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

For everyone asking for proof I've added a link above.

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

[TheLimeNan]

www.wattpad.com/341462536-complete-list-of-genders-the-complete-list-of-all

[OfDeath]

For some reason that list doesn't have "male" or "female" and a lot of the definitions are ridiculous

[OfDeath]

Much obliged for MHO

[Mystic_Nova]

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.

[Anonymous]

I need a source for your claim tbh

[TheLimeNan]

Google 100 genders BBC news.

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks. And i'd comment on it, but i'm not British. hopefully you get some good answers.

[888theGreat]

BBC? They think pigs can fly

[TheLimeNan]

So do most news outlets.
But it's one of the most creditable news source we have here in the UK

[archiz]

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.

[jgracem]

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. :(

[ItalianGuy2021]

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.

[Dchrls78104]

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.

[cute_short_nerd]

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.

[dreamymeme]

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.

[TheLimeNan]

Article? Link?

[TheLimeNan]

Look at udate

[TheLimeNan]

Update*

[dreamymeme]

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.

[TheLimeNan]

I'm not posting a warning that's why it's a question. I just wondered what others thought about it.

[I-am-a-nobody]

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

[Walidbaierfit]

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?

[angecandy]

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

[D_Bone_Steak]

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.

[DizzyDesii]

They just confusing the kids. Leave it at female/male. The two that actually exist and matter

[888theGreat]

I say Male, female, and its , that covers it.

[DizzyDesii]

@888theGreat 🤣

[DrippingHoney]

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.

[Analogist]

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.

[doeadeer123]

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.

[Flower7]

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.

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

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.

[blondfrog]

Looks like the pokemon unknown pokedex lol.

[crazy8000]

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.

[Apple1996]

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

[888theGreat]

In the United States? They explain homosexual relations?

[Apple1996]

@888theGreat yes in the us and my god yess had more conversations about gay sex then straight sex

[Hermes-Paris]

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.

[ItalianGuy2021]

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!

[Apple1996]

@ItalianGuy2021 they have to teach about HIV and aids. Its essential that kids understand how gay sex works and that it also has risks just like straight sex

[ItalianGuy2021]

Well I was in high school during early 90s they taught about condoms but never brought up gays doing it

[Apple1996]

@ItalianGuy2021 well yeah that's how the 90s was. Like obviously I had sex ed just like 10 years ago. All that stuff is more open now in school. Especially when a lot of the kids were coming out. It's a important thing to teach

[ItalianGuy2021]

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

[Apple1996]

@ItalianGuy2021 omg you ridiculous. Yeah my school had a gay-straight alliance club and I would go there every Tuesday and Thursday. So many gay kids at my school🤣

[ItalianGuy2021]

Ewwwww Sick

[Apple1996]

@ItalianGuy2021 well I'm bisexual so I dont think its gross lol

[ItalianGuy2021]

Well I don't find bixexual women gross I am talking about men doing that kind of thing that is gross

[Apple1996]

@ItalianGuy2021 I think gay and bisexual men are very sexy

[John_Doesnt]

You got that graph from Info Wars. This video however proves that aliens are teaching kids to be gay.

[jakerson181]

I knew it was the fucking aliens. If only we had built that wall like we were supposed to.

[John_Doesnt]

@jakerson181 we need a force field covered holy water. A wall isn't gonna stop the vampire aliens.

[jakerson181]

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!
