600 mass shootings this year, but oh no lets wring our hands over some make believe on gender norms. Cries of “MY child would never..!” ring out across the land. Obviously it’s the fault of retail and the media.
You will never witness Kelly or any other proud transphobes sitting down with a group of transgender children to learn who they are, instead of stroking their ignorance about what they are. Attacking the transgender community, especially children, just to satisfy personal religious insecurities is unconscionable.
The 25 Nov issue of Science says there is a strong movement in Academia to change the teaching of undergraduate biology courses because biology only refers to two sexes and this may make some students uncomfortable. …I wish I was making this up… (I’m okay and will support you if you feel you are a (fill in the blank), but the biology says chromosomes are chromosomes).
Wanna know what the folks like Kelley are really scared of? That they might not be able to identify the “others;” the ones they are against and don’t like. I have a very good friend who transitioned to male, and if you met him, you’d never know he was born female. And that’s the crux of it – being afraid that the “others” walk among us and the bigots like Kelley might not be able to pick them out to demonize them.
“Check out your birth certificate and surely you’ll see a designation for sex. When you were born, a doctor or clinician assigned you the “male” or “female” label based on a look at your genitalia. In the U.S., this has been standard practice for more than a century.
But sex designation is not as simple as a glance and then a check of one box or another. Instead, the overwhelming evidence shows that sex is not binary. To put it another way, the terms “male” and “female” don’t fully capture the complex biological, anatomical and chromosomal variations that occur in the human body.
That’s why calls are growing to remove sex designation from birth certificates, including a recent recommendation from the American Medical Association."
false witness, Kelley; NOBODY is selling prepubescent girls books like this. And NOBODY is telling ANYbody which pronouns to use—THAT is rather the point: the choice of pronouns IS one’s personal choice, right?
Well if anyone is interested in what’s actually in the book, note that there is nothing about bypassing parental consent.
“Being transgender is not an illness or something to be ashamed of. If you’re questioning your gender or if you already know for sure that you’re trans or nonbinary—talk with an adult you trust, like a parent or school counselor. That person can connect you with a specially trained doctor, who can help you and your family decide what’s best for your body. "
“At first, you and the doctor might talk about wearing the clothes and using the pronouns (like he, she, or they) that make you feel most like the true you.”
“If you haven’t gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body’s changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity.”
“Studies show that transgender and nonbinary kids who get help from doctors have much better mental health than those who don’t”

Too bad people like SKelley and MLester don’t read or know any science…or really know any women, as far as that goes.

We must also never teach Greek mythology. We can’t have our innocent children making sacrifices to Zeus!
