No way would I play along with some kid's delusions. I would quit or be fired first.
I used to use my middle-school students’ preferred pronouns.

I recall only a few years ago, a student informed me she had switched genders.
Reading roll call that day, I had to decide.
Do I call her by a new name, refer to her as “him” and begin a charade, pretending she’s a boy?
I used her new name.
