Regurgitation Is Heard
Or, “How You Identity.”
A professional educator, Mrs Donna Starkey of Rye College, East Sussex, attempts to impart her new and shiny knowledge. Two schoolgirls prove troublesome:
“Where’d you get this idea that there are only two genders? […] It’s not an opinion you can have… You’re talking about the fact that cisgender is the norm, that you identify with the gender… with the sexual organs that you’re born with, or you’re with. That’s basically what you’re saying…”
“Yeah.”
“Which is really despicable… I’m reporting you to Miss Willis. You need to have a proper educational… conversation… about edu… about equality, diversity, and inclusion. Because I’m not having that expressed in my lesson.”
“Everyone else thinks it. They just don’t say it.”
Threats of further ideological correction ensue. Apparently, the recorded exchange was prompted by a pupil claiming to identify as a cat, and the two girls, heard above, expressing some doubt.
Update:
Also, open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
There’s not much new there except that the leftism has now infected gender identity. The leftist dogma, in whole or in individual parts, is a substitute for religion. I’m not terribly religious myself (though I have recently developed a certain quirk of saying “God bless you” to people or quoting the Bible just to see people squirm…but I digress) though I have done a significant amount of religious study for a layman. The parallels in general seem very obvious. Not to say that that is my singular observation, just a rather common observation. As people show less and less faith in a God they clearly acquire very similar attitudes toward their government or whatever specific level/manifestation of #science, always the kind with a leftist bent, that they may have stumbled upon. Notice how this gender thing has been picking up steam as they try to distance/distract from the now openly observed failures of the Covid thing. Both are very wannabe/play-God infused. Coincidence?
Already coming to my school.
Leftism as religion: note that in all communist societies and in Nazi Germany, the gov worked to suppress religion. In the current wokeness, not only is there vandalism of churches and catholics called domestic terrorists, but the trappings of religion are so so obvious. There is a liturgy, the saved and the sinners, apostates, rituals, religious symbols (pride flags), and obscure doctrine that only the few can understand. One big difference is that in the woke religion if you are one of the sinners (white male) there is no path to salvation and no one to grant forgiveness–thus the endless public pronouncements of piety.
Curiously, though, there are Christians who embrace the “woke” religion.
Competing religions.
Well, they claim to be Christian.
So did John Shelby Spong, though he rejected most everything about it.
“Children should read Gender Queer at school, a book about dildos and strap-ons and boys giving each other blowjobs, because…black people and the Holocaust“
Remember the Sandinista nuns, back in the 80’s? There are, I think, I a lot of very “confused” Christians.
TIK says it IS a religion:

“Marxists share your vocabulary but they don’t share your dictionary.”
The only difference between this teacher and the Catholic nuns who ran my primary school is that my nuns were MUCH more lenient about the orthodoxy of their religion.
She claims that trans women are at the same risk of rape as normal women
I’m guessing she’s deliberately conflating that risk with the risk of severe physical assault. Many male transvestites get involved in prostitution and they’re not always honest about what’s being offered for sale. When you hear people moaning about transvestites being in danger of physical assault just for being transvestites, ask what proportion of those victims were beaten up by their johns who didn’t appreciate the surprise.

No, it’s entirely accurate; masculine, feminine and neuter. Though that’s not what she meant.
