I also get the impression that most individuals with intersex conditions really don’t appreciate being dragged into the transgender debate.

Actually many are activists because they face much of the same trouble as trans* folk. This isn’t universal (Not much is), but it is the case for many.
 
In Australia we’ve had anti discrimination laws regarding this since the early 90s. The thing is when a trans* person goes to the bathroom they either “pass” so well you wouldn’t realise or they are the one in most danger of being attacked.

That’s right.

Boy: Mom, this lady said I can be a boy or a girl if I want.

Mom: What lady?

Boy: I don’t know. She gave us some stuff to read. Here.

Mom: We’ll talk about this later.

Mom to school principal: My boy just brought some reading material home about gender and I found it very troubling. Very inappropriate.

Principal: I’m sorry, Mrs. Brown but my hands are tied. This is now school policy.

Mom: Well, my hands aren’t.

So, as a teacher who has taught this subject; that’s simply not how a lesson works 😊
 
My understanding was that they were making sex ed no longer optional though?
 
I’ve done teaching as well. I know how lessons work. Look up “diversity bag” schools lgbt

I agree with you. The trouble with America, generally, is that when PC came along discrimination lost it’s true definition. It now means, “you’re a bad person if you disagree with me”. And I’ll sue you.
Whatever happened to “honest debates about issues”, when people knew what disagreements really were. Difference of opinions, without acting like spoiled brats.

I believe that’s what we’re doing now?
 
My remark was in response to this line of conversation (not editing for content, just to follow my line of thought):

I’ve said multiple times that there are some things parents should most certainly teach their children, and that if they choose to teach sex ed then that’s fine; so long as the students can prove knowledge of the topic via a test as any other student would. As a teacher I always work with the parents of the students in my class.

I do like talking to you, and I respect you even when we disagree, and I have a lot of respect for teachers as a whole as my mom and niece are both teachers, but I can tell you this: if some school asked my child to take a test to prove what they know or don’t know about sex ed I’d be on the six PM news flipping my proverbial (and literal) lid.

And I actually (used to) have little issue with sex ed in schools, because I know a lot of kids don’t get straight answers. But it is indeed a parent’s right to opt out, and it’s not the school’s right to measure this kind of knowledge in a challenge exam.

what would be wrong with a quiz showing the student actually understands the topic?

An optional curricula is optional. Testing my child on what I chose to teach him or her or how I teach it (and I can bet you with my kid you’d get 256% of the age appropriate answer, LOL) takes away the option.

All of which seemed to say we were discussing how I would handle opting out. You said you work with parents but you think a test should be offered; I disagree for the reasons I gave.

Ah, I should have been clearer that where I am sex ed isn’t optional.

But do you know what i’m saying about the way society has turned on attitudes?

Yeah, I think people get uncharitable about things like this because they really care. Both sides honestly feel they are helping people, they care. So they get angry and fired up.

It’s something we need to work on as it shuts important discussions down. But it comes from a place of love, I try to remember that in these talks 😊
 
I like to try to speak it out, sometimes you get wonderful discussions with people even if we disagree.

I’m afraid that statement doesn’t match my own observation.

Your observation doesn’t count for much compared to the lived experiences of LGBT folks. I know that I didn’t become gay because someone put that idea into my head. And although I don’t have the same insight into the lives of transgender people, I do have a number of transgender friends, some of them in their 50s, which means that they grew up long before anyone would have been telling them that it’s OK to be transgender.

I mentioned adoption and surrogate moms.
I, also, mentioned Homosexuality having been around in civilization from the time of the Sumerians. My question is: Why would a monotheistic God, 4000 yrs ago, call us to purity and heterosexual unions w a STRONG ADMONITION TO AVOID HOMOSEXUALITY. It’s not my call. I can’t change, what scriptures say. I understand why. Others would to, if honest.
Why the division? The desire for happiness of the flesh. When do we start looking for happiness of the Spirit. In this they are mutually exclusive… SIGH. God, it’s your teaching. You make it understandable.

H. This is funny! In Catholic H.S., we had gym. We didn’t take showers. HMMM. I don’t think we worked hard in gym. We had gym clothes. BUT, we were perfect in changing,in our open floor plan, in an all girls school. We were modest. We pulled our arms in from our sleeveless A line uniform. It was our tent. Nobody saw nuttin’
Good times

If they’re my colleague I’d likely just tell them they’re being a bit rude, then go about my business. If I were their supervisor, and I have worked in such a role before, I would speak with them about it and then likely seek to keep the two separate.
