If you want to control people’s thoughts, begin by commandeering their words. Taking this Orwellian lesson to heart, Virginia’s Fairfax County public school system recently stripped the phrase “biological gender” from its family life curriculum, replacing it with “sex assigned at birth.”
Without permitting parents to opt out, public schools across the country are teaching children that “gender” is neither binary nor biological. It’s closer to a mental state: a question of how girllike or boylike you feel. Students will fall anywhere along a gender spectrum, according to these educators.
So how girllike does any girl feel? The answer might reasonably be expected to vary throughout adolescence, depending on whether a girl was just dumped by a boy or tripped in the hall. Mishaps that once only compromised one’s pride now threaten a child’s gender identity, the ever-evolving claim to a “girl card.” As if adolescence weren’t already hard enough.
This is the left’s allegedly defensive battle, waged on behalf of an aggrieved microminority even as it sets its sights on broader ideological territory. Consider recent state and local actions punishing those who decline to use an individual’s pronouns of choice. California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation last year threatening jail time for health-care professionals who “willfully and repeatedly” refuse to use a patient’s preferred pronouns. Under guidelines issued in 2015 by New York City’s Commission on Human Rights, employers, landlords and business owners who intentionally use the wrong pronoun with transgender workers and tenants face potential fines of as much as $250,000.
Typically, in America, when groups disagree, we leave them to employ the vocabularies that reflect their values. My “affirmative action” is your “racial preferences.” One person’s “fetus” is another’s “baby boy.” This is as it should be; an entire worldview is packed into the word “fetus.”

What are your plans when your school district commands you to do so?
Time to pull all children from public schools and refuse to pay the taxes that fund them.
Thought experiment: what happens when the leftist bastards have finally wiped out the entire concept of "girl" and "boy"? How can you feel girllike or boylike if there are no more girls or boys?
Liberals implicitly understand this concept but deny it is wrong when they use social pressure or force of law to enforce it.
A good counter-example is the Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale”. Offred says she knew X was a lesbian. The Aunt slaps her and says, “Gender traitor.”
This is happening in Fairfax? Glad I went to school there more than 20 years ago....
I’ll push back. If that fails, I’ll quit. If the school wants to give up the integrity of what is taught and learned in favor of insanity, they’ll do it without me. This school, I think, has better sense than that. And the students, many of whom are from strongly-traditional cultures, wouldn’t buy into the insanity anyway. Teaching them this kind of stuff would not only confuse them, but would also waste their time.
To be accurate, they should replace the “offending” phrase with “sex assigned at conception”.
Since we all have a a-hole my recommendation is to call it a b-hole.

Gender is not “assigned” at birth; it is observed and recorded.
I don’t think the Trans can say “God made them like that”???
I think i’ve got it.
If you keep saying something doesn’t exist, like “biological gender” than it doesn’t exist.
If you keep saying something exist, like Man made Global Warming, than it exist!
It’s because the mass populous didn’t yank their kids out of public schools 20-30 years ago we have this freak circus today.
Think of all the children the lefties faggos have brain washed in the past several decades.
By whose authority? Certainly not a higher one.

“And the students, many of whom are from strongly-traditional cultures, wouldn’t buy into the insanity anyway. Teaching them this kind of stuff would not only confuse them, but would also waste their time.”
That is true all over the country, but schools everywhere are building unisex bathrooms. School Boards and school administrations all over the land are all infected with the extreme liberal disease and are shoving this crap down the throats of conservative Americans everywhere.
