   I agree this is ridiculously one-sided and in many ways inappropriate for that age, but this bit is unfair:

   Students quickly learn it is highly undesirable to be known as a lesbian.

   If you look at the scenario and the upside-down answer, it calls the “going out with him would make you a lesbian” comment both transphobic and homophobic.

   I like the Fallon Fox part where the dad agrees Fallon Fox as a former man is stronger so women should not have to fight her. Then it says don’t disagree with your dad if he might get angry (presumably if your dad transitions into a woman then you could disagree safely). Interesting that kids are to trust that no trans people mean them harm but on the other hand assume their dad could snap at any moment.

   ‘It doesn’t matter who someone used to be – what’s important is who they are now.’

   But we will trawl through several years-worth of your social media comments and blog posts. If we find anything that we can twist and mould until it resembles transphobia we will mobilise the mob to ensure you never get asked to speak anywhere, on any subject, ever again. We will also endlessly harass your employer until you are fired. If we can’t find anything to twist and mould, but just don’t like the cut of your jib, we’ll do all of the above anyway. Because we can.

   We must not dead name or exhibit photos of pre-transitioning?

   So do we expunge Bruce Jenner’s Olympic Records?

   Will we never again see a photo of a blacker Michael Jackson?

   Dave Grohl is no longer a to be remembered for Nirvana? Only Foo Fighters?

   Sorry, but your history IS part of who you are.

   I read Caitlyn Jenner’s biography. In it she notes that she had been told that “deadnaming” is strictly forbidden, and that a person must not even deadname themselves…then goes on to say that would be very confusing, so she’s going to say “Bruce” when she was Bruce, etc.

   Someone updated her Wikipedia page shortly after she transitioned, blindly changing “Bruce” to “Caitlyn”, “he” to “she”, and so on, leading to discordant passages about Caitlyn winning the men’s decathlon, etc. Someone else later went though and cleaned that up (changing “Caitlyn” to “Jenner” and avoiding pronouns).

   So, yeah, I agree that it’s ridiculous to try to hide history like that.

   In other news, the Mueller Report has actually been finished and released internally. The AG has said significant portions could come out as early as this weekend.

   So…either big news or…not. Either way, good to have it out. If it has damning info, most of it will stick until the election. If it fizzles out, then any backlash should disapate by the election.

   On that “are you transphobic?” list, well, sorry #13 —- men in dresses are funny and if that comes from watching too much Benny Hill shows, too bad. And notice how the trans indoctrination never mentions sex but pretends that it is all about “gender” and other cult speak. The part about Dangerous Dad is seriously creepy, BTW.

   I don’t think it’s homophobic if a straight girl doesn’t want to date a female trans person, and says that doing so would make her a lesbian.

   Jesus christ, the conditioning to be worried about violence from your own father is especially insidious. That’s scientology-level “trust us over your family” stuff.

   Also, it is not transphobic at all to note that sexual attraction is about being attracted to bodies rather than identities; a female person (you know, girl or woman) attracted to the male body is straight; it is only fair and reasonable that she would not want to a) date another girl and b) thereby become known as a lesbian.

   Just how many trans boys/men are playing (American) football? Reaping the special advantage that ‘transition by declaration’ gave them?

   So dating a trans girl makes a natal girl a lesbian? I think that’s a sneaky claim right there. How many fully intact transwomen ” lesbians” would be sexually interested in other intact transwomen “lesbians” as sexual partners? If transwomen are women, they should be cool with that, right? Would an aversion to dating other (fellow?) transwomen also constitute a cotton ceiling, or is that a charge saved for leveling at lesbians who were actually born female?

    YNNB, “Kal” is a trans boy. I.e., a young female person who “identifies as” a boy.

    I know. It’s confusing.
