Texas Tranny Teacher

Posted on | April 9, 2014 | 55 Comments

Say hello to Laura Jane Klug who, until quite recently, was Kurt Klug. In fact, as recently as July 2011, Kurt Klug was complaining on Facebook about the emotional turmoil caused by his wife leaving him. And so now, the divorced Kurt has decided to be “Laura Jane,” and wants to be a fifth-grade teacher in small-town Texas:

A transgender substitute teacher said she has been told she should not return to her classes, after parents complained about her.
Laura Jane Klug, who was born Kurt Klug, worked as a fifth grade substitute teacher at Lumberton Intermediate School, but was asked not to return after some of the students’ parents contacted the school.
Klug told 12 News that she met with a representative of Lumberton Independent School District’s Human Resources and Superintendent John Valastro Tuesday afternoon. Klug said they suspended her pending a decision by the school board on whether to continue using her as a substitute teacher.
Roger Beard, whose son was in the class Klug was subbing, said what concerns him is the distraction he believes a transgender teacher poses to ten and eleven year old children.
“If it does affect my child and his ability to learn or if it causes questions that I don’t feel are appropriate then undoubtedly there’s an issue with having somebody transgender, transsexual or transvestite, to be teaching that age group,” Beard said.
Klug said that she has substituted at the school without any issues before and she’s unsure what instigated the outrage.
“I have always conducted myself in a professional manner and would never discuss my gender identity in school,” Klug said.

The population of Lumberton is not quite 9,000 people.

You really need to read the report by David Bellow at Texas Conservative Republican, which includes comments from people on Facebook, e.g.: “Here is what a [Lumberton] teacher said yesterday at church: ‘He has 5 o’clock shadow and fake fingernails. The 5th grade class he was in spent more time staring at him than taking their test, so he was pulled out for hall duty.” We can expect LGBT activists to portray Klug as a victim of bigotry, but common sense suggests that if your mid-life crisis involves a sex change, maybe “fifth-grade teacher in small Texas town” is not an ideal career choice.

Fa’afafines are a real celebration and have to be distinguished from transexuals who are biologically male but want to live as female and often undergo sexual reassignment surgery.

In India I see men cross-dressing pretty often. The first ones I saw were men dressed as dancing girls. They were pretty outrageous, and I would often see them on the streets. A couple of times I did a double take, thinking they were woman, but then got used to seeing them.

The other thing I did see a few times was men, who dressed as women in order to take on the ‘bhava’ (the spiritual ‘mood’) of the gopis towards (Lord) Krishna. It wasn’t common, but it wasn’t unheard of.

I remember once being at a huge religious festival, and there was one man dressed as a woman, who had a lot of followers who considered him to be a saint. The ‘bhava,’ the mood, of this man was ‘friend of Sita.’ [Sita was the wife of (Lord) Rama] This was considered to be quite unusual because usually men who dressed as women were adopting the attitude of the gopis.

Imagine how the 5th graders feel.

Though you would think guys like this would fear the kids. After all, it was an innocent child who finally said what all the adults were too afraid to say: the emperor has no clothes! And he’s not a woman, either!

True. Additionally, paying a “doctor” to mutilate your genitals does not change a boy to girl. Nope just results in a boy with mutilated genitals who dresses as a girl.

Out of ideology is birthed the right and wrong ways to do things, what is good and what is bad, ideas that when taken so seriously, bring about wars. Not that this is not part of the perfection of the moment…just something to observe, like everything else.

Transgender student files complaint against Christian university for not letting him live in male dorms
Katherine Timpf, Reporter @kctimpf

A female-to-male transgender student has filed a discrimination complaint against his Christian university, claiming the school must allow him to live in men’s dormitories regardless of its theological principles.

George Fox University released a statement on Friday claiming that allowing the student, named Jayce, to live in on-campus male housing would interfere with its efforts “to be a Christ-centered community.”

“Our residential facilities are single gender because of our theological commitments,” it continues.

The Oregon college told the student that he could, however, live with other male students off campus or in his own on-campus apartment.

But the student said this is not good enough.

In the complaint, filed with the U.S. Department of Education on Thursday, Jayce’s attorney alleges that the college is violating Title IX regulations which require equal treatment of the sexes at schools that receive federal money.

More at the link. However, the article title, “Transgender student files complaint against Christian university for not letting him live in male dorms,” is incorrect; it should read “Transgender student files complaint against Christian university for not letting her live in male dorms.”

Clearly, the smart admissions department would not admit a student who is “transgendered.” He is nothing but a walking lawsuit.

This also shows the danger in accepting Title IX money from the Feds. My guess is, much like Sandra Fluke and Georgetown, we will be seeing an increase in these agents provocateur, seeking to destroy any Christian institution which attempts to maintain fidelity to a set of beliefs and conduct.

There’s nothing wrong with playing “dress-up” per se. Frankly, I think priestly vestments are silly, but I’m neither a believer nor ritualistic by nature, so that’s hardly surprising.

As for those in religious orders, most of the more admirable nuns and monks I’ve encountered eschew the “dress-up” game whenever the rules of their orders allow it.

Since it’s important to be able to distinguish medical and airline personnel from those they serve, some sort of distinctive attire makes perfect sense — but if someone in the spiritual guru role isn’t clearly up to that seva/service by virtue of discourse and/or darshan *without* costumes or formal credentials, there’s obviously a more serious deficiency involved!

Realization has nothing whatsoever to do with rituals or uniforms; these are pure ephemera, usually anomalous and anachronistic in the context of modern culture — more importantly, they say nothing about the authenticity of a realizer or his/her efficacy in the role of a spiritual guru. Iow, they’re merely fashion statements that are of interest only to the fashion-conscious among us. Pretty stuff is nice to look at, of course.

Now this is how it works: the spiritual guru in the west has to look indian, dress like an indian talk like an indian and act like a devil in desguise, while the crowd around is quite apathic and boring; to make a clear distinction.

If you were making a bet about that I wouldn’t take it, because that’s exactly what is happening now and will continue to happen.

Maybe it’s just me, but I generally don’t inject myself into situations/places/groups that don’t want me around. Hate Mormons? Fine, I don’t want to be a part of your group. Think conservatives should be lined up against a wall and shot? I really don’t want to spend any time with you, either, so I won’t. You feel offended that I won’t celebrate the gay lifestyle? Fine, I won’t patronize your business. I do not understand the overwhelming desire some people have to make everybody else validate their life choices by making those people feel ashamed of their beliefs or, failing that, making them a target of ridicule and attempts to destroy their lives. I disagree heartily with my lesbian friend, doesn’t mean we can’t still be good friends.

There is really nothing to be gained by forcing your views on other people, though if your goal is to create a gotcha moment to use against them, I guess this works. It is, however, immoral, and decent people would dismiss the effort. Unfortunately, we do not live in a time where decent people abound, so we have people who can get away with this stuff because they belong to whatever victim group is fashionable at the time.

I’ll have a hard time persuading some about sexual preference not being a matter of choice. The argument goes, since God doesn’t make “mistakes” then obviously there is a choice and some are just perverse.

Any choice in the above issue, is the same choice, whether gay or breeder.

I heard it during a discussion between a rather gorgeous transexual and a Texas beauty queen–ha ha ha–one queen quite straight and quite convinced that since God wouldn’t approve of much less create homosexuality, then logically (?) homosexuality and all its glorious manifestations was a perverse (evil, sinful yadayada) choice. And nothing would ever convince Texas pageant puppy and her ilk (the Snake people) otherwise.

Most of the nutcases who mutilate themselves fall into 2 categories…

1) Men so emasculated they feel turning into a women is a logical “progression” themselves… these seek male partners and will often try to hide the fact they are male themselves.

2) “Overmasculated” men, usually of a frustrated but high testosterone background. They have strong narcissism traits and get off on “banging themselves” as women. These will call themselves lesbians and look for equally broken women.

It’s not about seeking “validity,” a concept which is remarkably fluid in the mind of Man. Rather, it is solely about destroying the Order of Society. “Jayce” is just a foot soldier in this fight, and I’m sure if you asked “it,” s/he would say its battle is about some progressive nonsense like “equality.” I don’t wish to sound conspiratorial, but those who have elevated these sorts of behaviors do so for one reason: Destroy Marriage and The Family, in order to leave the State there to pick up the pieces.
