Gender Identity

The Australian Prime Minister claims to be a Christian and does attend a Pentecostal church but he is very hesitant to back any Christian or Christian organization (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/03/christian-lobby-groups-attack-morrison-for-vowing-students-wont-be-expelled-due-to-their-sexuality-or-gender) when that person or organization comes head to head with WOKE society. NOTE, whenever, a “Christian” organization accepts Government funds they have signed away their Christian beliefs. Therefore, the following is not a surprise to me.
‘A Brisbane Christian school says it will withdraw its demand that families sign anti-gay and anti-trans enrolment contracts prior to the new school year.
The decision comes before a meeting with the Queensland schools accreditation board.
While Citipointe Christian College says it “deeply regrets” that the contracts made students feel discriminated against, the principal says the school has the right to maintain its ethos and the “freedom to continue to provide an education based on our shared beliefs”.
Those beliefs – and the statement parents were asked to sign – are taken from the school’s governing body, the International Network of Churches, and its formal “statement of faith”. It includes statements that homosexual acts were “immoral” and “offensive to God” and that transgender people would not be recognised.
The withdrawal of the contract comes after the prime minister, Scott Morrison, said he “did not agree with” the school’s use of the document.
Teachers have told Guardian Australia that the school principal, Brian Mulheran, this week had repeatedly doubled down on his decision to implement the contract. He released a video statement to parents on Tuesday defending the contracts and then gave families a two-week extension to sign.
The decision was made before a scheduled meeting of the state government’s statutory accreditation board, which assesses eligibility for government funding and monitors compliance with the Education Act.
The board has received a discrimination complaint about the contract.
It is also understood that dozens of students and families had already chosen to withdraw and have enrolled at the local state school.
Lawyers and others had said the contract was a clear breach of the Queensland anti-discrimination act. The state human rights commissioner, Scott McDougall, said organisations could not “contract out” their responsibilities under the act.
In a letter to families Mulheran said the school would work with the community to update the enrolment contract, but that no families would now be asked to sign the existing one.
A statement posted on the college website said the school would “continue to ensure that families are provided with information that is necessary to make informed choices about … our approach to teaching”.
“We deeply regret that some students feel that they would be discriminated against because of their sexuality or gender identity, and I apologise to them and their families on behalf of the college,” Mulheran said.
“As stated previously, the college does not and will not discriminate against any student because of their sexuality or gender identity. It is central to our faith that being gay or transgender in no way diminishes a person’s humanity or dignity in God’s eyes.
“It is also deeply distressing that some of our students have been vilified in the community simply for their religious beliefs or because they attend the college.”
Mulheran said society “gives freedom to people to be a part of groups with shared beliefs”.
“Citipointe has the freedom to maintain its Christian ethos and this is an essential part of Christian education and choice for parents. As a college established for religious purposes, we will continue to provide an education based on our shared beliefs.”
The Queensland education minister, Grace Grace, said she welcomed the decision and had called for it on a number of occasions.
“In the interests of the mental health of students, staff, carers and parents I hope they abandon it completely and nothing like it ever surfaces again,” Grace said.’https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/feb/03/brisbanes-citipointe-christian-college-withdraws-anti-gay-contract-but-defends-statement-of-faith
An explanation of how Apple’s “Pregnant” man emoji came about is somewhat explained at https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/01/29/how-we-ended-up-with-the-pregnant-man-emoji.
HOWEVER, There are only two genders and only one of those can get pregnant!
I’m originally from southern Iowa and so glad ‘Republican Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds took a public stand in favor of the rights of parents during an interview with a local news reporter on Monday. She specifically defended the right of parents to decide on the appropriate subject matter in their children’s schools.
The interview centered on disputes around the nation regarding some of the books local school districts are placing in their school libraries. Some school library books contain explicit erotic material and have been challenged as inappropriate for school-age children. In Iowa, in particular, six local districts around Des Moines face these controversies.
During the interview, Gov. Reynolds read aloud from one of the books involved, “All Boys Aren’t Blue.” That book includes essays described as a “memoir-manifesto” about growing up gay and black.
She read a passage from the book for the reporter that described a graphic carnal act between two boy cousins. The passage used explicit language to describe boys in the nude having oral intercourse with each other. When she finished reading the passage, Reynolds said she didn’t know if Iowa parents feel that material is appropriate for children in K-12 education. Still, she feels that it is a decision that they should be able to make.
The reporter asked Reynolds if she agrees with Iowa’s Republican state Senate President Jake Chapman. The latter said teachers’ unions have a “sinister agenda” to normalize deviant behavior among school children. Reynolds said she “absolutely agrees” those inappropriate things are displayed in Iowa classrooms and libraries without explicitly commenting on Chapman’s statements.
Some schools around the country have been removing “All Boys Aren’t Blue” from libraries, although the author defends his book as having an “important message” for young boys and girls “struggling with their gender.” He said that removing a “resource” doesn’t mean “Black queer youth” will not experience what he describes.
The governor also described other books being challenged in Iowa, including “Lawn Boy” and “Gender Queer,” including graphic descriptions of sensual acts.https://conservativeamericatoday.com/republican-iowa-governor-defends-parental-educational-rights/
Here in Australia we have some ‘Brilliant news: Senator Claire Chandler has announced she will be introducing a private members bill to get sex reintroduced into the Sex Discrimination Act. Staggeringly, the definitions of male and female were removed in 2013 leaving the Sex Discrimination Act impotent in promoting or protecting biological sex.
Disappointingly, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and the Minister for Women, Marise Payne, have refused to engage on this issue; they have ignored the pleas of thousands of Australians to reinstate legislation to protect girls and women from discrimination and disadvantage in sport, refuges, changerooms, prisons and a myriad of other female services and spaces.
Senator Claire Chandler is about to change all of that. The PM, the Minister for Women, and every other federal politician’s position on this issue will be exposed.
In an email sent out to supporters, Chandler announced her intention to legalise women’s rights.
For the past 18 months, you and I have been calling on Sport Australia to withdraw their misguided “inclusion” guidelines and acknowledge the importance of single-sex women’s sport.
Australians have had enough of ideologically driven bureaucrats claiming that women’s sport should be based on gender identity and not biological reality.
Our common sense position is backed by international sporting bodies, leading scientists from around the world, female athletes, parents, and coaches – and thousands of Australians like you who have signed my petition.
With your support, I’ve put a mountain of evidence in front of Sport Australia and the parliament, demonstrating unequivocally that it is neither fair nor safe for biological males to be allowed to compete against women.
Our concerns and the evidence have been ignored.
Sport Australia has made it clear they intend to ignore the latest research and that they will not, under any circumstances, change their guidelines unless the law changes.
So today, I am letting you know that I am drafting a bill to protect single-sex sport for women and girls in Australia.
I have started a process to amend the Sex Discrimination Act 1984, to ensure that women’s single-sex sport will once again be celebrated and encouraged in Australia.
The Sex Discrimination Act was always intended to provide for single-sex sport. But after changes made in 2013 by the former Labor Government, it’s now being used as a weapon to convince sporting organisations that they must base participation in sport on gender identity rather than sex – or risk being in breach of the law.
The senator is committed to ensuring that all sporting clubs have the legal right to rule that female sporting categories are for women and girls only. She will eliminate loopholes and work on ways to ensure transgender athletes can compete in a fair and safe way that does not put females at risk.
The media will not doubt either ignore or misrepresent the intentions of this bill. You can be sure that Coalition MPs and the opposition will be running scared, as they will either have to come out in support of the protection of women and girls, or risk being exposed as political ideologues if they oppose it.
Well done Senator Chandler, you have our whole-hearted support and commitment to work with you until the job is done.’https://www.binary.org.au/game_on?utm_campaign=2021_11_15_weekly_enews&utm_medium=email&utm_source=binary
Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. This stuff that Biden and others are pushing would be laughable if they weren’t in positions of such influence. Now, ‘The Biden-Harris administration has released a 42-page document, titled “National Strategy on Gender Equity and Equality.”
Identity politics feature heavily in the new policy that conflates biology and ideology.
The guidelines lump women, “gender nonconforming” and transgender people all in the same category. Nothing in this so-called document distinguishes women from males who appropriate womanhood. So basically, it is a policy for anyone.
This strategy reflects a commitment to address gender broadly. Our work is deeply motivated by a commitment to women and girls, in light of longstanding systemic discrimination and barriers which continue to affect their full participation and access to opportunity. We also combat discrimination and harmful gender norms that affect people of all genders: women and girls—including transgender women and girls—gender nonbinary and gender nonconforming people, as well as men and boys.
There’s no definition of the terms “women” or “girls” or “female”. There is a strong emphasis, however, on males who pretend to be women by donning a costume, popping pills or undergoing surgical mutilation of healthy body tissue.
On the surface it may seem like an attempt to achieve equity or equality. Unfortunately, statements such as “The transgender athlete who dreams of the chance to compete, free from discrimination”, proves that there is no regard for the safety, fairness or privacy of women in sport.
Binary spokeswoman, Kirralie Smith, said it was purely a virtue signalling exercise.
“Equity and equality will never be achieved if you cannot even define the term woman. These concepts are meaningless if anyone can be a woman,” she said.
“Sex-based rights and responsibilities are essential for a fair and functioning society to operate.
“This document denies science, rejects biological reality and furthers the oppression of women. It will do nothing to advance equity or equality, but will only succeed in elevating an extremist political ideology.”’https://www.binary.org.au/anyone_can_be_a_woman_according_to_biden_s_national_strategy_on_gender?utm_campaign=2021_10_25_weekly_enews&utm_medium=email&utm_source=binary
The truth will get you cancelled on Twitter so it seems. When truth is cancelled lies become the norm.
‘The official Twitter account of Congressman Jim Banks (R-Ind.) was suspended for tweeting, “The title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man” in reference to Rachel Levine, Biden’s assistant secretary for Health & Human Services (HHS), being sworn in as a four-star admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps earlier this week.’https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2021/10/23/twitter-suspends-gop-congressman-for-saying-rachel-levine-is-a-man-n1526403?utm_source=pjmedia&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&bcid=5a05e186fc85b30f55c28204f849862c04192d97b134e516f76782809875c086&recip=26169367

‘Over the weekend the Herald Sun ran with a story headline, “Three year olds identifying as gender diverse”.
Most three-year-olds couldn’t even pronounce the words “gender diverse” let alone understand what they mean.
Most three-year-olds would also identify as unicorns, fairies, puppy dogs or firemen.
That doesn’t mean we indulge such fantasies by labelling them reality.
We encourage children to play, explore and experiment. It is how they learn.
They also learn by understanding when playtime is over and teaching them how to deal with real life circumstances. To enable them to grow up to be healthy adults we have to teach them resilience, perseverance, delayed gratification, resourcefulness, and responsibility.
Interfering with a child’s natural development and curiosity will not bode well for society. Prescribing medications to make them drug dependant for life – having to rely on daily meds to keep up the appearance of appropriating the opposite sex – is cruel and dangerous.
There is little-to-no long term data to show just how damaging it could be. In fact, all evidence so far indicates up to 80 per cent of gender confused children will outgrow their confusion by the time they have gone through puberty if they are not interfered with.
Yet gender clinics, cheered on by extremists, seem all too happy to run down this pathway of medical transitioning.
What will be the cost to this innocent generation of children?
How many more tragic stories of de-transitioners will we have to hear before our politicians and doctors say enough is enough?’
When so-called ‘Christian’ schools promote transgenderism there is not much hope with the public system.
‘When a six-year-old boy in their son’s class started to come to school sometimes dressed as a girl, Nigel and Sally Rowe, who live on the Isle of Wight, raised concerns with the Church of England school. They say that their son, also six years old, came home from school upset and saying that he was “confused” by the situation.
Nigel and Sally met with the headteacher and class teacher, and followed up with a letter setting out some of the questions that they had. But the school’s formal response was “cold”, they say, and didn’t address their concerns.
In the letter, the school suggested that an “inability to believe a transgender person is actually a ‘real’ female or male” and the refusal to “acknowledge a transgendered person’s true gender e.g. by failing to use their adopted name or using gender inappropriate pronouns,” was “transphobic behaviour”.
Nigel and Sally now home educate both their children and are challenging the school’s policies.’https://christianconcern.com/cccases/nigel-and-sally-rowe/
Psalm 2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? This is a description of today’s society seeking to nullify the Creator!
Of all places, Portland, I would not have thought this crazy idea would be controversial! These people who go along with this gender neutral bathroom are spiritually lost and mentally deficient.
