"You have no right to maintain your standards"

A substitute teacher in Canada has filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission after she was 'fired' from a Catholic school. The woman in question - a mother of two who is "in the process of becoming a man" - was removed from the substitute teacher's list after she revealed that she was undergoing a process to "change her gender." The woman who was "horrified" at this decision is now "determined" to get reinstated. How is it that she can be horrified by a Catholic school's decision to maintain rational standards but others are not allowed to be horrified by her ridiculous, abhorrent decision to "become a man"? Sadly, she is being backed by the Alberta Teachers' Association as well as legal professionals and human rights groups. The woman involved also claims to be "mystified" by the decision. No word on whether the woman's children are "mystified" by their mother's decision to "become a man."
