To be shocked that some people believe an adult male could go to class with 7 year old children?

This is hilarious but also shockingly scary that some people would agree that an adult male could go to school with actual 7 year old children if he identifies as a 7 year old child and also that one female would believe that he can also be a Chinese woman but not a 6’5 Chinese woman as she draws the line at height when it comes to identity 🤯

Inclusiveness should have been about allowing people to express themselves as unique individuals, but the opposite seems to have happened and people seem afraid to express their individual thoughts in case those thoughts are wrong

This is a very astute comment.

This is the generation that grew up with Facebook. Who used it extensively while their brains were still developing. I think our biological drive to learn and ability to accept social learning is effectively working against us.

Dunno what happened there, sorry. I am also seeing a lot of people on the other side complaining about the lack of respect for experts and expert knowledge. Whether it's part of the same thing, or a knee-jerk response I don't know. I don't fully trust either in extremes. We used to be allowed to question experts freely and expect them to be able and willing to explain.

I notice he didn't REALLY step outside the box by saying he was a 7-year-old black girl who wanted to attend a 1st-grade class in an all-girls school.

Although it was interesting to watch the young 'woke' people squirm, they clearly didn't believe he really thought that. Whereas, if someone really appeared to believe this, they might have a different response.

I'm not certain. They are Americans and they would have watched endless television as children and been just as sheeplike. It's not genetic, but the USA seems to have very effectively developed brainwashing through mass media long before other countries caught on. There are very few original thinkers from the USA younger than Arthur Miller and Chomsky.

Now of course, these US techniques are being applied in most of the world.
