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."

We saw --- observed --- detected --- recognized --- our firstborn son's sex as male, months before he was born.
Hint: it's the extra ornament.
Understanding the difference between "male" and "female" is on its way to being a hate crime in Connecticut.
Might get in trouble for this comment, but I’ll take pleasure if these people wind up at the end of a muslim sword.
The reality distortion field is strong in Connecticut.
Get rid of people like this
And certainly stop paying taxpayer $$$ for this POS
Newspeak!
Most inflected languages have at least three genders - masculine, feminine, and neuter - and some have far more.
However, there are only two sexes, one of which is “assigned” to each person by biochemical processes at conception.
Their ‘field-operatives’ should be ‘disappeared.’
Believing in reality is ...realism?
Zat “wrong” too?
But those ‘inflected’ connotations did not, historically, include animate living people. :0) They were meant for inanimate objects.
I’ve heard there are 54 different gender identities? Or is it 56 gender identities?
Nowadays, liberals consider it “hetero-normative” and “binary” thinking to think there are just the two sexes, male and female.,
I sometimes wonder, what would my father, grandfather, uncles, etc. from the World War II generation, think of how this country has devolved??? Would they recognize this country as being the USA they remember??
Hey DCF, why don’t you shut the f**k up.
“Genderism” ...So that is like the new “racism”?
“Congratulations Bill, your wife had a baby boy”
“Doctor, your GENDERISM is showing!”
LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER! How many more billion tons of evidence do we need before people wake up to that fact?
There are only two genders, any thing else is mental illness.
Technically, they are correct...
They are a very few people born with an abnormal gender identify...
Very few...
Normal gender identifier are just Two...
And here I thought that "D&D free" meant the free version of "Dungeons and Dragons" ... silly me ...
Newspeak is alive and well.
How many “education professionals” are in fact functional equivalents of child molesters. The number has to be in the thousands.
Gender can apply to personal or impersonal nouns. The former category is being eliminated in English, although it remains in Romance languages. Aviator/aviatrix and actor/actress are just about gone, but we still have king/queen, prince/princess, and a few others.
These people claim that gender is a “social construct,” then turn around and say that a biological male is a “woman” just on his say-so. But if gender is a social construct, what can such a person even mean by calling himself a “woman”? The whole thing collapses under its own contradictions.
Genderism is a mental disorder.
