Racist and vile but not shocking. What do you expect from a Hitler admirer?
 
Florida school superintendent fired a high school principal, vice principal, athletic director and two coaches for the crime of allowing a transgender girl to play on the volleyball team. Students staged walkout in protest. Superintendent vowed as long as DeSantis is governor no trans students will be allowed on sports teams.

I am sure high school girls volleyball most important issue facing Florida.
 
Utah school district takes steps to protect teen after school board member appears to question girl’s gender on social media


A teenage girl in Utah faced threats after a state school board member appeared to raise questions about her gender on social media, eliciting a condemnation from the state’s top government officials.

In a since-deleted Facebook post, Natalie Cline, a member of the Utah State Board of Education since 2020, posted a photo of the high school basketball player on Tuesday and falsely implied the student is transgender, writing: “Girls’ basketball…”

Gov. Spencer Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson condemned Cline for her social media posts in a joint statement Wednesday. They urged the state’s board of education to hold her accountable. They also praised the Granite School District “for taking swift action to protect this student’s safety and well-being.”



“We were stunned to learn of the unconscionable behavior of board member Cline and others toward a high school student today,” the statement reads. “The last thing our children need is an elected official harassing them on social media.”

I kinda wish we wouldn’t bump these threads that this guy started? We have almost filtered out all the hate on here. Don’t mind the discussions, it can only help, but I don’t like seeing the names of people on here that used to pollute the site with ignorance and stupidity.

Best Buy offers to screen LGBTQ nonprofit donations after conservative pressure, filing shows
In an email exchange with a conservative think tank, tucked into an SEC filing, the electronics retailer offered to screen its employee groups’ donations to LGBTQ causes.

Best Buy offered to screen donations from its employee resource groups going to LGBTQ causes following pressure from a conservative think tank that holds shares in the company, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing made public this week.

The SEC filing contains a monthslong email exchange between the National Center for Public Policy Research, which describes itself as a “nonpartisan, free-market conservative think tank,” and Best Buy. The dialogue, which hasn’t been previously reported, shows how the center said it would make “a splash” unless the consumer electronics giant moved in favor of its demands.


In some of the last correspondence in the filing, Best Buy noted that it allows its employee resource groups “some discretion to directly support organizations of their choosing” but added that “any such contributions would be screened to ensure they do not advocate or support the causes or agendas you have identified as concerning.” One of the causes the NCPPR cited was transgender care for minors, which the group falsely described as an attempt to “mutilate the reproductive organs of children.”


In an email dated Jan. 17, Peck told Best Buy’s attorneys that his organization “will withdraw its proposal if Best Buy were to end its partnerships with and contributions to” eight different LGBTQ nonprofits and initiatives, which he refers to as “predatory butchers” in his email. These groups include The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization; SAGE, which advocates on behalf of LGBTQ elders; and GLAAD, an LGBTQ media advocacy group.

Conservatives are trying to find a way of saying "racism and homophobia are awesome" so people agree with them without anyone noticing what they're actually agreeing to.

"I don't like diversity and inclusion" isn't the slam dunk some think it is, though, and while some right of center but left of fascism might be sad or resigned to it, I feel like most everyone agrees that people of color are humans who need the same rights as white people, that queer folks are humans who need the same rights as straight people, etc. etc. etc. (and by rights I mean rights in deed not in word alone. If the system is still discriminating in action despite being equal legally, the system still needs changing).

The last two in this list make no sense to me at all.

It seems to me that LGBTQ has become the new Pi, with a nearly endless number of letters instead of numbers.

Most of these truly seem to be nothing more than a persons sexual preference rather than a gender, therefore shouldn't even be included in the group. But since that is already the case, in the first place. The list of LGBTQ, seems to be endless.

I am not trying to offend anyone here. So, if you are a "politically correct" warrior. Don't bother replying, I won't even debate this with that type.

If you believe they truly are genders or have a response worth replying to, or a question, I will listen.

People can identify however the hell they want.
 
Sex is usually categorized as female or male but there is variation in the biological attributes that comprise sex and how those attributes are expressed. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, expressions and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender diverse people.

An online search answered my own question, as well as confirmed exactly what I thought it was. A social construct. And therefore, has nothing to do with your sex at birth.

It also means that the pronouns you want to use are up to you. Society forcing their will over your freedom of choice, on a made up social construct, is purely asinine.

So I will never worry about not being able to use any groups pronouns, due to my autism. I won't ever allow anyone to force me to use them, on a socially constructed make believe fantasy.

Edit: Now that I answered my own question. I am done here.

Interestingly, graysexuality (also called gray ace, short for gray-asexual) and the concept of decolonizing gender have a lot in common conceptually: western Christian modes of discussing sexuality and gender focus really intensely on rigid roles in binary opposition, going all the way back to the establishment of original sin as a concept by the Catholic Church. In this paradigm you are a man or a woman. You are celibate or sexually active. You are heterosexual or homosexual. The paradigm allows for no in between values, nor values off axis from the single line.

Non-western, non-Christian cultures, especially pre-colonization, had already come to grips with the concepts of nuance and spectrum in gender, sexual preference, and sexual intensity. Instead of forcing those in between into one role or another based on the societal expectation placed on your genitalia, roles for people who aren’t in the binary were accepted. And no, nothing was perfect or all roses vis a vis discrimination, there was at least a societal mechanism by which someone could belong closer to their actual individual identities.

Gray ace is about sexual intensity, independent of attraction modes or gender. There’s a range at play here, but the queerness of it comes from the pressure western society puts on sexual desire and performance. It may seem like a silly thing to identify as but it does help to know for yourself so you can communicate clearly to your partner that you won’t be having sex much. That becomes a big sticking point in a lot of relationships and people get pressured to have sex more than, or feel frozen out if they have sex less than they really want or need to feel healthy. So this is a good marker to have handy as a point in discussing your compatibility with someone.

Decolonizing gender is about trying to counteract your own assumptions about how gender and sexuality will be expressed around the world, given cultural differences and upbringing. You could find yourself having a lot of friction with a trans partner from a different culture if you assume and pressure them to perform their gender in a way you’re culturally comfortable with but that erases their culture’s way of expressing the same gender. This friction is what needs to be worked on, and learning to recognize and accept and support ways of presenting or identifying that aren’t the version of gender and sexuality that you’re used to makes you a better ally in the long run.
