A Florida fifth-grade teacher sent a letter home with students asking that they refer to her by gender-neutral pronouns, causing a stir among parents.

Chloe Bressack — a new math and science teacher at Canopy Oaks Elementary in Tallahassee — acknowledged that it will take “some practice for it to feel natural,” according to the letter, “but students catch on pretty quickly.”

“My prefix is Mx. (pronounced Mix). My pronouns are ‘they, them, their’ instead of ‘he, his, she, hers,’” the letter titled “About Mx. Bressack” reads.

A copy of the letter was later posted in a private Facebook group called, “Tally Moms Stay Connected,” where some parents strongly opposed the request. Others were in favor of it, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

Bressack said her main priority is that students feel comfortable in her classroom as well as “have a space where they can be themselves while learning.”

Bressack’s introductory letter also shared other personal facts, including her favorite color (red), animal (giraffe) and candy (sour Skittles).

The school’s principal, Paul Lambert, said he backs Bressack’s gender-neutral request.

“We support her preference in how she’s addressed, we certainly do,” Lambert told the Tallahassee Democrat.

“I think a lot of times it might be decided that there is an agenda here, because of her preference — I can tell you her only agenda is teaching math and science at the greatest level she can.”

Bressack also refers to students by their preferred pronouns, said Superintendent Rocky Hanna.

“According to Principal Lambert, the teacher addresses students daily by using the pronouns he, she, him and her. The teacher also uses ma’am and sir when responding to students,” Hanna said.

As a personal preference, however, the teacher simply prefers to be referred to in gender-neutral terms as that of a coach,” he added.
