Minnesota’s New ‘LGBT Education Specialist’ Thinks Teachers Should ‘Explain Nonbinary Identities’ To Preschoolers

[Revoltingest]

Poor kids. I pity them too.

I don't pity kids for learning that gender
is more than the false limited alternative
of either xx or xy traditional phenotypes.
Hiding the real world from them is wrong.

We can't go against our dna.

DNA offers more than 2 simple sexes.

Sex chromosome anomalies - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

And I'm sure there are non-genetic issues further complicating sex.
Moreover, there is gender in addition to sex.
Not every brain matches the body housing it.
It's useful to understand this diversity, yet many people
are either unaware or in denial of such conditions. This
leads to prejudice & harm.

No, it doesn't. How???

 

[SkepticThinker]

Simple. I'd rather not overload little kids with too much information they really don't need yet.

Let them be kids for awhile, let them learn to tie their shoelaces and cut construction paper , and make fun hand prints on paper plates as they learn to write their names on the bottom.

The adult stuff can come later on as their brains develop.

Is it "adult stuff" to know the proper names of your own body parts?

 

[Revoltingest]

No, it doesn't. How???

I linked the Wikipedia article on sex chromosomal abnormalities in the prior post.

The anomalies are targeting specifically males, and the other anomalies are targeting specifically females. Even the anomalies have sex!

 

[The Hammer]

That's understandable.

I don't understand?

 

[Revoltingest]

The anomalies are targeting specifically males, and the other anomalies are targeting specifically females. Even the anomalies have sex!

If determined to assign one sex or the other, that
can be done. But is this more useful than recognizing
a spectrum? And should sex be forever what was
assigned at birth? In cases of ambiguous genitalia,
doctors have made mistakes.
Also, there is gender, which adds another layer of
complexity by not always matching sex.

Categorization / labelling should be useful, ie, serve
a purpose. There's nothing to prevent us from
adopting that which serves society best. I argue
for the spectrum view for reasons posted earlier.

 

[Revoltingest]

Well, a hammer is a blunt instrument, after all.

a spectrum?

A spectrum? Ah, my friend! Now I understand why we can't agree. In my vision, there isn't a sex spectrum. I will explain. A man that has anomalie with his x chromosome doesn't negate the fact that he is still a man. The anomalies sometimes mean that the persons having them can't have kids by reproduction. So what? They are still men. The same goes with women.

And I also believe, gays nowadays the vast majority do NOT have anomalies chromosomes, they are healthy.

Even the anomalies have sex!

I do, but not as often as I want to.

 

[The Hammer]

No, it doesn't. How???

Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

Careful, you're starting to look like a nail.

True.

I try to temper my own bluntness at times.

Apparently I missed my school lessons on tact

That is one way to view things, & I won't say it's wrong.
But I find it less useful than a spectrum regarding gender.

Oh come on now! The woman is a chimera! So what?!?!?!?!?

 

[Revoltingest]

Those things do indeed attract hammers.

a spectrum regarding gender.

This is a matter of the mind games. A man says to me he likes other men. I respond: I don't buy it, pal. It's a mind game.

I have a hard time imagining any gay person willingly talking with you about being gay since you're so hateful and rude about it.
