How Trans Ideology Is Taught In Schools
Eager to get back to reporting on the impact of trans ideology on the general public, especially on children I persuaded my carpool mate to make the two-hour drive to the university town of Davis for a program by Mom’s for Liberty at the public library. The group attracted national attention last August, for a presentation called “Fair and Safe Sports for Girls” when a librarian shut down the program for “misgendering” after trans-identified boys were referred to as boys and then as males during the presentation. Mom’s for Liberty sued Yolo County and won a settlement of $70,000 and a policy change that would protect their freedom of speech and the right to space at the library for their presentations. This second presentation, at the same library, was called “Trans Identity 101” and would cover how trans ideology was spread in the education system.
I was eager to bring this topic to my network with real-world examples. I had already covered girls’ sports being impacted by male participants through our work protesting at high school games in San Francisco where trans athletes were participating on girls’ teams. The topic of education was not easy to cover without inside information provided by parents suspicious enough to ferret out these teachings. That it was Davis and not Portland, I was gleaning such information from, made it a California issue, an issue of my home state. One I should, by rights, follow and report on as a local issue of interest to my community.
Last Sunday a woman in my writing class asked me if it was true that men can now get pregnant. At a presentation at Davis library, yesterday, I learned that a large percentage of children in the Davis school system believe that men can get pregnant. Since they are being taught that women can identify as men and grow up to look like men, men can therefore get pregnant. See photo. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. The use of preferred pronouns by journalists drives this illusion home.
Preferred pronouns were adopted to be kind and be on the right side of civil rights history. As one presenter said “we like to think of ourselves as kind, but do we like to think of ourselves as duped?”
An elder friend of mine told me, over lunch last week, that children know who they are. Since when did children know they were the opposite sex? I wanted to know. I did not ask her this question because I knew she meant in identity only and not because she actually believes that humans can change sex or are the opposite sex. The problem is now we aren’t allowing children to be educated with a baseline of reality as my friend understood it. Reality for my friend stopped at self-identity. Her first lesbian lover was a man. I don’t want my own community telling me that a lesbian can have a penis, but maybe that’s just me.
Through the use of surveys children are being asked leading questions in grade school. “Are you male, female, non-binary or something else?”“Are you transgender?” That something else can be an animal and children are indeed choosing to identify as such and being affirmed for it in these parts. It is more likely that children will grow out of their animal identity, but why are adults so set on affirming these non-real identities I want to know. Do children go on to “know” what is reality when they are being taught otherwise? If so why even bother to educate them since they already “know” everything? This is the follow through logic that no one seems to follow through because my community told them it was wrong to question a person’s gender identity. Thousands of children’s books now available telling kids about other kids who are not the sex they were “assigned at birth”, most written by my community.
Breast binders for girls to flatten their emerging breasts so they can pretend to be boys are easily available now from activist sources. To have the entire school treat them as the boy they think they are is all part of the socialization protocol for affirming gender identity. Refusing to inform parents of such a change in their child’s identity is how the school triangulates children away from their parents for the purpose of such socialization or unhinging from reality as I like to cal it. These children are highly likely to have other mental health issues their parents are already treating. Autistic children are a high percentage of those who think they are the opposite sex. This correlation is now understood to be a sign that a child is trans, I learned. So autistic children are more likely to be encouraged to explore their “gender identity” by such activist teachers.
In fifth grade children are taught the concept that the mind is separate from the body in terms of gender identity. Graphic of Genderbread Person is shown. My rejection of Western philosophy began with such Cartesian logic, but is it a good idea to teach children that they are not their body? That they can hate their body so much that they should be given the option to change it before they have even gone through puberty? How far is this going to go? These are the fascinating questions that keep me so entertained waiting to see how it will all turn out.
I was glad to see more men tackling the issue. One, a gay man, came over from Pride celebrations to say that we were the true allies of, not only gay people, but trans as well because their identity exists on the binary. The other was a long time resident of Davis and a coach pointing out that from a distance people cannot see the boy running on the girl's track team so again the public is duped into going along with this.
My contacts on FB responded to this new information with interest and more were inclined to comment in agreement that things had gone too far.
“OMG, Amanda. It just gets worse and worse,” said one elder female colleague.
“Yes.” I agreed. “Davis is the epicenter, but the movement intends to "queer" all of society by eroding boundaries between sex categories because this is believed to be the path to liberation. The actual impact is to destabilize what we understand to be reality. Doing this through children destabilizes the family by separating children into a new reality from their parents. It is much more dangerous than people are being allowed to know.”
“We’re doomed,” said a gay friend and another long time gay friend praised me for a well written essay, noting also that he could understand why I felt so betrayed given how I had been invested and active and public in our community in many facets and phases of my life while he had never really felt at home in it, given his sensibilities, beyond our own circle of friends. This praise and validation from one who had argued with me about trans for many years marked a reconciliation. I felt I had hit on a topic that was worth more exposure and was gratified that my friends were trusting me to stay on it and report the truth.
Three of our team, including two lesbians, had also driven to Sacramento on May 29th to testify against AB1955 which would mandate that schools keep their child’s gender transition a secret. Along with the above information California schools are becoming regular trans factories. Surely this would not go unnoticed.
May had felt like the eye before the storm. The storm being Pride, a month I used to look forward to as one of the pleasures of summer. This presentation heralded our core issue on the first day of Pride. A contingent did go to Tulsa, Oklahoma for Kelly Jay Keen’s visit and some righteous speeches were made without the distraction of trans rights activists trying to drown out those who spoke. The Women Are Real team along with the mom’s groups concentrated on getting signatures for our Protect Kids initiative. Though we fell short of the required 500,000, we did gather over 400,000 which was impressive for a grassroots movement with no paid signature collectors. We were encouraged to try again now that we had flexed our collective muscles and had come so close. Onward into June.
