And a child who questioned it was asked to leave the classroom.
Aibu to want children to be left alone to enjoy their childhood?
As an adult I can't get my head around 73 genders.. How can a child process that? Year 7s, 11 years old.

I’m going to start saying I’m quoigender (also apparently known as WTFgender)

  • Dis-identifying with the concept of gender, either as a social construct or as something potentially applicable to oneself
  • Finding the concept of gender identity to be personally inaccessible, non-nonsensical, or inapplicable

73 genders? Wtf are they?

  1. Male
  2. Female

In all seriousness this is because there is no national curriculum or centralised exams for PSHE.

Turn PSHE into an ordinary GCSE, with specification points, learning objectives, trained teachers... all of these problems would disappear.

As it is, schools outsource to dodgy external providers for pshe resources and training, based on which website looks the most professional, chosen by a newbie assistant head.

But what is the agenda? I get the tolerance,children need to accept & show kindness to all. That's a non negotiable.
I'm in Ireland where it's being shoved down our throats by the government & they want trans education in primary schools. A tiny minority of the irish population identfies arls trans.
However we have a huge influx of refugees. I would prefer our children to learn about how we can help them integrate into the community. It would also offer wonderful learning opportunities around geography, languages, culture, history & food.
But no they are bowing & scraping to these trans organisations who I will not let educate my children.

Oh here's a last little snippet because there are some fun things there. I love Quoigender: feeling as if the concept of gender is inapplicable or nonsensical to one’s self. nonsensical is definitely the right word. And if you didn't think that was stupid enough, I give you..

Surgender: having a gender that is 100% one gender but with more of another gender added on top of that.

So it's 100% something but also has something else. Right. These morons don't even understand how percentages work. How can they describe such an import aspect of my psyche?

Proxvir: a masculine gender similar to a boy, but on a separate plane and off to itself.
Quoigender: feeling as if the concept of gender is inapplicable or nonsensical to one’s self.
Subgender: mostly a gender with a bit of another gender.
Surgender: having a gender that is 100% one gender but with more of another gender added on top of that.
Systemgender: a gender that is the sum of all the genders within a multiple or median system.
Tragender: a gender that stretches over the whole spectrum of genders.

TheLaughOfRustyLee · 07/03/2023 23:49

Gyragender: having multiple genders but understanding none of them.

This definition is too funny.

Gyragender could literally summarise all the made up genders that are not just plain old (boring) male or female. I think the transgen(d)eration are just obsessed with labelling themselves. Totally and utterly self absorbed and self obsessed.

PearlClutzsche · 07/03/2023 23:50

Ah, you beat me to quoigender, @Tapenade ! Can't believe anyone had actually heard of it!

Isle of “Man”.
How dare they assume the island’s gender?!?

Brilliant.. I'm sure there's someone out there with a plot to get it renamed "Isle of Them" 🤔

meaningless because most people haven’t heard about them and can’t relate to it

Leopardprintonsie · 07/03/2023 23:59

I can't get my head around the fact that an 11 year old child was asked to leave the classroom & accused of upsetting the drag indoctrinator for questioning him.
What kind of teacher or principle allows this. Where was the safeguarding of that child 😕

Spoilsport. I have you firmly pegged as a Perigender; that's just like something they'd say.

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 08/03/2023 00:03

Actually, I think this sort of idiocy is rather a Good Thing. It’s like Lia Thomas towering over the other swimmers,,or that large person in the red sparkly dress who won the beauty Queen contest. It’s is patently ridiculous that people who don’t normally notice or mind these transgressions on reason, fact and decency become alarmed or outraged.

of course , it’s still wretched for the women and children involved, like the innocents at DQST, or the bathers at Wspa. They , and all the mutilated children, are sacrifices on the transaltar. I hope they are avenged.

For sure, we may as well just give them enough rope to hang themselves with, @Allthegoodnamesarechosen
Sometimes it's better to show than to tell.

Is there an International Them's Day, too?
I'm sure it's only a matter of time if not.

Mummyof3Me2021 · 08/03/2023 00:12

It just screams "Look at me! I'm special and different"

Fs.

It's all laughable. If there weren't so many schools buying into this crap.

I think that poster was being sarcastic.
At least, I bloody hope so!^

I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to say so this may be deleted, but no, I’m not being sarcastic exactly, children were recently being told there were over 100 genders! I don’t personally ‘believe’ in them though I believe in biology.

If you believe in biology and think that sometimes this matters, you might be interested in this to protect ours and our children’s futures after even more years of gender identity ideology indoctrination.

What I find maddening is that these Trans indoctrinators can't be questioned or challenged. They are so fixated on their way is the only way.
That poor boy who questioned the & said quite rightly there are 2 genders as this is what he had been thought was removed & accused of upsetting the trans guy.
Noone even an 11 year child is allowed question them. Why have they so much power & wtf are they in schools?
