In public space, it is increasingly possible to hear about people who declare deficiency of recognition with their own sex and who request names and pronouns characteristic of the other sex or "sexually neutral".Such demands are directed towards teachers who work with young people affected by the problem of not accepting their own sex.For this reason, the Ordo Iuris Institute has prepared a guide on the rights and obligations of teachers and school principals who meet specified demands.
The Institute indicates that the increase in transsexual declarations has not so much medical background as it may be related to the influence of culture, media, including social media, and LGBT activists. Ordo Iuris emphasizes that a teacher, refusing to usage pronouns and names incompatible with the student's gender, may trust on the regulations of the civilian evidence law, which find what legally determines the name and sex of the person. The guide besides refers to the opinion of LGBT activists suggesting that refusal to usage preferred, gender-absorbent pronouns constitutes discrimination. They then cite, among others, Article 32(2) of the Polish Constitution, according to which no 1 can be discriminated against in political, social or economical life for any reason. Discrimination, however, means unwarranted treatment of a individual compared to another persons in a akin situation. Thus, addressing pupils according to authoritative evidence is an expression of equal treatment for all pupils. Ordo Iuris besides stresses that Polish law provides for the anticipation of changing the name in authoritative acts, but adequate reason for specified modification is not subjective recognition with another sex.
Marek Puzio, the author of the guide, besides points out that a teacher cannot be forced to usage names and pronouns contrary to the sex of a individual based on the opinion of a psychologist, sexologist or psychiatrist. The issuing of certificates stating transsexuality, as well as the making of recommendations by a school scientist to comply with requests for the usage of pronouns and names incompatible with the student's sex – without in-depth analysis and multi-directional investigation – may rise reasonable doubts, both in light of the ethics of the profession and the correctness of the diagnostic process itself.
The guide besides stresses that exerting force on a teacher to usage pronouns and the name of an unsexed student may lead to a constitutionally protected freedom of conscience and freedom of religion of the teacher. This besides applies to situations where the name and sex of the student would be changed in the civilian record.
The Institute besides describes the anticipation for the teacher to usage the available legal means in the event of a breach of his rights. Educational staff may, in specified cases, lodge a suit with the court or intervene in the municipal authorities or the State Labour Inspectorate or notify the law enforcement authorities. Ordo Iuris besides provides legal assistance to teachers whose rights have been violated.
