That’s cool with me. I identify as the crotchety old man from Up yelling at kids to get off my lawn.

I wonder, within the remaining duration of my teaching career, if I'll have a student who 'identifies' with themselves as already having graduated, with honors,even, and they are only first semester freshman? I've already had a couple identify as being NFL material and they couldn't even walk on to an NAIA, open enrollment, team!

Although, it appears strange to me, I see no downside to what he wants to do. If this helps his self esteem, I say go for it.

I support his fight for free will.. but i think he should also have to change his name.. so we can tell the difference.. LOL.. honestly.. i think a person should have the right to identify as what ever they want.. I don't see a downside to allowing this guy to do this..

I read about this yesterday. I think the world is slowly going completely mad!

Uhm.....
