To say "I oppose teaching gender ideology in schools" rather than "gender ideology isn't taught in schools, shut up" is a failing but I think it's less a political failing or even a moral failing and more a failure of human substance. You are a man with the backbone of a bowl of Angel Delight, mate
It’s so depressing how a single-issue crank billionaire can shape coverage of an entire general election campaign for days, basically just by confirming she’s a single issue crank. Longing for someone to stand up and say “your vote’s no better than anyone else’s, jog on”
It is also a failing of the press, who fail to ask the question: "how is gender ideology taught in schools then?", to which, no doubt, a woolly convoluted political answer would follows, saying in 8 sentences and 38 seconds what all of us could in far less: "It isn't".
I mean, we could have a great discussion about what ideology is and what kind of ideology is involved in *anything* you teach. But me thinks this is not the conversation they want.
I could teach this subject.
101: Quit worrying about it, you are who you are, to hell anyone who says otherwise, the whole thing is a spectrum, self expression is how we express our feelings about our place on the spectrum. We aren't a monocultured hive mind so express how ya like. Class Dismissed.
The fucked up part is gender ideology IS being taught in schools, it's just the conservative, cis-based gender ideology of "boys wear pants and have short hair, girls wear dresses and have long hair"
