Scaredy, you do know that the ADL is behind this gender fluidity idea? In learning about that I also learned that the notion and creation of “hate crime” was pushed through by same group. Could be wrong but that’s how I read it.
Hate crime is also something that just doesn’t compute for me, like gender fluidity to you.
I kind of get gender fluidity. Personality and life experience and cultural expectations, stuff like that can most obviously strongly affect what people adjust well to, or don’t , at least as much as birth gender. I mean to go as far as what we do, no gender stereo types needed. But I think it actually means something closer to being male for a while and then female for a while, which is pretty funny. I heard one kid say he watched some movie and was gay for two weeks afterwards. Kind of makes sense. Why else would we prohibit boys from wearing pink?
Anyway, I have looked online at the ADL program that kids are getting across this great nation. It’s called No Room for Hate. Is basically marketed as sensitivity training. I think there are federal requirements to be met by the schools, but I am not sure. I have the glossary of terms and a loaded word search puzzle from the a seminar conducted at the La Jolla Jewish Community center for my son’s middle school.
Needless to say, I think the program is way over the top and has elements of programming and even grooming of children as much as taming their tendencies to abuse others for their differences. By grooming , I mean in the sexual context and as well as for winning their hearts and minds for political reasons.
