My daughter is a second year HS teacher n an affluent district. In 2 years at the schools there has been one suicide, 3-4 attempted, she has had multiple cutters as students, kids that burn themselves with curling irons and pull their own hair out. My daughter is 23 and believes it is caused from social media as these kids have no financial problems. Social meaning kids and their parents.
Out of curiosity, as a teacher in less affluent but likely geographically close school, how do you think it relates to the thread?
I was responding to Henry. All these issues are with all kids now.
No. The longer he stays in college the better chance he'll interact with people unlike him. So it would be an advantage for him to stick around, as time in a university isn't all about learning stuff in books.
I am not at all challenging you or anything. I know tone is tough when typed. I am just curious how you and your daughter were feeling on the issue.
It's off topic and I would appreciate it be left for somewhere else.
Ohh I thought he said he was going to Central Florida? That was a while ago the last time I was paying attention though. Thanks WB, I appreciate the update. I guess I'll leave the thread to the thread owner Ilove80s.
Every institution I've attended has been accredited. Please get your facts straight or better yet, not attack my personal life.
I think perhaps you and I looked at different charts in that article. I’m not sure how you got a binary gender with feminine men and masculine women only from that chart. Look again at Ovitesticular and 46,XX testicular DSD.
I read the words, I didn't look at the pictures or charts. Well actually I have seen pictures of Ovitesticular I just consider the percentages to be so low that they are an anomaly and hardly worth the the ruckus that has been raised. But I will concede the fact that Ovitesticular is real.
I listed two there: ovotesticular and 46 XX testicular.
So would you say 4 genders? That's rhetorical no you wouldn't Because the science is always changing and so is the political climate. they drive each other, I'm sorry but you cannot separate the two. The argument is as old as mankind. [humanity]
Appreciate the advice. Everyday is a work in progress. I'm a little wiser and more respectful than I was 6 months ago, a year ago, etc.
I’m fine with saying there are two or three or four or a hundred genders. I don’t really care. Because in order to set a number you have to tell me the context. Like you did. “Well, if we set gender as combination of chromosomes and gonads, there are four.”
Who said its better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt?
I don't think that's right. You may want to check your source. Are cis initials S.U?
Or we could accept that while we set societal category rules and norms, as people grow up and get agency they may want to be recategorized since the categories are in some ways arbitrary. And just let them do that.
You’re going to have to decide whether we’re talking about sex or gender. Sex, biologically speaking, is a sliding scale without a true binary and gender is a social construct.
No, binary sex is definitely a fallacy which is why I said “sliding scale without a true binary”.
If you’re referring to someone as “a boy who feels like a girl” there’s a fairly reasonable argument that you aren’t treating that person with respect.
I’m glad it’s interesting to you. There’s lots of research on all of these topics out there for you to find. We can always chat when you get back. Good luck.
Thanks for the link.
