21st century madness



At Hot Air Jazz Shaw brings us the news that
In England, the city of Brighton and Hove is making history in terms of political correctness. Parents of children preparing to enter the school system received a letter informing them that they needed to be cautious when filling out their child’s registration forms and not rush into anything complicated like identifying whether they were boys or girls. You see, that’s a really complicated question these days and you need to help your children “pick” which gender they want to be. And no… I’m not even kidding. (Mashable)

A city council has sent a letter to thousands of parents asking them to support the gender their children “most identify with” when confirming school places.

The letter, sent this week, requested that parents help their children “choose” their gender identity, asking them to leave the gender section of the form blank if their child is non-binary.

“We recognise that not all children and young people identify with the gender they were assigned at birth or may identify as a gender other than male or female, however the current systems (set nationally) only record gender as male or female,” read the letter.

“Please support your child to choose the gender they most identify with.”

Shaw writes,
Look… these are kindergarten aged children. If they’re at the point where they’re fretting over whether or not they are Trigender before they find out where the sandbox is at school there is a much bigger problem to be tackled and it involves calling Child Protective Services and getting them out of whatever warped, psychotic madhouse they are trapped in at home.
