Today, while I was substitute teaching a middle school class, a boy, named Chris, refused to get in the boy's line for the bathroom. After I had said, "Chris, what makes you think you're a girl?" in a very loud voice, one of the other students said "She is a girl." I've scarred a child for life. FML

Today, on my first day as a middle school substitute teacher, the class I was in had blue passes for boys and red passes for girls. The kid in the front row raised a number two for the bathroom, so I handed her a red pass, only for him to brush his hair back and say, "I'm a boy." The whole class laughed and called him "Babe".

Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML

Today, I had to suspend a student. Apparently, someone convinced him that he turned invisible. He walked into the girls locker room thinking he could not be seen. I work at a high school. FML

Today, as two of my students walked into my classroom, I said, "Hi, ladies". One of them screamed at me: "Did you just assume my gender?!" FML

Today, a little girl came up to me and asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" I said, "I'm a girl of course!" She walked away, looking dazed and saying, "Whoa." FML

Today, while in class, I was called down to the office. The principal showed me a video of 2 guys fighting in the school parking lot. I'm accused of being one of those guys. I'm a girl. FML

Today, I’m doing my clinicals at a teaching hospital. An irate patient began hurling slurs and demanded I leave the room during her exam. She didn’t care that I was a student; she thought I was a man. I’m not now nor have I ever been male. FML

Today, I tried to stop a teenage boy from entering the woman's bathroom. When he argued with me I had him thrown out. Turns out, according to their parents and driver's license, it was a girl. FML

Today, I was teaching and a boy sitting in front kept laughing and smiling, even after I asked him to cut it out. I got so annoyed that I jokingly said I'd knock his teeth out, and asked him to leave the class. The kid went to the principal and told him I intended to hurt him. I'm a college professor. FML

Today, a coworker at school yelled at one of our students to be quiet. The kid got pretty upset, so I went to comfort him. He held my hand for the rest of the class, telling me in vivid detail how he was going to kill my coworker. Now I'm afraid to look at him. FML

Maybe try for Catholic schools or other ones with boy / girl uniforms. ;)

I went to a Catholic middle school, and no, we did not wear uniforms. My high school was also Catholic, and while there were uniforms, they were not gender specific. We wore the same blouse, vest, sweater and pants as the boys.

I did that once too, with a ten year old. I know a lot of people are saying YDI, but it's absolutely a FYL, man. Confusing a kid's gender in front of them really makes you feel really shitty.

Well, it sucks that you confused the girl for a boy if she identifies as female, but I don't see why you would care so much about gender. What if the child had been transgendered, male-to-female? You should have allowed her to stand in the line of her choice, regardless of her physical gender.

Uhhh. No. Physical gender is the ONLY reason gender specific bathrooms were invented. Imagine you're the parent to a biologically female child. Would you feel comfortable with your female child being FORCED to use the restroom with a biologically male child? I know I wouldn't. Yes, it is all fine and good for a kid to be able to decide whether they want to portray themselves as male or female. That's no one's business. But when in school, bathrooms are designed by biology, not preference.
