Did a high end local "international school" let a 30+ year old Brit enroll because he identifies as a 7 year old girl?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Khmer folk don't understand ‘identifies as’ nor would they entertain or pander to someone claiming it. It would have been all over social media within days.
It's an international school presumably run by white people from the liberal Western country with which the school is affiliated.
So the Khmer folk who withdrew their kids from the school in light of this are the only people in the country who don’t use Facebook?
That would be such a great opportunity for likes, comments and shares. No Khmer could resist it.

You are shitting us. A reverse image search shows it's a pic from a movie promotion.
Are you for real?

I agree. My source is normally reliable but it's hard to imagine this happened last year and it was never posted online anywhere and only my source heard about it and no one else. Then you add my history of trolling and shit stirring around these parts and I'm not surprised absolutely no one believes this.

I haven't been on this forum as long as you so I don't remember GavinMac, I know that

'He's been banned about a dozen times under a multitude of handles for being a world class troll.'

is the only trace I can find of him, and reposts of his trolling work from 440. Surely you can't be him because this is not much of an effort, and surely one of his handles is not just a palindrome? Is CamNavig GavinMac? Too obvious.

BTW it's not even a good Movie - Rotten Tomatoes 50/100

Nearly every international school is Cambodian owned. The one exception I can think of is ISPP, which is actually an NGO run by a mixed board of parents.
Concept of thoughts and prayers.

An image search shows his avatar has a resemblence to a photo labelled 'Barney Miller'

Barney Miller - an American sit-com series?

Is this Cam Nivag in jail?
