Category: Schools & Gender Ideology

In England 800 schools have been sent copies of a children’s book, for children ages 8-11, entitled, What Does LGBT+ Mean?

In the book they are taught that a person’s sex is “assigned” to them by a doctor at birth and that gender can be a “sliding scale“.

The Times reports the book is….

Written by mother-and-son diversity campaigners, it features a picture of a doctor holding a clipboard and pen by a row of babies under the “assigned sex” chapter. The book adds that “gender is different from assigned sex” and is who they “feel” they are, with examples given as “male, female, both or neither”.

Author Helen Joyce, from the advocacy group Sex Matters told The Times:

Nobody is assigned a sex. I’ve given birth twice and both times I knew what sex the baby was at 20 weeks. It’s just absurd. How did we get to a place where teachers feel they can sit and say to primary children, ‘Some people feel male, some feel female, some feel both and some feel neither’?

(See my rebuttal of the “assigned” fiction here.)

If you wonder why states like Florida have written new laws about these matters, this is why.

According to The Times:

There are also two pages dedicated to an explanation of sexual orientation, with labels of heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual and asexual.

The book…

includes a section on “gender as a spectrum”, saying: “Some people find it useful to think of gender as a sliding scale between male and female.” The scale is shown with labels in between male and female, including mostly female, partly female, both or neither, partly male and mostly male.

The pushback from Gay men continues. Gender Critical Lesbians, especially in the UK, have been raising red flags for some time now by suggesting that misogyny is at the heart of Gender Ideology. And they have been denounced as TERF’s (Trans-Exclusionary-Radical-Feminists) for doing so.

[See my post about Philosopher Kathleen Stock.]

Here is a 13 minute video interview where two Gay men express their deep concern about Gender Identity Ideology and how it has captured important institutions.

The Gay Men’s Network was founded by Dennis Kavanagh – who is the legal commentator for Lesbian and Gay News. He says “gender identity ideology is a perfect vehicle for homophobia.”

"At the core of gender identity ideology is a simple proposition: if you're a gender non-conforming boy, if you're artistic or autistic, not big & macho, that's evidence you are in fact a female."  -  Dennis Kavanagh

The Queer Theory inspired abolishment of sex and sexuality is behind the Gender Identity and Expression movement. And more and more people are catching on….

For years Stonewall in the UK was considered by homosexuals as the premier gay rights advocacy organization. But not any more. According to the interviewer (who is a gay man):

Stonewall on their website and in their promotional materials, they've changed the definition of homosexual to say that this doesn't mean same-sex attracted this means same gender attracted and what they're meaning by that is that actually biology has nothing to do with same-sex attraction.  Where of course I would argue that at the core of the gay rights movement is an acknowledgement of biology. [5:25]
