    Gender Identification

    The liberal attack on the traditional family is broad, but this report on "Gender Identity" that a friend emailed to me is astonishing.

    Children and youth are already confused enough without the absurd pseudo-psychology that those within the homosexual agenda promote. This report entitled, produced by the Gay Straight Alliance, the Transgender Law Center, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights, is a perfect example.

    The report opens: "Is your school safe for guys who aren’t as masculine as other guys? Is your school safe for girls who aren’t as feminine as other girls? Is your school safe for youth who identify as transgender?"

    The deception in this introduction is the word "safe." Physical safety should be guaranteed to everyone, however, the report's definition is absurd. Consider this paragraph further down the page:
    Instead of creating safe spaces for gender non-conforming and transgender students, school administrations often enforce policies and practices that can punish gender non-conforming and transgender youth simply for being who they are.

    Examples of discrimination based on gender identity, appearance, and behavior include: refusing to allow students to wear clothing that fits their gender identity, denying students access to educational or extra-curricular opportunities due to their actual or perceived gender identity and/or expression, and a school’s failure to protect students from harassment based on their actual or perceived gender identity and/or expression.
    Under the "Myth" section, number seven states:
    Myth: Transgender women are not “real” women and transgender men and not “real” men.
    Fact: People’s “true” gender is not defined by the sex they were assigned at birth. Our true gender is based on our gender identity. When a person who is transgender expresses an identity different from the one they were assigned at birth, the gender they are expressing is their “real” gender.
    This report just evidences how absurd and irrational the homosexual left is.
