Gender Identity

Businesses that don’t respect and accommodate an individual’s chosen gender identity risk incurring six-figure fines under rules implemented by the city’s Commission on Human Rights.

Gender 101: The List

Discussion

Fri, 08/19/16

Most of the “genders” on the list are variants of the classic drag queen/king or “transitioning/transitioned”. Notably “male” and “female” do not appear on their list of genders, nor are the various variants of drag queens and transgender types defined.

It will be interesting the first time someone sues because their “gender” is not honored, as there is enough legal wiggle room there to safely steer a supertanker through it with an ocean or so on each side for safety margin. Can you say “kangaroo court”? It will also be interesting to see if juries will convict a person of violating this in a city where “the bird” (and the related Anglo-Saxon phrase) almost function as greetings. I can imagine people saying “you know, if you can’t handle a bit of rudeness, maybe Iowa would be more your speed?”

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.

Reject Gender Identity Teaching in Charles County Public Schools

We do not want the children of Charles County to be part of a social experiment that has become a politically charged version of reality. Our teachers should not be practicing psychoanalysis without a license as shills for LGBT activists.

…. The LGBT movement in Maryland is a well-financed machine that seeks to redefine societal norms, one child at a time. More than 75 politically active organizations, some with an apparently different mission such as Planned Parenthood, have formed a coalition to support the LGBT agenda in Maryland in exchange for LGBT resources to advance their causes. LGBT activists recognize over 50 unique gender identities that include: agender, androgyne, bigender, cisgender, female to male, gender fluid, gender nonconforming, gender variant, gender questioning, genderqueer, male to female, transgender, transsexual, people of spirit, two-spirit, three-spirit, and four-spirit. They promote a gender fluid society where children are free to adopt, create, and discard temporary identities.

…. the LGBT movement plans to upend every conventional thought on biological sex/gender identity and control the dialogue with its own restrictive language that includes:

  • Eliminating the use of “gender-identifying” words such as “boy” and “girl,” in the classroom as those words are considered offensive,
  • Replacing “gender-identifying” pronouns with “gender-neutral” pronouns. For example, the word “ze” would replace the words “he” and “she” and the word “hir” would replace the words “him” and “her,” and
  • Referring to the students that accept their biological sex to be their gender as “privileged.”
