 Ethical question- now that I have to work with a child with special pronouns, I'm worried that I'm going to slip up or refuse to play nice.  I have zero poker face.
I'm obviously rehearsing various scenarios in my head.  One is 'in for a penny, in for a pound'- I'm just going to let rip my views but I'm going to claim to be a lesbian.
I am not a lesbian.  But I have short hair and don't wear makeup and I think no one would question it.
So.... is that so terrible a lie?
