...the phrase “gender identity ideology” is actually nothing to do with gender, as in masculinity and femininity, and how this shapes our identities. Instead, it is used to imply that trans, transgender and gender non-conforming identities are a new fad, and that the longstanding social justice movement for trans rights is really a recent conspiracy of nefarious elites.
Well, Finn, maybe if they don't want to be considered as such, maybe they shouldn't spend all their time infiltrating organisations and changing their rules, eh?
The real gender ideology is the binary sex and gender system that requires all of us to be either male-masculine-heterosexual or female-feminine-heterosexual; and which attaches harsh penalties to those who deviate from this script.
Go blame Mother Nature for that. Railing against this is like railing against gravity.
...in its guidance, the Department for Education states that gender identity is a contested belief, and that many people don’t consider themselves to have one at all. They define gender identity as a person’s sense of their own gender, which may or may not be linked to their biological sex. In the document’s explanation of pupils’ “social transition”, this is described as using different names, pronouns, clothing or facilities from those provided for their biological sex. What all of us should read here, not in between the lines so much as actually in the lines, is the bizarre claim that things like this have a biological sex in the first place. How can names, the fabric of clothes, or the porcelain of toilets possibly have a biological sex?
Maybe ask the French?
When these stonewall idiots are able to change their body chromosomes then they might expect people to listen to them, until then there is only XX and XY every thing else is all in the mind.
ReplyDeleteJust what Ivan said ^^^.
ReplyDelete"How can names, the fabric of clothes, or the porcelain of toilets possibly have a biological sex?"
ReplyDeleteThey can't. A more useful question would be "How can people possibly have a grammatical gender - in English?"
What gets me, time and time again, is the statement that there are two genders. In English, there are three: masculine, feminine and neuter. There are two sexes. Gender is the property of a word.
ReplyDelete"...until then there is only XX and XY every thing else is all in the mind."
ReplyDeleteWasn't there a TV series in the late Seventies called 'The XYY Man'?
"A more useful question would be "How can people possibly have a grammatical gender - in English?"
Indeed!
"What gets me, time and time again, is the statement that there are two genders. In English, there are three: masculine, feminine and neuter."
We don't use that last one enough, I feel...
