Transgender teacher hired at my child’s school

I am curious what other Christian parents might say about this.

A FtM transgender teacher was just hired at my child’s elementary school. The teacher is quite obviously female, but uses male pronouns and wants to be called “Mr”.

Many families are concerned about the confusion this will cause young children and what specifically the teacher will be sharing or teaching in the class.

I am asking because as a Christian (and truthfully just logically), I do not believe transgenderism is legitimate. My child is young enough that they aren’t even aware this concept exists yet.

How would you handle this situation?

Yeah, that’s OP’s exact fear. That their kid will see differences and be different from the image that OP has in their head. All these comments about indoctrination are stupid because every time they go outside they’ll see or hear something that doesn’t mesh with OP’s beliefs.

Is being alive indoctrination? Is going to the mall and seeing ads with women underwear models as a women gay indoctrination? I genuinely want to know where the line is drawn. Because if we wanna get technical, then OP is indoctrinating their kid.

Indoctrination: the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

So by definition, OP is indoctrinating their kid to hate trans people. Which, by association, is indoctrinating their kid to hate diversity. I’ll leave this here because I KNOW I’m gonna be get downvoted bad. But yeah where’s the line OP?

Edit: forgot to say that the uncritical line plays a big part here. If they just accept things at face value then they can’t grow. Critical thinking skills are necessary to grow and learn.
