A New Hampshire student-athlete and his mother are suing the school district after he was suspended from a football game for expressing his view that there are ‘only two genders.’
The freshman student – only identified as M.P. in court documents – was discussing the difficulty of addressing a non-binary person in Spanish with his friends on the school bus when another student interjected to argue when M.P. replied, ‘There are only genders.’
After the short discussion on the bus, the students engaged in a debate over gender and sexuality in text messages. Those messages were turned into school administrators who suspended M.P. for ‘not respecting pronouns.’
