A name change is one thing. A gendered name change and referring to someone by their opposite sex is absolutely lying. Thank God my son chose a gender neutral name. From the beginning, 10 years ago, I adamantly but unconditionally lovingly defended my son's true gender. Very glad I did because my second grandchild is arriving soon, and there's no way in hell I or my daughters and their husbands will lie to their innocent little ones. The truth is, their uncle is confused- males cannot become females. I recall the Christ warning us of the priests in fancy robes. Shame on those bishops.
I understand your choice. I would just like to add, in defence of the Bishops, that they weren’t addressing the families of the children. They were directing that the attitude of the teachers should be one of fundamental respect while they are at school. ( The teachers get to go home and relax -they don’t have this pressure constantly on them, as you do). I’m very sorry that my post has added to your burden -I intended the opposite. God bless you.
What the bishops are doing, makes it even worse. They are de facto socially transitioning the children at school, often against the parents' wishes. Here is a good study about social transition being detrimental to children. https://acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/camh.12330
Abstract: A gender social transition in prepubertal children is a form of psychosocial treatment that aims to reduce gender dysphoria, but with the likely consequence of subsequent (lifelong) biomedical treatments as well (gender-affirming hormonal treatment and surgery). Gender social transition of prepubertal children will increase dramatically the rate of gender dysphoria persistence when compared to follow-up studies of children with gender dysphoria who did not receive this type of psychosocial intervention and, oddly enough, might be characterized as iatrogenic. Parents who bring their children for clinical care hold different philosophical views on what is the best way to help reduce the gender dysphoria, which require both respect and understanding.
Your post was no burden to me! Only an opportunity to share, even if I somewhat misunderstood you. I still don't think teachers should be forced into the position of lying, but yes it's a very sensitive subject with children and youth who are afflicted, and it's usually the sensitives who are targeted. There are plenty of good and truth telling bishops, but in general, organized religion is infiltrated, imo, so we should always use the discernment He gave us. No apology needed. Have a merry Christmas and may He bless you as well.
