gender ideology

Well, I would say, first off, the power dynamics around that issue had changed dramatically by that time.

By 2013, the sex radicals, I think of the people who promote the gender ideology; in my book, The Sexual State, I talk, one of the three ideologies I talk about is the gender ideology.

And the early waves of the gender ideology was feminism, and feminism was trying to say there's really no important difference between men and women.

Women can do anything men can do.

They're interchangeable.

Now, you and I have talked about this, that there are plenty of feminists today who intentionally object to transgenderism, but it's very interesting that the heroine, Gloria Steinem, was not one of them, you know? And I think it's also consistent with her interest in power, because the transgender movement is all about a power grab, in my opinion.

I mean, look, if you can make people say Bruce Jenner is a woman, you can make them say anything.

And so it's not completely shocking that she would end up in that position of supporting the most radical form of gender ideology.

We're starting this week with a big one.

A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about gender ideology being taught in schools and explicit content that our children are being taught in their health and PE classes, often not by school teachers, but by external parties that are being brought in, in both state schools and independent schools.

And...

Honestly, as a parent, I just find a lot of the material that kids are being taught developmentally inappropriate.

with you, Justin.

Thanks for having me.

Let's talk about this meaty topic that you've been getting a bit of flack for because you wrote an article a little while back about this in the News Corp Press, gender ideology and developmental milestones.

Where do you think is the best place to start? I have a thousand questions and I'd rather just let you start and then we'll pick it off from there.

My children have both attended and graduated from Wake County schools.

Once again, I'm here regarding the situation regarding Middle Creek Elementary School involving gender ideology and compelled speech.

The facts are simple.

Children are coming home asking their parents questions.

People talk about, the left always talk about Ireland's culture as being infiltrated by American agitators or whatever.

But this ideology, the whole woke umbrella, critical race theory, gender ideology, all stems from the States.

And we have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

Our whole industry of NGOs thrive on it.

And you look at, they boast about this.

And you look at what their university degrees and masters are in.

They're all in critical race theory, gender ideology, all this stuff.

Okay.

Tell us about your organization, Maria.

advocates protecting children is a nonprofit that we have set up to provide ethical resources for people who are dealing with a gender ideology issue.

We support parents, a lot we get a lot of calls and emails from parents whose children suddenly announced.

that they are not the sex they were born, which we know that's not possible.

And homosexuality advocates had been working on same-sex marriage for 30 years, and they got the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

That's what they were fighting for and suddenly had nothing to do with their hands.

And I think they asked each other, well, what do we do now? What do we work on? And gender ideology was the next thing.

And that's why it splashed into the culture as quickly as it did.

Certainly against themselves, 'cause they chop off those aforementioned body parts, but against other people as well.

So what does the study show? Reading from the study, "These findings suggest that gender ideology is associated with left-wing authoritarianism and willingness to justify political violence." The study is called Where the Clinic Meets the Movement: Does Gender Ideology Arm Left-Wing Authoritarian Psychology? Obviously, you're seeing this play into the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a guy, allegedly, we'll wait until the conviction, but allegedly a guy who was dating a tranny furry.

Uh, you saw this in the Covenant School shooting, where we have the diaries, the manifesto of the trans shooter who murdered little Christian kids, who talks about the relevance of the gender ideology to that massacre on and on and on and on and on.

It's not just in the movies, it's not just in the stories.

It happens in real life all the time.

That's just my personal experience.

So many more stories of that.

So the Manhattan Institute concludes that experimental research is needed to determine causality, but also gender ideology may function as an ideological accelerant, telling left-wing authoritarian psychology who the enemy is, why the situation is urgent, and in those already disposed toward force, that violence is legitimate.

I just have a question because I'm not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching, because according to our president, there's only two genders.

And he said that he would be freezing agencies funding programs that promote promote gender ideology.

And this also very much goes against not only myself, but a lot of people's religious beliefs.

And so I am not going to participate in this because it's not legal, and I don't want to promote something that is against our president's laws as well as against my religious

So why is this important? What am I here to tell you? I'm here to say that if the state can force you to accept men as women, they can force you to accept anything.

Freedom of speech, belief, and association are the bedrock of a free society.

but they are in direct conflict with transgender ideology.

So I believe that this is the most important issue in society at the moment.
