Student says there are 2 genders, all hell breaks loose (UK)

A 17-year-old student has been suspended for three weeks for stating there are two genders to a teacher who insisted there are actually many genders “by law” and by “national school policy.”

The U.K.’s Christian Institute said the unidentified teacher in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, told the student to “keep that opinion to your own house – not in this school.”

The teacher, assigned to teach “Personal and Social Education,” scolded the student for discrimination. But the student argued he was merely stating there are two genders and “anything else is a personal identification.”

DailyMail.com posted a video of the exchange made by the student:

One of the teen’s friends told the Mail on Sunday: “He decided to film the teacher because he wanted to show what was going on in schools today for simply stating there are only two genders.

“He has nothing against anyone who identifies as LGBTQ, but completely disagrees that there are more than two genders and that it’s a social construct.

“He believes telling kids that boys are girls and girls are boys is a very dangerous thing and wanted to get his views across to the teacher. His view is that scientifically there are only two genders.”

Britain’s Independent newspaper said the student’s suspension was for posting the video online rather than for his comments.

The student first was removed from the classroom and then informed of the three-week suspension.

The fracas apparently was sparked when the teacher claimed it was “old fashioned” that a website onto which he logged allowed only male or female gender options.

An Aberdeenshire Council spokesman said the public sector has a legal duty to show “due regard” to certain “protected characteristics,” including age, sex and “gender reassignment.”

I haven't read the book but I've read and heard about it. I wonder if it is from a secular perspective. If so I'd probably find the movie "The Devil's Advocate" even more prophetic because it shows Satan as the one corrupting the entire system from the high seat of the legal system.

I used to think this whole gender identity nonsense was laughable but I now consider it frightening.

Pretty soon they will convince people that underage (18) is not really underage.

Just another obvious manifestation of the degeneration of the UK into a muzzlime/commie collection of garbage humans.

I read “1984” in junior high. I have lived long enough to see his writings of warning become prophetic. We, not the government have invited “spying TVs sets” into our homes, and information about every aspect of our lives in public no tyrant ever dreamed of. All is needed is a dictator with the desire to start the ‘keylatch” machine and make the Hitlers, Stalins and Mao’s of history weep in shame.

It’s here so be armed.

“Devil’s Advocate” was a good movie, btw.

There is a rare genetic disorder in which some women are born with 3 x chromosomes instead of 2, but they are still genetically and biologically women.

".... The teacher....scolded the student for discrimination...."

The teacher scolds the student for discrimination....as the student is discriminated against for voicing their opinion, by being suspended from the school.

Liberals: "Do as I say, not as I do."

And Winston, if the state say that 2+2 = 5, and not 4, what is it?

I agree that they are working on that hard. The thing that upset me a lot on that front was the mom who has a tranny 10 year old that was making all the network morning shows because he was simply fabulous (bad enough) who then did an appearance at a gay nightclub and he strutted around in a short dress and high heels on a stripper stage and peeled off certain clothing items like gloves in a simulated striptease while men hooted and threw dollars at him and the press reported this like it was a great moment in diversity and tolerance. I was disgusted because I could see the agenda: sexualize a boy, normalize him being an object of overt lust from men, tell everyone it's normal and good.

The good news is that there was an article the other day about the mom getting all mad because she's taking a lot of heat for letting him do a striptease for gay men. She's indignant of course but at least there are still enough sensible people out there that she's nervous she went too far.

The student is wrong. There are three genders, feminine, masculine and neutral. There are, however, only two sexes.
