Trans-Identified Males In Services for Females
New research is proving medical transition does not erase the advantages biological males have over females. Placing them in female sports disadvantages girls.
1) Some states are seeking to ban males on female sports teams, as Title 9 is designed to protect girls based on biological sex.
"Tennessee bill would require students to play sports based on gender identified at birth:"
The bill's sponsor, state Rep. Bruce Griffey, called it a "proactive measure," meant to "maintain fairness" specifically for female athletes, he told CNN. Griffey said genetic males have "larger hearts" and more upper body strength that gives them an advantage in sports.
"It's not intended to demean, degrade, or diminish anyone," Griffey said. "It's just trying to maintain fairness."
2) Due to complaints about boundaries and privacy, schools in Australia are reversing decisions to make almost all toilets unisex.
PLANS for secondary school students to share gender neutral toilets at Brisbane's newest secondary school have been scrapped following severe public backlash.
Controversies around the affirmative model
1) Dr. Ken Zucker was libeled and fired from his job in the public Canadian healthcare system for being more cautious in medically treating gender dysphoria than those who support full validation under the “affirmative model.” Trans activists attempted to censor his talk at McGill University, but the talk proceeded anyway.
2) There has been a lack in transparency around an inquiry into the rising numbers of minors being put on puberty blockers in the UK:
In her fundraiser statement Sue Evans says: ‘The alarm bells began ringing for me when a colleague at the weekly team clinical meeting said that they had seen a young person four times and they were now recommending them for a referral to the endocrinology department to commence hormone therapy.’ Evans then quotes concerns about hormone treatment for teenagers cited in the British Medical Journal: ‘1) Young people are left in a state of ‘developmental limbo’ without secondary sexual characteristics that might consolidate gender identity; 2) use is likely to threaten the maturation of the adolescent mind, and 3) puberty blockers are being used in the context of profound scientific ignorance’.
Controversies Around Postmodern Gender Ideology
1) Not everyone appreciates the use of cultures who had concepts of a third gender, or who accepted effeminate males, to make what they see as invalid arguments to support postmodern queer theory influenced gender ideology.
What’s instead true is that American Indian nations that had more rigid gender roles and assigned women less power historically felt the need to strip male/female identities from non-conformers, while more egalitarian societies with less gender socialization lack two-spirit people because of, rather than in spite of, their lack of emphasis on sex-assigned gender roles.
2) A US court has found there is no legal right to demand to be called certain pronouns.
"‘Xemself,’ ‘Eirself,’ and ‘Verself’: U.S. Appeals Court Nixes Gender Neutral Pronouns"
3) Due to the influence of LGBT rights organizations, the census in Scotland originally was going to contain twentyone different sexualities.”
“Controversial list of sexualities could be dropped from Scottish Census”
4) Below is an article opposing an agenda to introduce postmodern genderqueer theory into school.
“Why children are being indoctrinated with gender ideology in kindergarten”
5) The Wall Street Journal has published an article laying out the conflicts gender activism has with women’s rights and the interests of the homosexual rights movement.
6) This article reviews some data around who is funding LGBT organizations and their ties to the medical industry:
As the example of the Arcus Foundation shows, the LGB civil rights movement of yore has morphed into a relentless behemoth, one that has strong ties to the medical industrial complex and global corporatists. The pharmaceutical lobby is the largest lobbying entity in Congress. Although activists present the LGBT movement as a weak, powerless group suffering oppression and discrimination, in truth it wields enormous power and influence—power it increasingly uses to remake our laws, schools, and society.
Legal Conflicts
1) A BC Court in Canada ordered a father to refer to his child’s preferred pronouns, and that decision has been overturned:
The Justice Centre obtained intervenor status to make submissions to the Court of Appeal, which heard the case in September 2019. The Justice Centre argued that children have a legal right to the protection of those who love them the most and know them the best: their own parents. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the liberty and security interests of parents in the raising of and caring for their own children, including a right to make decisions for them in fundamental matters such as participating in elective irreversible medical interventions.
2) “Oregon Appeals Case Could Set New Precedent for Nonbinary Rights:”
A case currently working its way through the Oregon legal system could set a new precedent for transgender and nonbinary rights in the state.
Jones David Hollister is a nonbinary person who lives in Lane County, Oregon. Earlier this year, they attempted to have their legal gender designation changed from female to nonbinary—meaning they would be seen as a nonbinary person in the eyes of the law—but their request was denied by Lane County Circuit Court Judge Charles D. Carlson.
3) “Former Nike contractor sues company for not using the right pronouns:”
Jazz Lyles, who uses the pronouns “they/them/their,” worked for the company out their Beaverton, Oregon headquarters. Lyles’ lawsuit, which was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court, claims that Nike and Mainz Brady, California-based IT staffing firm, put her through discrimination, harassment, and retaliation for dismissing her request to use her they/them pronouns.
