According the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF), which published an LGBT glossary of more than 250 terms, the belief that there are only two genders — male and female — should be treated as "genderism."
The guide, which was published as part of the DCF’s Safe Harbors Project and was last updated July 7, defines "genderism" as: "The system of belief that there are only two genders (men and women) and that gender is inherently tied to one’s sex assigned at birth. It holds cisgender people as superior to transgender people, and punishes or excludes those who don’t conform to society’s expectations of gender."
"Gender oppression," according to the heavily-Democratic state, is "The societal, institutional, and individual beliefs and practices that privilege cisgender (gender-typical people) and subordinate and disparage transgender or gender variant people. Also known as 'genderism.'"
The Safe Harbor Project was originally created in 2001 to "educate against homophobia, gender bias and racism while working to create a world where youth, adults and families of all sexual orientations and gender identities are valued and affirmed, and to implement affirming and unbiased, culturally competent, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning & Intersex (LGBTQI) service trainings for foster and adoptive parents, social workers, child care and community providers surrounding the issues and problems specific to youth and families with inherent sexuality issues."
The guide explains what the DCF considers to be a family: "Two or more persons who share resources, share responsibility for decisions, share values and goals, and have commitments to one another over a period of time. The family is that climate that one comes home to; and it is that network of sharing and commitments that most accurately describes the family unit, regardless of blood, legalities or adoption or marriage."
The state also offers a definition of "Gayby," which is defined as the "child or children of a gay couple or individual. Used when talking about for both Lesbian/Gay couples and individuals."
"In keeping with Connecticut’s laws, regulations and ethics, DCF actively recruits LGBT foster and adoptive parents and mentors," the SHP website states. A spokesperson for the DCF did not return an email seeking comment.
The guide contains hundreds of other terms.
"Homophobic propaganda" is defined as "propaganda based on homo-negativity and homophobia towards homosexual and sometimes other non-heterosexual people."
The term "gender gifted," meanwhile, "refers to a person whose capacity for gender expression exceeds the binary."
"It is a positive term and can be applied to anyone who enjoys to challenge cis gendered normatives, whether it be in frame of mind, in presentation, or as an ally to loved ones who challenge the binary gender divide," the guide states.
The guide explains that a "Diva" is a "gay man, drag queen or woman that presents themselves as a strong-willed, confident and sometimes arrogant person. A diva is considered an icon to be admired for their beauty and pose."
The guide also contains the term "Ephebophiles" which "refers to a sexual preference for individuals from mid- to late-adolescence usually 15-20’s."
The term "D&D Free," the guide explains, is an "abbreviation for drug and disease free."
The state includes multiple examples of gender neutral pronouns in the guide.
The word "ze" is defined as an "Alternate pronoun that is gender neutral and preferred by some gender variant persons. Replaces 'he’/’she'." Similarly, the guide explains that the word "zir" "can be used instead of his/her." The guide also states that the word "Hir" is a "gender-neutral objective and possessive third-person pronoun used largely by the transgender community."
The guide also contains examples of "problematic terms," "defamatory terms" and "offensive terms."
The term "sex change," for example, is considered "problematic" and shouldn't be used. "Referring to a sex change operation, or using terms such as pre- or post-operative, inaccurately suggests that one must have surgery in order to transition," the government explains." One of the "offensive terms” listed is the word "homosexual," which should be replaced with "gay," "gay man" or "lesbian."
“"Bathroom bill," meanwhile, is listed as a "defamatory term" that was "created and used by far-right extremists to oppose non-discrimination laws that protect transgender people."

This isn’t a debate. These crazies are in government bureaus. They will enforce this lunacy at point of gun. Sooner or later they must be called out...or WE are the neuter.
I am so incredibly sick of this crap that it is hard to put it into words.
Regarding sonograms...I remember when one of my cousins showed my grandmother the one she just got done. She said “we’re not going to tell anyone the sex until the baby is born.” Grandma laughed and said that unless your daughter is going to have 3 legs, it’s a boy. :>)
If an official state publication does contain language similar to the above excerpt from the OP, then this is evidence that misguided, low-information, pro-LGBT activist state officials are unthinkingly violating the Constitution’s Clause 1 of Section 10 of Article I. The Founding States made that clause to prohibit the states from establishing privilege / protected classes.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphasis added].
CT...The looney tunes state...Only a 6-foot rise in sea level will ever bring sanity back to that mini-soviet state...
Liberals love making up stupid words
Anyone now who keeps their children in public school in Connecticut is guilty of child abuse.
There us no justification for an arbitrary subdivision of concepts. There must be some essential characteristic that distinguishes a third gender from male and female, and requiring special study, in order to make a new concept necessary.
Tey should call it “gender benderism.’
I still just call it queer
One small consolation when the Caliphate takes over is that the people who think this stuff up will be frantically trying to burn/delete it before the local imam finds out.
“The state also offers a definition of “Gayby,” which is defined as the “child or children of a gay couple or individual. Used when talking about for both Lesbian/Gay couples and individuals.”
Good lord they can’t even bring themselves to use the right word for an infant, but have to make up some special crap term right from the get go. That kid will turn out well adjusted. For sure.
Freegards
Connecticut has become certifiably insane
Negative, I am a meat popsicle
This gender phenomenom has never been observed in any other animal. They’re just making their own “facts”.
Strangely, many feminine forms of words are now considered either trivializing (stewardess, co-ed, majorette) or downright offensive (poetess, negress, Jewess).
Female Catholic priest-impersonators angrily reject the term “priestess.” But they insist on “deaconess”. Go figure.

Zat is easier to type.
They’re promoting child sex molestation? Why in heck are they promoting the use of the word ephibophiles.
OMG! Faggots are expecting child molestation to be legalized. And 1984 word change is in effect (new speak?).
>> It holds cisgender people as superior to transgender people, and punishes or excludes those who don’t conform to society’s expectations of gender.”
That precept totally creeped me out.
One can’t expect crazy people to use language consistently.
