play this game and itโs not objective reality, itโs whatever somebody feels, then youโre gonna have to keep changing it with whatever they feel. And also, thereโs a power it could here because you are expected to comply. If you donโt comply, youโre a bigot. This is what they tell you. So now itโs they tell to jump; you gotta say, โHow high?โ
Now itโs they tell you to dance; you gotta say, โTo what tune?โ This is true of kids now. We just had a teacher call in from Colorado saying the kids change their pronouns all the time and sheโs expected to comply with this. Somebody should ask Joe Biden about this. Somebody should ask prominent Democrats in office, โDo you think this is normal?โ They will evade. They will evade right now because no person thinks this is reasonable or normal.
