  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

If you'd like to check, many of those are different terms for the same thing and many are terms used in different cultures for aspects of gender. Others are slang terms. The rest are terms we'd all be familar with.

Notwithstanding that, what exactly is the point you are trying to make? That there are more than two genders? Well done. You've succeeded in confirming that which you have tried to deny...

And you treat these seriously? Like the very first?

A gender system for genders which are connected to or influenced in any way by Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty.

You are beginning to look foolish.

Do you have any source that is more authoritative than a wiki? I have hard time believing that kids are being taught things in school that primarily exist via wikis, considering that Wikipedia itself (by far the most moderated and hence restrictive of the sites of this type, in terms of what can be placed on them uncontested) is generally not accepted as a reliable source from which students may source the information in their own papers.

Of course I don't take them seriously. But LGBTQQIP2SAA+ does and it's what's being pushed on kids.

A supportive website says, ”Hey, ‘gender’ is always so ‘serious’ but let’s have some ‘fun’ with gender…” and now we’re being told that this “list” is part of the “indoctrination” of our public school children!?

pfft

Of course it is. They are all taught that Hoxxes gender refers to a system of xenogenders connected to the world of Deep Rock Galactic, and specifically the creatures and biomes endemic to the planet of Hoxxes IV. Everyone knows that.

You are being made fun of and you just don't realise it. Please stop. It's embarrassing.

The same point I'm always making. The new definition of gender is circular repetitive word salad gobbledygook.

And you do this by posting definitions like this...

Puzzle gender: a system of xenogenders that can be described by, or are connected to, various mass-produced puzzles.

...and then tell us that these definitions are being 'pushed onto kids!' You cannot, from this point onwards, be taken seriously.

One thing leads to another. As surprising as it might sound, kids are extremely curious. Not to mention extremely impressionable.

Oh so what's being published by LGBTQ+ sources is just a hoax. They don't really mean any of it. It's all just a ha ha gotcha.
Yes. The list you posted is a gotcha. It's a bit of fun. It's not meant to be taken seriously. That is painfully obvious. But you are so anti anything connected with lgbt that it's totally lost on you. Even 'gender influenced by Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty' you treat as being kosher. And claim that kids are being taught that very thing.

The word you used earlier - impressionable? That's wrong. It should have been gullible.

I really don't know what to say. You have lost all credibility.

From a wiki…yeah, that’s how they work, and try to hash out a consensus about what this fictional world might be like, and how many genders there are there, in fanfictionland.

In the 1980s it was “Dungeons and Dragons“, that got us here. It’s still, “not so bad”. Seriously.

What about SexualDiversity.org?

What about this TED talk?


I agree the new LGBTQQIP2SAA+ version of gender is fiction. That's what keeps being said to those who are acting as activists for it. First they advocate it, then when it's all laid out before them, they start calling it absurd fiction.

I know, it's just paranoia and phobia
Well, no, it’s that the Baby-Boomers* have never understood that the time in which they had their upbringing and lives were in a rare 80 years of relative “peace” in the world. They thought all of this was “normal” and their birthright, They are now squabbling with the younger generation about how it’s “not like it used to be, back in our day” just like our parents said to us as we came of age. This is “normal”, it’s gonna be okay, just “different”. All us Boomers* are going to be gone in 20 years.

Funny how it's mostly the older generation I'm going over this with. Funny how the subject in the OP is 12. Along with many of his classmates who are in agreement. We can go with the conspiracy theory his parents put him up to it, but it seems unlikely the parents of a 12 year old are boomers.

It’s a “generational-thing” for generations, this is now the world limps along, trying not to unalive too many of our fellow human beings, while raising ingrate children!
This is “normal”.
Enjoy what you can from it!
