I see you chose not to answer my question. I will respond regardless. Being a jerk isn't against the law.

I don't believe that the law prevents anyone from calling you anything. As for the teacher themselves, they have a wide range of things they cannot say in class without repercussion. Should a teacher be able to say they believe that Black people are inferior without consequence? Can a teacher call a student a little A-hole without consequence? Can a teacher describe their weekend sexual escapades in graphic detail to their class and face no discipline?
You'll note that I am not comparing any of these things to stating your preferred pronouns in terms of severity. I am illustrating that the logic you are using as the foundation of your argument is faulty.

Hyperbole. Although it appears todays youth are already trending that way.

I am always in favor of teaching the truth, in an age appropriate and unbiased manner.
