Spreading Lies about us is Hate Speech

An article ran in the National Review this week laying out dire predictions resulting from the Department of Justice's lawsuit against North Carolina. The National Review is a major conservative news magazine, so predictably the move doesn't receive a ringing endorsement.

Among the "dangerous" consequences author David French warns against is that, "...the very act of teaching biology and human physiology will be hate speech unless it's modified to conform to the new transgender 'facts.' Teachers will have to take great pains to note that chromosomes, reproductive organs, hormonal systems, and any other physical marker of sex is irrelevant to this thing called 'gender,' which, 'factually,' is a mere state of mind."

Even in the basics of fundamental genetics, gender variance is prevalent from the teachings.
I mean it has never just been male/female in the teachings that I went through. Yes there is the basics of XX and XY, in the sex chromosomal layout. There is also Turner syndrome X_ which lacks the second sex chromosome and also a variable Klinefelter syndrome XXX, XXY etc...

What a lot of older models of principles in the basics of genetics, is just outdated not to include this. In my brief study in basic genetics, it is not just the XY chromosome in which decides upon the male physiology, granted most of the time it does give the outward appearance. But from study I have gained knowledge that part of the reason of the general male output is a specific gene "SR Y" which usually is on the Y sex chromosome.
There does seem to be involved of either an irregular occurrence in which displaces this gene, and it wont exist, therefore in a conclusive "XY" female, or even in a replacement on an XX with the "SR Y" gene either attached on the sex chromosome or one of the autosomal chromosomes, which would be given an "XX" male.

So not to include all these different outcomes of genetic structures as well as more recent study in which gives more light in our own biological background, would be to not convey the right message within biology. These truths of more modern biology figuring out the human genome is a mere evolution within the biological system. Which means those who do not understand or know this about biology is just behind the times.

Stay true to yourself no matter the consequence, for this is your life, your decision, your trust in which will shape your future. Believe in yourself, if you don't then no one will.

  I'm making a tour of cousins I did not grow up with before they get too old. My daddy's side. I visited my Tea Party brother along the way and despite telling him about the different types of congenital XY females who are intersexed, he still doesn't get it. I though I was binary! He still believes that all males have an XY in the #23 pair and that they are males. His daughters do know better as one of them is a psychologist.

They can say what they want, but biology classes already tend to include things such as intersexuals, Kleinfelters, and other genetic conditions that blur the lines of our male/female binary. And of course teaching the sun is the center of the solar system used to be the gateway to all sorts of heresy, but we got over it and society didn't come to an end.
Fortunately, it does seem this branch of Conservative ideology is in its death throes and it won't be around much longer, much in how the ways of the Victorian era have died out and are more alive in text books than out in the world.
