They are starting to teach children there are over 100 genders in school. Is this too far? Or even correct?


I would accept 100 different sexualities but gender?
WHERE?
That would mean there are 100 different genital variations. But as far as I know there’s only vaginas, penises, having both and the absence of them.
Male, Female, Transgender Male, Transgender Female, Intersex and genderless. I’m talking straight science. Ways you can naturally or unnaturally have or lack genitals. I came up with 6. Your genitals are what determine your gender.
Things like being gender fluid depends on an individual’s “feelings” towards their own identity. But that’s psychological. Gender is biological. When you get into terms like demi and pans, it’s still a person’s feelings towards identity.
Gender isn’t identity and I think part of the reason why these terms keep evolving is because society pressures people to be a certain way based on how they look and when people go against that, they face abuse and get ostracized. So these terms come up to legitimize people for being “people”.
We need to teach children and adults that it’s ok to be different and we need to really understand how important it is to accept eachother. No one should ever feel that they need to alter their biology or any other part of them so that they can survive in a society that attacks you for being different. These terms will keep growing because they’re based on individuality and there’s billions of us. There are basically endless possibilities when it comes to what type of groups can form.
Acceptance is what needs to be taught.
I'd love a full list of what they are all supposed to be
American education system is a joke, for the fact that they can't even get the fact of only two genders correct. I hope they know, its reasons like this, that the world laughs at us Americans. While japan is teaching their children manners and disciple in kindergarten and complicated math by the time their in high school senior, ours get taught imaginary crap.
I need a source for your claim tbh
Google 100 genders BBC news.
Thanks. And i'd comment on it, but i'm not British. hopefully you get some good answers.
BBC? They think pigs can fly
So do most news outlets.
But it's one of the most creditable news source we have here in the UK

I mean they are a bit pushing it with all the nonsense "different genders".
I think it's good that they separate between sex and gender.
Gender can be more of a social construct and let's be honest a lot of us don't feel like we fit in a very strict category.
We all mix different attributes with certain %.
They just decided to label everything which I think is pointless, because labelling restricts everything all over again.
I rather say people are fluid or have a dominant characteristic that defines them.
I approve of the openness of the topic though at such a young age. I don't think it's confusing at all, personalities start morphing early on. And if any kid feels misplaced or odd, he can at least now accept himself better in case he doesn't fit the general stereotype.
There is only male and female. Nothing else. Teaching kids that there is something more than that is not only wrong, it is damaging to their mind. This disgusts me to a great extent. Lying to the very things that we are supposed to protect is horrifying, and shameful on so many levels. It sucks to see how the education system finds ways to push false narratives and agendas. :(
Well I will say there are hermaphordites in the world and also people with fucked up chromosomes who have the appearance and sex organs of the opposite sex that they really are so I can at least admit there might be 4 genders technically, Those 2 are very rare but it does happen I believe the truth which is sex is your gender there are male and female and whatever you call those other 2 kinds of things that do happen somehow. This is just a bunch of BS indoctrination so they can at some point say there is only 1 gender. Just the Satanic system at work.
Perfect example of the unhealthy junk to which it is irresponsible to expose children. Nothing good can ever come of such teaching. The facts of life, biology, and nature are that there are and can be only two genders, Male and Female. If you're born female, you will die female; if you're born male, you will die male. Anything else is unnatural. Children need to be told the truth. The world is already difficult enough, and infecting young minds with the aforementioned poison will not make things easier for children.
I say there are two genders, but whatever crumbles your cookie I guess.
I’m okay with the non-binary stuff, trans, whatever, but overall there is two, or in between, but no more than that please, no more confusion.
I had a sex ed lesson with my health class last year, they teach gender and biological sex are not the same and that if people prefer certain pronouns you should be respectful to them and not purposely mislabel them. Thats all they taught on genders, so I don't know where you're getting this "teaching hundreds of genders" but my guess is you're either mistaken or talking about some obscure instance where one teacher said that.
BBC news
Article? Link?
Look at udate
Update*
So right, looks like one teacher said that based on the video. So what? Sure you can easily challenge that statement but the exact number of gender identities isn't the point of that lesson, the point was to teach kids that its normal and ok to feel different on the inside and express that.
What she maybe should have said is "there are many differnet ways in which people define their gender identity." And left it at that.
Just as an added note it really is fucking stupid how this issue gets so much scrutiny. If a teacher said there were thousands of genres of books are you really gonna post some apocalyptic warning saying teachers are going too far! There aren't that many genres! Think of the children! Its just semantics, how people explain what they feel and how they want to live, however many ways there are to define things is, to reiterate, not remotely the point!!!
Well now im pissed😒 whatever i didn't feel like sleeping anyway.
I'm not posting a warning that's why it's a question. I just wondered what others thought about it.
Yes, there are only 96 genders, OK not really...
Seriously, there are two genders and the way they interact is a beautiful and marvelous thing.
Praise God for inventing sex!
There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Four which I do not understand:
The way of an eagle in the sky,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
And the way of a man with a maid.
Proverbs 30:18-19
Is this for real? I mean for me they can call themselves what ever gender they feel. But other people have their own thinking and feelings. So why should someone else be forced to think the way they do. If for me one person is a female in a biological way I will always think of her being a female. Also I would accept her gender she chose to be.
What if someone will think or feel completely different?
Seriously whu do they make it do complicated. I hope people dont blame me if i call them by the wrong gender or how i treat them if they look like a girl or boy, it is not my fault that there is a lot of gender now in this world. If they dont want me to get confused they should just say it first is we meet or else i am gonna be wrong
Conflating gender with sexuality or identity is an easy way to overcomplicate everything. I might identify as a gay black woman, but I'm literally white with a huge dick and balls to match.
Pretending to be a zebra shouldn't require a gender, but some people obviously really take their pretending too seriously.
They just confusing the kids. Leave it at female/male. The two that actually exist and matter
I say Male, female, and its , that covers it.
@888theGreat 🤣
This is why parents need to talk to their kids about what they learned in school... so they can correct the social warrior bullshit that their kids get exposed to.
They should teach kids that there are 2 genders genetically. Yet that people can choose their identity depending on how they want to be seen. That is their right and people should be respected in their choice. They should not be taught that there are 100 genders though, that's ridiculous. Identities yes, genders no. Non binary people for example are genetically male or female. Some are intersex of course and that should be taught too.
over a 100 genders is definitely too far. i am a supporter of LGBTQ+ but sometimes i do get the feeling that there are a bit too many genders. little kids should be taught of LGBT and such, but genders are for older kids. when i was little, i didn't even know the difference between a boy and a girl. there's definitely three genders biologically, but the rest of the genders are not quite biological. so it's best not to confuse little kids with that, maybe when they're older.
I think it is too far and also not correct. And I believe this is an inappropriate subject to be taught to young children. At the VERY least , it shouldn't be taught until they're old enough to take sex education classes.
Omg too many damn symbols. Who said there needs to be 100? People so desperate to not want to be labeled but yet they’re still in a label of unlabeled. This one of those few things of resistance being futile.
Looks like the pokemon unknown pokedex lol.
It's programming in the same level as religious schooling or like nazi (Hitler jugan) and communist marxistic.
Schools must be teached in a neutral teaching without any preference how you should see on thing's or any other person's point of view.
I got taught this in sex ed. Not this intense but that there is Male, female and some others in between. I really dont see the big deal about teaching this at school
In the United States? They explain homosexual relations?
Huh. In my sex-ed class we talked 5 minutes on homosexuality. Our old gym coach from southern Alabama just mentioned some men like to get with other men and some women do that too with other women. So let's skip chapter 8 and go directly to chapter 10.
They never once brought up homosexuals in my school why would they? It is not normal. If I had kids I would not want them learning about them let alone trannies!
Well I was in high school during early 90s they taught about condoms but never brought up gays doing it
I liked it the old way when they stayed in their holes and I didn't have to see them in public or on TV
Ewwwww Sick
Well I don't find bixexual women gross I am talking about men doing that kind of thing that is gross
You got that graph from Info Wars. This video however proves that aliens are teaching kids to be gay.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/tXcgRFNjjqoI knew it was the fucking aliens. If only we had built that wall like we were supposed to.
@jakerson181 we need a force field covered holy water. A wall isn't gonna stop the vampire aliens.
What we really need are Diamond and Ebony or Ebony and Ivory or whatever the hell those two are calling themselves this week to put their hands on the baby Jesus Trump"s shoulders one more time and just PRAY HARDER!
I'd say it's the right thing to do as people are still going to be whichever gender they prefer why not make it more acceptable by teaching to young kids who will start to think it's normal yea it may be a little too much but this is all about being able to express oneself without judgement which is the way it's going
There's only two. The "rest" are mental disorders and a crying out for attention.
People can have different sexual preferences up to and including some pretty wild stuff, but there simply aren't any more than two genders.
This is too much. I am with a full clear honest sex ed its so important in school. And they should teach kids that gender is more fluid in some people physically and mentally. So sexuality. And provide them with sources to read more about it. But not taking it too far. I struggled with my gender identity growing up and a little of reassurance would have helped. i did not need that much of info
My favorite part of the link was the sun screaming that they tell students there are over 100 when GPs only recognize 6.
THERE ARE ONLY SIX GENDERS PEOPLE*
*according to current NHS documentation, to be revised
Awesome battlecry.
Really? In what school district was this criteria added to the curriculum? There’s not 100 genders.
The hell!
Thats nonsense, nobody pays fees to schools to teach their child this.
Pretty sure the problem is the insistence of trying to measure gender on the basis of how "male" or "female" someone is and just accept that people are people and get on with it.
It confuses me! What is wrong with be the older ones? Gay, Straight, Bi, trans... What is the difference between them all? You'll still have to explain.
This is bad.. Especially that there are only 2 genders
There is male, and there is female, everything else is nonsense.
Saying "I identify as a mutant space leech" doesn't change anything...
No one is teaching that. Of course there’s not 100.
Weird how there's no room for God in the class room.
And I thought the periodic table was tough to memorize...
Well science says there are only 2 genders. Those people wouldn’t get an A in science if they believed there were more.
Well, that's enough. We should just finally agree that gender of any person is just unique with some possible similarities LMAO
There is male, female, genital modifications and sexuality dont try and tell me otherwise.
Dogs still have genders even if there desexed and so do people even if they are trans.
The're just using this as a weapon to destroy society. They know it's bull shit but it's a way to disrupt things. Marxists have done this kind of thing before.
Gender is binary. Gender identity is a another matter entirely.
It's only biologically possible to be male or female, whatever your sexual preferences are afterwards shouldn't affect it unless you get a sex change
also intersex.
Of course it's insane and it's cultural Marxist indoctrination. They always try to get to the children.
They've been teaching this stuff for a while over here. Yeah it's too far, it's ridiculous.
You sir, are full of shit.
Do you have anything to bring to the conversation or are you just going to behave like a two year old? @jakerson181
@Nachowedgie Don't worry. I'm not going to act like you. You've got the acting like 2 year old demographic to yourself.
If you were acting like me then you'd be acting like an adult, something you're clearly not well versed in despite being 37 as you've failed with every response
@Nachowedgie LOL You seem awfully obsessed with my age. You've mentioned it in every comment. It's kind of creepy really but I bet creepy is just how you roll. Don't worry you might make it to 37 someday as well. Maybe. In the meantime, you're just a 20 year dumb shit with a chip on his shoulder that I'm sure gets knocked off in real life quite a bit hence the keyboard tough guy act. If it makes your fragile ego feel better to think your comments are so thoughtful and insightful and that you win every argument in which you engage, knock yourself out. It makes no difference to me.
I'm pointing out your age because you're meant to be an adult yet you behave like a child. I mean your the only one projecting the fragility of your ego here, you're behaving like an "edgy" teen in a Call of Duty lobby. I'll happily converse with you about the actual topic when you've grown up a bit
@Nachowedgie If you genuinely wanted to have an adult conversation about it as you claim, then maybe choose a more adult, thoughtful and civil way to insert yourself into the conversation than "It's not his job to spoon feed you. You're 37 years old, grow up and do some fucking research and find it yourself, lazy prick." In the meantime, fuck off.
Oof now the man child is butt hurt xD
@Nachowedgie Do you really think this bullshit act of yours is working? Maybe it works with some of the other freshman at Dumbshit Community College. Muthafucker, I don't care if you live or die much less what you think of me. Now come back with some other stupid comment cause your insecurity always requires that you get the last word so you can think "I got him.".
I mean the same can be said about you cuz you're doing the exact same thing xD
@Nachowedgie "Awww, c'mon man... you're doing it too." LOL. That's your finishing move? Weak. I'll give you another shot at it. Try again and put some effort into it this time. I know that's tough for you.
I will when you learn how to quote people properly xD
That’s too much. LGBTQ+ is fine but why do we need to make it so complicated
Teach kids some life skills not a bunch of bullshit they probably won't use in real life.
I really hope this isn't happening in US schools... ugh
Nobody is teaching that. Also that article speaks for the UK not the US or other western countries.
Two genders. That's it, you can't change it. You teach my kid otherwise and anything related to gender at school then I'm taking him somewhere else. Teach math not agendas
Even transgenders use the male-female spectrum. This whole "third gender" and "demi" bullshit is for attention-whoring snowflakes who need to find another way of justifying their pathetic existence.
I don't think this is true; its not biologically false to teach kids there more than 2 genders but its also a very disturbing and disgusting thing to do to children.
Waste of my damn tax dollars going to indulge the mentally insane “identifying” as a gender-fluid oak tree.
Unnecessary just tell them the basic lgbtq every gender is a mix of those so after that you can put it together and mix them then there you go
Meh... there's always fringe shit going on somewhere. Someplace they're teaching that the Earth could be flat too.
You are either physically one or the other. There's nothing in the middle (except hermaphrodites but that's a different story).
This is exactly why i plan to home school, i dont want my kids learning that garbage.
aw some soy boy downvoted me and didn't have the balls to comment. How cute.. I hope your wife's boyfriend takes care of her.
well they have to stop making so many before the children can actually learn
Can you provide any other source than that tabloid, maybe?
There are so many sources if you just Google it
These shouldn't be labeled genders. Maybe the should be labeled preferences or something like that.
All these genders are just fake, in reality there is only a male and a female...
Dude I thought it was a list of unknowns from Pokémon. Yikes...
Disgusting, lying to children like this should be a crime worthy of time behind bars
This, This is why Democrats and the deep left go to far, in my opinion it is disgusting that they are pushing this on children. Absolutely disgusting.
