    National Science Teachers Association’s ‘Gender-Inclusive Biology’ Calls Women ‘People with Ovaries’

    The guide, titled “Gender-Inclusive Biology: A framework in action,” provides teachers “practical strategies for teaching about gender, sex, and sexuality in biology.” Among the guiding principles is a pronounced belief in “affirmation” and “anti-oppression.” “Sex verification in sports” is one of the practices that is listed as an example of oppression.

    The guide includes a section titled “Building Continuity in Gendered Language.” The section explicitly tells teachers to avoid terms like “mother,” instructing them to substitute it for “gestational parent.” The word “males” is also disposed of in favor of “XY individuals.”

    The section also complains that “Many medical and scientific statistics only use data from white, cisgender, European populations.”

    The NSTA also provides teachers with a guide to dismissing the objections of parents who are not comfortable with their children being taught the leftwing view of sex and gender. When faced with the objection that this curriculum “isn’t age-appropriate,” the NSTA argues “many young people are developing and coming to terms with their gender identity and sexuality during high school and even before.”

    As one "white, cisgender, European" "XY person" to another, I wonder if anyone still wants to scorn the notion that things like "birthing person" are being made official legal terms and will continue to be pushed.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      What does science have to do with “affirmation” and “anti-oppression?”

        If it ever could be shown that a man could actually become a biological woman that would be "affirmation."

          According to KG, most leftists don't take this stuff seriously and "have given up the game," so I don't think we have to be concerned.

              As a "leftist" I agree. These outbreaks of silliness come and go. There was a story going round in England years ago that in the cafeteria of a certain left wing Local Council office, one was not allowed to ask for "black coffee" (the word "black" was considered to be insulting to, well, black people). The preferred phrase was "coffee without milk". I can't be sure it was true, but it did fit the then attempts to change the language to fit the latest PC ideas. Not that I necessarily disagree with the motivation behind this stuff, but some people, when they get the bit between their teeth so to speak, will charge off in all kinds of odd directions.

                When you have leftist woke loons in federal government, in the house, in the executive branch, and now on the supreme court -- aside from the fact it now infests our universities, national athletics, Hollywood, and the entirety of pop culture -- I beg to disagree.

                  Right the NSTA has 40,000 members - teachers and educators. Their roots go deep.

                    I think your source is confused. The whole point is that it's not just women who are to be called 'People with Ovaries'.

                          Thank you. The more I think about and read about gender, the more I think we should only acknowledge it as a matter of biological sex and not the constructs people make of it. Our chromosomes don’t have to define our character or personality. From what I’ve read, trans people often have a very binary view of gender, but people don’t fit into neat little boxes. X’s and Y’s do.

                            ? There are a variety of variations on the common XX and XY types, including, but not limited to X, XXX, XXY, XYY, XXXX, XXXY, XXYY, XXXXY, XXXXX.

                            Furthermore the expression of those chromosomes can be hugely affected by hormonal factors, so you can get people who look like women and spend all their lives with everyone including themselves believing their DNA is female, but who are actually XY.

                            Here is a chart of some of the variations that can occur scientifically. On the far left is typical biological females, on the far right is typical biological males. The spectrum in between is a set of variations that can cause people to develop atypically, which includes having a different set of chromosomes, or mutations in certain genes that affect sexual development, or variations in hormone levels and receptibility to those hormones.

                              I saw a clip today that reminded me that educated people are getting less tolerant of the anti-scientific garbage conservatives spew on this issue.

                              A Republican senator in Wyoming speaking at a University of Wyoming commencement got booed when she said "Even fundamental scientific truths, such as the existence of 2 sexes, male and female are subject to challenge these days."
                              First 40 seconds here:


                              The video recaps the clip in longer context afterward, and I note the audience didn't boo when she listed a variety of other conservative claims, e.g. importance of gun rights, human rights coming from God not the government etc. So it wasn't like it was a liberal audience booing conservative claims in general. Only when she falsely stated 2 sexes was a fundamental scientific truth did they boo, and again when she tried to excuse / double-down on her claim.
