Has the single sex trans school conundrum finally been resolved?

Your piece, DH, has rather more relevance to England than Scotland, but it does apply here, too, for what we call the private/fee-paying sector; we have few, if any, denominational schools in the state sector that are single-sex).

If anything, the situation in Scotland, in the state sector, is now dire, as more or less all teach gender ideology in some form – totally contrary to their legal guidance. The fee-paying schools still have some discretion, but most parents cannot afford to send their children to them, and even Catholic schools ‘accept’ gender ideology. I suspect that most of the ‘acceptance’ is the result of a generation of young, ‘woke’ teachers, and heads who are bludgeoned into ‘acceptance’ through fear of losing their jobs. I cannot think otherwise than this whole nonsense is putting even more stress on sensible teachers who are already hard-pressed.

In Scotland, there are numerous, state-funded ‘trans’ organizations, all acting as ‘advisors’ to government, with many ‘woke’ voices prevalent in the civil service and in local authorities. to the detriment of all. Needless to say, I, personally, would like to see them all cleared out of every public organization and institution. They are a menace to our children and youth, as well as being unhinged and deranged, which cannot be a good thing for any public service.

Your assertion, DH, that gender identity cannot be proved or disproved is, perhaps, a bit disingenuous? Every cell in one’s body carries one’s sex. That can be proved readily. What we are talking about is the connection or disconnection between brain and body. What an anorexic sees when she/he looks in the mirror is someone very different to the person that everyone else sees, so it is, beyond doubt, a body dysmorphic condition on the mental ill-health spectrum. The same, I would contend, applies to those with what is called ‘gender dysphoria’, hence the cry that they were born in the wrong body or that they always ‘knew’ they were the opposite sex.

This is the (present) requirement for a Gender Recognition Certificate. However, only a tiny fraction of the ‘trans gender’ community of today has this ‘gender dysphoria’. The vast majority of males are paraphiliacs (fetishists) or autogynephiles without accompanying body dysmorphia/gender dysphoria, and these conditions many psychologists have studied over many years, and can be attested to, as well. The female side of the equation is largely a result of social contagion and peer pressure, and again, this phenomenon was widely studied during the anorexia outbreak a few decades go, and the ‘cutting’ outbreak, almost solely confined to young females, while young males are less susceptible to peer pressure, but, because of their burgeoning sexuality, and the nature of male sexuality per se, are far more prone to fetishes and autogynephilia. Obviously, there will be males and females on the margins who do not fit these models, but, by and large, these, too, can be shown to be steady through the generations. Children’s susceptibilities to being indoctrinated (via school lessons on gender) are both immense and terrifying, and, again, many studies have been done into just that phenomenon in totalitarian/fascist societies.

Why we have this avalanche of ‘trans’ now is, I think, partly because of the liberal laws we have in the West, partly because ill-intended people (probably a large number of psychopaths) have seized the opportunity to cause chaos and driven it as activists, partly because porn is readily available in its extremes and because many (mainly middle-class leftist) people’s children have been influenced by it. They have not known struggle in any form, had everything handed to them on a plate and, now, their social conscience (which, in other circumstances might be a good thing) has seized on this gender ideology as the answer to all ills and as a means to rebel against the established order. They are not marching to make poor people’s lives better, for the vote or anything remotely worthwhile, but because they want to rebel against crumbling Western mores and values that are mostly decent because these are an easy target. They are, essentially, entitled and lazy. Not all, obviously, but too many. Again, this psychology can be underpinned by the experts.

What is not happening (although the first stirrings are to be felt now) is that anyone in a position of authority or in a position to offer truth and reality to lies and unreality have been hesitant to do so, to put their heads above the parapet because of the aggression and ‘cancelling’ tactics of the enfants terrible of our age. They are going to have to eventually, of course, because this nonsense has the potential to be fatal to our society, and to the West, in general, lauded and financed as it is by American corporate billionaires in the shadows (and, probably, psychopaths with a different agenda from those psychopathic activists), and they never risk their dollars on something unless it is going to enrich them even more – and, Stonewall, their corporate slave and ‘financial ‘beneficiary’ is only too willing to make a start with the youngest children in our schools, state or single-sex, fee-paying or otherwise. Like all corporate organizations, it is a self-perpetuating entity, blind in both eyes to its potential for destructive behaviours and immense harm.
