To be fair, Zeus was known to identify as bulls and swans and things but only to get in the pants of some unsuspecting mortal woman.

God, nothing changes, does it! 😁

That's a good letter but I don't believe for a second that it was written by two 14-year old girls

I believe Mercury is seen as the more androgynous god. Not heard it about Zeus, except for the one where he turned into a swan as PP mentioned above (he was also bisexual I believe).

I suppose a more obvious fantasy co-option would have been Achilles, he at least dressed as a woman and hid in the women's tent!

Zeus/Jupiter is non-binary? I must have missed that in my Homer and Virgil. Still, as we saw on the "gender identity as religion" thread, co-opting the deities of other religions is indeed a mark of a religion.

Very well written letter, needs the education secretary to act on it, the very small but incredibly vocal minority that is the transgender activists are making it impossible for people to have any view but there’s, if this was a political party insisting there was no truth but there’s, the country would be demanding it be gagged

As well as this, teachers must remain neutral when discussing this topic in lessons – we’ve also both experienced times when biased teachers attempt to implicate gender ideology in innocuous topics, for instance claiming that Zeus, the Greek God, was “non-binary”, or that Lady Macbeth was “gender-fluid”.

Fucking hell, Zeus now? It's such obvious claptrap, it's still difficult to believe it's actually happening.

Teachers also shouldn’t be asking students their pronouns, especially on the basis of non-conformity, or their sexuality / sexual preference, both of which raises major safeguarding concerns.

Jesus. How have we got to the point where children are desperately trying to safeguard themselves - from their own teachers.

Awesome letter girls! I am very glad that people are starting to speak up about just how much bullying is taking place from and because of the gender ideology movement. It's clear male supremacy.

Well done those girls, that's a great letter. This jumped out at me We deserve privacy whilst in vulnerable positions, for instance while getting changed, and our rights are destroyed when you bring boys into the equation because that's exactly it, their (our) rights are being destroyed and schools are enabling it.

That's a cracking letter - well evidenced with a mix of resercrh and personal experience. Well done to them. I like this:
We should not be coerced into using biologically incorrect pronouns for classmates, and we must not be punished for refusing to do so. However, at this current time, according to Policy Exchange almost 70% of schools force other students to participate in a gender-distressed child’s “transition” – this has to change, and we are not going to stand for this destruction of our freedom of speech and belief.
