Washington state and Oregon public school students as young as five-years-old have been receiving instruction on different topics related to gender identity and expression, including the idea that "there are many ways to express gender."

The Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction's "Health Education Glossary" defines "gender" as a "social construct" that is based on "emotional, behavioral and cultural characteristics attached to a person's assigned biological sex."

And Oregon's state board of education implemented health education standards in 2016 that require kindergarten and first-grade students to "recognize that there are many ways to express gender" and to "provide examples of how friends and family influence how people think they should act on the basis of their gender."

Taxpayers need to revolt

There are two genders. Everything else is a mental state. That simple.......

[Chickensoup]

and we have to stop using the word gender

and use the word sex to denote male or female.

[Jeff Chandler]

He, she, it, Baby!

[algore]

there are many ways to express gender, And many ways to expose yourself to Art

[Jolla]

So happy my kids grew up before this crap. My son knows he is a man, daughter knows she is a woman.
wasn’t the guy exposing himself in that picture a mayor of Portland inthe 70s?

There are so very many more ways to express “mental problems, stupidity, and lack of any ability to use logic”.

There are two sexes, languages have genders.

Teachers like these need to be fired, then dragged behind a truck to the edge of town. I am tired of this crap, and will not abide it. Any parent that allows this crap to proceed should also be dragged behind a truck to the edge of town. Enough of this queer crap.

They do love their gobbly-gook.

“There are two genders. Everything else is a mental state. That simple.......”

Exactly. They can express their gender all they want but in the end there is only a man and woman.

There are two sexes, languages have genders.”

from Wikipedia:

“Before Sexologist John Money and colleagues introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories.”

They can’t use “sex-transition” because that would be acknowledging that sex is determined at conception and is definitely not “fluid.” So, the concept of “gender-transition” hides, they think, the biological reality.

Can we PLEASE just stop celebrating the first female this or that now?!?!?

[T. Rustin Noone]

I think you can make the case that there are three genders:
Male
Female
Make-Believe (see: Pretend)

John Money was a pervert who sexually abused small children.

That is not opinion, that is fact.
