A 13-year-old girl was called “despicable” by her teacher at a Church of England school in the United Kingdom on Friday after asking a classmate how she identifies as a cat.
In the clip, taken by one of the students, the teacher starts off by saying, “How dare you, you’ve just really upset someone” by “questioning their identity,” according to The Telegraph. “Gender is not linked to the parts that you were born with, gender is how you identify, which is what I said right from the very beginning of the lesson,” the teacher said.
The teacher then interjected, raising their voice to say that while the students may consider being cisgender the “norm” it is not the law. A parent of another student who received the same lesson told the outlet that while they understood the point the teacher was attempting to make, they shouldn’t have prevented students from having a discussion on the topic.
