I've tried to form them into more concrete thoughts and the more I attempt to pin them down, the more they act like jello.
What happens when you disagree with a prominent cultural narrative that's tangled into every fabric of our social and cultural lives? To speak against it is like heresy. That's how it feels to discuss gender Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35631145.post-63748162109189880882018-11-17T20:54:00.000-08:002018-11-17T20:56:44.400-08:00Wordpress censorshipI don't link to many blogs, on this blog. I have a select few that I link specifically for the purpose of this blog. It's come to my attention that GenderTrender has been removed by WordPress for violating bogus ToS rules that they made up after removal, with no warning or announcements to users of WordPress.

Clean beaches are beautiful
Gender identity isn't real.
I don't believe this is a bold statement. It's only perceived that way because the current tide of personalized identities is in, washing to shore all kinds of garbage. Maybe humans shouldn't have polluted the ocean so much that garbage washes ashore.

This concept came from understanding unschooling. It's not really about unschooling, though, it's about an idea that helps unschooling work well.

A little girl wanting to be a boy is validated and empowered by getting their very own penis. That's right, you can buy your little girl, their very own penis. It's to help them feel more comfortable because everyone knows a penis makes the world more comfortable.

Happy families and peaceful kids can seem like the mundane world of the Leave it to Beaver era of sitcom TV. Totally unrealistic and inaccurate and idealistic of some other worldly idea that maybe never existed. If you look in a different direction, happy and peaceful family life can and does exist.

Feelings are real, no matter where they come from or why we have them. Feelings inform our thoughts and actions. Sometimes we are unaware of doing this and sometimes feelings are visceral and give way to action.

When young people grow, part of that process is figuring out who they are. Who they are, their core being, never really changes, even when they grow to be more mature and understand the world Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35631145.post-40615008739658213622018-05-25T13:32:00.000-07:002018-05-25T13:35:24.863-07:00It could be just me, but I see gender identity everywhere. I caught a hint of this trend a few years back but I didn't think it would grow so big and popular. Plus, the person espousing it wasn't especially smart or nice, so it was easy to dismiss at the time. Then, a lot of people who I consider both smart and nice, started picking it up as a legitimate lifestyle choice. Really, that's what it Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35631145.post-58083922383539653742018-05-18T13:42:00.001-07:002018-05-18T13:42:56.862-07:00To speak or not to speakThis always gets me in trouble. I have opinions and instead of keeping them all inside, I share them. I'm pretty good at staying silent when my opinion adds nothing positive to the issue at hand, whatever that issue may be. What I can't hush about is gender identity, especially that related to transgenderism and young people.
