Nowadays while concerns about make-up may still be in pupils minds, its the make up of the schools sexuality that concerns the governing authorities. So each student recently had to declare their sexuality in a homework survey (no issues about data privacy at this school ... let it all hang out as they used to say) ... which was a sneaky way of doing this. The options offered, were to say the least, baffling (unless you are deeply into the LGBT scene).
- Girl
- Boy
- Trans Girl
- Trans Boy
- Gender Fluid
- Agender
- Androgynous
- Bi-gender
- Tri-gender
- Non-binary
- Demi-boy
- Demi-girl
- Genderqueer
(a) No idea what the f*ck most of these terms mean?
(b) Utterly PC crap?
I don't know this for a fact, but I would like to bet that 99.9% of the children opted for either Boy or Girl.
We let these minority groups have way too much influence in our lives, and they are turning sexual liberalism into a form of LGBT fascism ... just to cater for three per cent of the population.
Yes to all of the above. The sexuality of pupils should be none of the school's business unless a pupil should ask, and offering a long list of categories is unnecessary - it gives the impression that the person asking the question is getting off on writing it like a pretentious wine connoisseur, reaching for evermore flamboyant descriptions of taste and texture.
ReplyDeleteI suspect most of them are meaningless - for example how can anyone be 'Tri-Gender'? ... does that mean that at age 11 they don't know what they are being asked?
DeleteIf you want an explanation of most of these terms, the University of Rhode Island has helpfully provided it:
ReplyDeleteWhat an alphabet soup of utter nonsense it is.
