Bbc 9-Year-Olds There Are 'Over 100 Genders'

[fender62]

this is crazy, teaching children so young about genders, apparently there are over a 100 mmm
and i thought there were only two, i can imagine children talking about this in the playground
what they will make of it is anyone guess, confusing absolutely.

ZM: "You think the idea that there are more than two genders is made up, OG? " - of course it's ,made up.

[ToraToraTora]

OG 08:22, BA right there.

You’re doing your Triceratops imperession again I see, Tora.

[iluvmargie]

Lol if this was my thread, I'd give 9:53 BA.

[ToraToraTora]

there have always been effeminate men and butch women and it's quite possible that both/neither were gay but that doesn't mean they are somehow a different "gender". All this Bow Locks is a green light for every attention seeking weirdo to seek attention.

Please, dear dinosaurs, try to un-mire yourself from early C20th thinking.

‘ Sex determination – the way we are “coded” into a biological sex – is complicated in and of itself. There are far more options than just “male” or “female,” and countless instances of species that can actually transition from one sex to another within a single lifetime. ’

as I said at the Brighton conference, if you have a Y chromosome you're Geezer if you don't then you're a bird, end of.

[ToraToraTora]

even if we accept this BS, how can there be 100 genders? Women in a man's body, man in a woman's body, what else?

TTT, he wasn't a transvestite. He lived with a man that he called his husband and lived his life as a woman until he died. Today he would call himself transgender.

[LadyCG]

I despair!

[Spicerack]

Your mother didn't consider it necessary to explain all that to you, Barry. She was right.

[barry1010]

Not when I was 7 but she did when I met his husband a couple of years later, Spicerack.

[Spicerack]

Really? This story is getting better.

There are only two genders. Dict. 'Either of the two divisions, designated female and male, by which most organisms are classified on the basis of their reproductive organs and functions; sex.'

Anything else is an orientation.

"What is a haemophiliac?"
This is why kids have to be taught stuff otherwise they grow up as idiots :)

I am with TTT here, one of the AB farts.
Sex can be defined in scientific parameters being all about the sex chromosome.MALE or FEMALE or abnormalities of the sex chromosome which invariably causes medical conditions e.g Klinefelters Syndrome and Turner's Syndrome.
Sex.....simple, clearly defined,
Gender is what you want it tobe, what is in fashion, the vogue something to are the insignificant...significant and worryingly enough coming into vogue.
I will respect homosexuality as a concept.........but will never accept it.
As for the genders, there is no scientific evidence at the moment in genetic or biologically hormonal data..,,.....one just says what one feels, even as young as secondary school and it is becoming more common to accept this concept and even more worrying for the modern parent in particular to nurture it.

There are ways of teaching young children about gender that they can subconsciously absorb ie George in The Famous Five books was always illustrated as very boyish. Perhaps more stories with characters not strictly gender stereotyped would be the way forward. The teaching given in the BBC programme (assuming the report is correct) would float over most children’s heads.

[Zacs-Master]

Well, I think it’s simply lovely that people have AB as a platform to air their views, however misguided and anachronistic they may be.

[Khandro]

One can only conclude that many in the teaching profession, both male & female, are homosexuals. Why otherwise would any heterosexual person wish to propagate such rubbish?
