Is Ireland becoming a Woke Society? Are people too scared to say anything as it may offend…..
Are we too tolerant and easily lead?
I'm willing for the sake of being nice and good mannered to address someone with whatever pronouns they wish and to accept them as whatever they want to be, without actually believing it myself that they are actually non-binary .Same way I'm willing to respect someones religious beliefs and not point out to them if they talk about god "you know he doesn't exist".
Gender has become such a wishy washy thing with apparently hundreds of genders that essentially it has become meaningless. Biological sex is a real thing , gender has become meaningless because it's just based on whatever you feel yourself and has no objective basis in reality.I could declare my gender tomorrow to be female while at the same time not changing a single thing about my life and continuing acting 100% like a man and there is nothing anyone could do to say my gender was not female now.
This is class. You are arguing that I want people to be obedient and compliant, when what I want is change. Absolute class.
I wand radical reform though, you are right about that.
or he and she?
Why shouldn't an 8 year old know about the mechanics of sex? It will do far more good than harm if they do IMO.
I am not here to convince you non binary people exist, I don't need to. They exist.
If you are willing to be compassionate and respectful to them that's all I want.
Thought exercise. You've declared yourself female. Everyone has accepted you are despite having a bear and male genitalia. What's the negative now?
You don't mean deprogrammed, you mean reprogrammed with your ideology.
Why does an 8 year old need to know?
No , telling kids about trans people is ideological instruction , it’s the politicisation of children , not telling them is letting them just be kids
Compliance and obedience within a progressive framework, the current ideological narrative amongst those who have huge influence in various government departments involves freezing out traditional understanding of sex and relationships
you are on side with the power in Ireland right now
Mine isn’t an ideology , it’s what was the norm for thousands of years until about four years ago
So they soak up the religious instruction good and early , the woke are copying the church of yesteryear
get em young
I’ve explained that multiple times now, not about need but its preferable.
You have yet to explain what harm it will do.
The norm where? There were thousands of different norms all over the world at any given time.
This orthodoxy you crave for was never the norm, thankfully.
Right. This is unhinged.
The norm in my country, that some Saudi prince had twenty wives isn’t relevant to me
The current education minister is a glove puppet for a department of education completely captured by woke ideologues
You think it was the norm in Ireland for thousands of years? I have some shocking new for you - it wasn’t even the norm for 1 thousand years.
Prove it.
It’s been the norm for long enough and there is no evidence that most people ( or parents ) want to reinvent the wheel
activists are battling hard to repeal the democratic wishes of the population in various areas but they ar naive if they think there will be no pushback
Boys have a penis & girls have a vagina isn't an 'ideology.'
P1ss off , you’re Stand up act is as fresh as three week old ham
This is utter nonsense. Every main stream political party supports the recognition of transgender people. The parties people voted into the Dáil. Like the minister you’re attacking.
The Dáil are not randomly chosen, you can’t form a government without the majority of people in the country voting for you.
70% of people voted for marriage equality not that long ago. Push back all you want, but be aware that you aren’t in the majority. Luckily
It's introducing adult sexual behaviour to prepubescent children long before the emergence of libido. They are too young to have sexual desires and there is no reason for them to be given detailed information about sex, pregnancy and contraception.
How many 4-8 years are likely to have sex and an unplanned pregnancy? How many are likely to find the idea of their vagina being penetrated and ejaculated into/penetrating a vagina and ejaculating appealing?
Do they think they should learn about oral and anal sex too? What about kink? STIs?
Sure just sit them down to watch Porn Hub and be done with it.
It is when you deny that trans people exist.
If you can’t prove something, why say it?
I have friends that ended up transitioning in later life. According to your logic if a teacher transitioned, you will be required to 'deprogram' them rather than a simple explanation. Honestly, you're setting them up to struggle to adapt to such scenarios in later life or even in their present day life. Yes, you are very much so an ideologue btw, you frequently bring up transgender people in various topics as an outrage point.
I’m confident I’m in the majority when it comes to how parents feel about teaching ideology in schools, you might as well want kids taught that being a socialist is better than being a capitalist
no politicisation of education
I’m not playing his stale old game
You’ve stepped over the line from reasonable discussion into unreasonable here I’m sorry to say. Argument to the absurd.
Of course we shouldn’t let them see pornographic material. In fact, most pornography is misogynistic rubbish that most people shouldn’t watch.
Let’s go back to the book in question: what’s the harm in the information shown? They know a penis enters a vagina and ejaculates. Medical information. How is that harmful?
What stale game? Supporting points with evidence?
