School Transgender policies

[Purpler5]

Has anyone looked at any school transgender policies?

I just found one that defined sex as

“the way a person’s body appears, sometimes wrongly, to indicate their gender”.

I’m new to these discussions but surely this definition is.... I can’t even think of the word....Weird? Unnecessarily complicated?

Honestly, who comes up with this stuff?!

Yes. I have looked at the SSA and TT material. It’s shocking what is getting through. Our school is using material from No Outsiders, which I am trying very hard to remove.

@MiladyRenata. I disagree with you on many points, including about the notion of disembodied male and female brains, and about the way for boys to escape male stereotypes being to identify as female. However, I just wanted to say that I appreciate that you (as far as I've seen) write politely, and engage in certain debates we've so often been ordered not to have. This is surprisingly rare - so, thanks.

the way a person’s body appears, sometimes wrongly, to indicate their gender

Insane. No biologist would give this definition as it’s useless for understanding anything about biological sex.

Small gamete producer/large gamete producer is the definition of male/female biological sex. I just did this in my UG class ffs. Sex is not externally applied by how other perceive you - GENDER is. But they won’t admit that either.

Species without large/small gametes (isogamous), or in which individuals all produce both (hermaphrodites) have neither males nor females. Some have hermaphrodites and males or hermaphrodites and females.

Humans are dioecious and anisogamous. Male or female body plans. Like all other dioecious species, Some individuals have the process disrupted somewhere along the line so they produce neither. The end.

Absolutely!

Funny how biology doesn't mention feelings about your sex.
