Gender dysphoria — a rare medical condition that makes people feel mismatched with their sexual anatomy — occurs in about 0.6 percent of the adult population, according to the UCLA School of Law’s Williams Institute. Anyone afflicted should be treated with kindness and offered medical help.

It first appears in childhood, but with so few children affected, the curriculum should not be distorted for everyone. Elementary-school teachers are putting words on the blackboard like “nonbinary” and “transgender” even before kids have learned multiplication.

But Maine’s Department of Education reports that between 13 percent and 18 percent of public high-school students say they’re “lesbian, gay, bisexual or unsure” of their sexual identity. It’s no wonder when the curriculum programs them to doubt their identity. In school it’s cool to be anything but heterosexual.

Maine requires public-school teachers to explore the achievements of LGBTQ+ individuals, not just in health class but also in history and social studies. That’s indoctrination since teachers are not asked to do the same for the celibate, for example.

We have achieved things in history and our lives have been profoundly affected by discrimination that we don’t want people to perpetuate. Also, why should we limit all talk of LGBTQ+ people to health class? We don’t limit other things to that, and talking about our achievements in history seems more appropriate for a history class! Do you want us presented as a dangerous anomaly and have our sexuality be considered a disease? Because that’s what it feels like you are saying.

Yes, because saying “A few boys feel like girls, and a few girls feel like boys, and some feel like neither or both; if you meet anyone like that, be nice to them” is somehow ‘distorting the curriculum’ and terribly difficult for children to understand, apparently.

Lady, that is the kindness you perfunctorily mentioned just before that.

Yeah, because kids totally wouldn’t be gay, lesbian, bi, pan etc. if it just weren’t mentioned in school.
Honey, kids will soon enough understand whether they like girls, boys, both or neither. They don’t need anyone to tell them that. What they *do* need is support in being themselves, because there are people who think that having sexual or romantic feelings for someone other than the opposite of your birth sex is somehow terrible and should be punished.

The curriculum programs don’t make children doubt their own identity, unless that identity was paper-thin to begin with, based upon nothing but ‘comphet’ and cisnormativity — meaning, ‘compulsory heterosexuality’ (the assumption that everyone is heterosexual, and the associated enforcement of heterosexual norms) and the similar assumption and enforcement of cisgender status and norms.

Be honest, what you really want is for kids to not be exposed to so much as the mere possibility that anything other than cisgender heterosexuality (CisHet) even exists, and you hope that will force them into being cishet — at least in outward practice, if not from within themselves. You don’t care that those children might be confused and endlessly frustrated due to not feeling what they ‘should’ feel and not finding themselves in the social norms they ‘should’ feel satisfied with. The only thing that matters to you is that the iron law of patriarchy is enforced, and that the old hierarchies be kept at all costs. In other words: “Know your place and obey your elders. Procreate and fit into the 1950s family ideal, for everything else is worthless at best.”

Good.

Hey, I’d be all for more representation for the achievements of asexual (ace) and aromantic people! But, somehow, I doubt that this is what you had in mind.

“That’s indoctrination since teachers are not asked to do the same for the celibate, for example.”
So, make a case. collect actual data about the bigotry and discrimination faced by the celibate.
How hard it is to get a birthday cake made for a virgin, for example. How many parents get upset if there’s a non-slut on the sportsball team. Hiring practices that force you to say if you’ve ever had or intend to have extramarital sex.
Or confusion in the media: how the celibate are portrayed in cop shows: how many murder mysteries focus on the fuck-free; confusion and deliberate misinformation offered about the consequences of saying ‘no’ to an offer for sex.

Make an actual case to show you’ve victimized, not just whining about not getting equal attention.

The celibate have not been historically murdered for their celibacy.

But forcing pledge, wishing for all studsnts to pray those aren't.

Plus LGBT have been targeted for killing, discrimination, accused of paedophilia (yet those fuckwits doing that have yet to condemn Josh Duggar). Fucking hypocrites

Fine, but what the hell does that have to do with this:

Gender dysphoria and sexual orientation are two different things!

Anti-public school propaganda, distorting facts like confusing gender identity and sexual orientation to make their point...

“Anyone afflicted should be treated with kindness and offered medical help”.

So when are you going to show these people any kindness whatsoever? Is it indoctrination if teachers mention some other minority group and their achievements, in their classes? Not the supposedly celibate, since a lot of educated people in the old days were monks, priests and nuns.

Anyone afflicted should be treated with kindness and offered medical help.

Getting tortured until you pretend not to be queer anymore isn't "medical help".

"Treat people with some basic fucking respect" isn't distorting their curriculum. They're supposed to be taught about stuff like that.

I've said this before, but my school had like a brief one-line mention of homosexuality in a biology book and that's it, and I still became a pansexual and I've only found stuff that vibes with my gender on Tumblr. Those kids would probably still turn out queer. Some kids are just queer, deal with it!
