England, based?
Agenda PostThen everyone who complains about this is Islamophobic.
The Cass report suggested that maybe giving gay autists hormones which, according to California might cause cancer, with negligible oversight wasn't a great idea. Continuing to queue up new experimental subjects in primary school probably seemed like an iffy response.
The cass report was another nail into the coffin of queer theory that the damn thing looks like Pinhead but the left is still in love with it.
If the left came to terms with the truth, that means they castrated their children, pumped them full of hormones, and drove them to suicide over a lie. They can't accept reality because the reality is that they have done horrible, unforgivable things to their own children.
They can live with that, these are the same people pushing the MAP narrative, like that one democrat politician who is advocating for child sex dolls for MAPs. I don't necessarily oppose those dolls, but I'd need hard data to see that it doesn't enable them to hurt real children, which I suspect it does, before I'd be on board. Calling them MAPs seems like a way towards acceptance, and that seems like a mistake, if you're attracted to kids and seek help, you shouldn't be stigmatized for doing the right thing, but I feel like calling them MAPs might also embolden them
Pedophiles are such a niche part of the population. Like, what’s the point for advocating for them? You may as well be making policies for people who like eating literal shit. It’d probably be the same size demographic
When people endorsed horrific medical ideas like eugenics, bloodletting, phrenology, doctors endorsing smoking, or heroin cough syrup you could at least have some mercy for not having pubmed to easily review the academic diarrhea "backing" these theories.
The Mengelian horror show leftists perpetuated is probably amongst the most unforgiveable of any crimes against humanity.
Not because it necessarily harmed a larger quantity of people than the above. But because the ability to see through such repulsive operations, which millions of people did and many were shamed for, was freely available.
The Cass report was simply a critical threshold of scientists willing to publicly gather together what most of us already knew.
according to California might cause cancer
If you slap a Prop 65 warning sticker on dat ass, it's okay though.
Eating ass causes cancer?
Yes actually. Turns out fecal matter is bad for people.
But literally everything cause cancer according to California so I don't see how that changes anything
Perhaps I treated you too harshly
Even a stopped clock
Thank you for being one of the only people to get that saying right. In theory, depending on how the clock is broken, it might never tell the right time, a stopped clock is always right, twice a day

Enemy of my enemy
Is still my enemy. Islam is fundamentally incompatible with a society built on virtues of any kind other than islam.
Sure.
They're also fighters who don't care if they seem "nice" or not.
This singular attribute makes them more effective at opposing wokeoid nonsense than 95% of other forms of rightist.
True. At times, I am frustrated by the Christian obligations towards mercy and compassion. But without them, we would be savages unworthy of our civilizations and unable to build them to begin with. Islam doesn't build. It conquers and drives to ruin. The caliphate during the Muslim expansion into Christian lands is an example. We shouldn't let a plague into our house simply because it kills off the other plagues. It just leaves us with an even worse plague in the end.
Rome had no such inclinations and they built a civilization that, I would argue, largely eclipsed any since (particularly if you grade on a curve for the time they lived in.)
Lots of Germanic and Norse tribes also had decent deals going. They didn't exactly have anything more advanced than tribal societies but also didn't want them.
Western Civilization would do well to embrace the words of the Havamal where it says "Where you recognize evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies."
Do I like Islam? No, I don't. Do I prefer it to the woke ideology? Absolutely (particularly when you remember that the woke ideology is what enabled Islam to take foothold in our lands...) Would I be willing to make a temporary truce with Islam to (politically) overcome it? You bet.
If somebody lets wolves into your house, you could do worse than to turn the wolves against them.
True enough. I'm no scholar of any kind. But I see patterns. I am biased in that I live in Western Christian society, and I am myself a Christian. When I see Rome, I see only the chains and the torture they inflicted on my predecessors and the victory that God delivered to them by slowly subverting the belief in the Olympic deities. As for the northern lands, we can not forget that they were raiders and pillagers who took much of their advancements from more advanced and more peaceful civilizations. As for the words of havamal. Complete and total agreement.
Have you ever asked WHY those individuals did those things? For example, sure, the Norse had raiders...but they really started raiding the Christian nations hard in response to Christian incursions into their lands and on their faiths.
The Romans persecuted Christianity because it was completely inverted from their own values and beliefs. Rome was generally religiously pluralist, and Christianity demanded that it be the only game in town, hence the conflict.
I'm not particularly religious myself (though I do wish I still were), but history isn't so black and white.
In fact, you have more in common with the average Roman commoner back in the ancient days than you do with the Christian. You now deal with a new "religious movement" that's unifying various "outcast groups" and is trying to tear down and deface YOUR heroes, virtues, etc. and calls you evil for resisting it.
Don't forget that Romans believed that preforming sacrifices to Gods is a factor that prevented natural disasters so Christians refusing to preform sacrifices was seen as a failure of social duty.
Islam doesn't build. It conquers and drives to ruin.
lmao I am guessing you do not know much about the history of the Islamic empires. Baghdad was arguably the largest and richest city in the world at its height.
Korakorum was great too. Dont look into its history
The only reason they have success is due to the very popular meme with the two buttons. Leftist and Lib-leftist are caught in a conundrum where they want to support Muslims because they are: generally not white and a “minority” supposedly. At the same time, their ideology is deeply rooted in an actual patriarchy that above all things has unwavering contempt for progressive ideology of western society.
The reason they have success is because they play the game to win, and not to make sure everybody has a nice time.
They don’t generally succeed at anything. So I don’t know what you’re suggesting. Last I checked, for all the concessions that the west has made, our rule of laws remains generally the same.
When's the last time a Christian city council did this?
If Islam was mostly white this wouldn't work. Lefties claim they aren't racist because of x, y, or z but the reality is that they're just as capable of racism as the rest of us, except they control academia so they get to redefine what racism even is, and of course it excludes them.
It may not work as well, but sure it would.
Literally just stop caring if leftists think you’re a kind person or not, and then start playing for your own team. Much of their power is lost over you as soon as you do that.
Lets say, Islam takes over a western country. I know it sounds cucked but entertain this idea: who is gonna get fucked harder: the liberal nonbinary sjw woman or the straight white conservative guy who will just grow a beard and just.... continue as usual? I heard someone saying he's pretty much against Islam but if it happens hes just converts, going to drink at home and basically wont really matter to him
Lmao such weak conviction to your beliefs if you'll just convert to be comfortable. Jesus who?
I wonder if you really understand what a fundamentalist Islam society is.
Won't be as simple as just converting. They also tend to be very authoritarian. You say you will go home and have a drink but you do know its Haram in Islam right? (Unlawful).
I would rather take gays over Islam, at least they are our own people even if I consider them dumb.
Gay people aren’t dumb
Not gay people in particular, rather I meant the trans ideology is dumb to me personally - insane cope of believing grass being greener on the other side, and thinking all problems in life will vanish once they transform.
well for some trans people it’s not really something they can control. It’s a real condition (gender dysphoria) which can cause significant distress for them just from being their birth sex. It’s like depression or any other mental health issue.
“He was a hero, I just couldn’t see it”
Its because they cant tell a British woman from a British man. Thousands of scientists tried but failed.
that's because Brits are either asexually reproduce from the sludge on the floor of a Weatherspoon's or simply tumble out of aristocratic trouser legs during a game of polo
Unfortunately, you are now under arrest for breaching the Official Secrets Act. King Charles is not pleased and has decided you are to lose your head.

We've already been called TERF island because of JK Rowling and not supporting Trans people enough.
TERF Island sounds like a dating show where they take a group of cisgender men and women and throw in one transgender person who has to stay undercover for as long as possible.
it be like a 20 second episode if you choose anyone from a certain subreddit here
I never would have guessed it was Stephanie, the only girl on the island with shoulders like a linebacker.
I’d watch the shit out of that
You joke, but some tv executive is writing this down.
This was basically the idea behind a "dating" show called "there's something about Miriam".
They tricked some poor guy into dating a transgender person. I think theres a recent documentary about the aftermath.
This might sound fucked up… but that would make for a good show.
Not supporting Trans people enough, but just enough to send Transgender rapists to female prisons.
Pretty much everywhere but the US is realizing how terrible this is. A lot of people here realize it, but not enough people in power will say it.
The US does have a major export in the form of entertainment and social media. If I had to guess, other countries are realizing it's bad because it wasn't natural to this extent in their country and was imported by the US.
Which also means it'll probably take a while to truly die out in the US because it was never a natural movement to begin with. People hate to admit they were wrong, but everyone hates even more to admit they were fooled.
I think a major issue is the tribalism around this issue in particular. The smugness that people will have while having the most moronic and incoherent takes on this issue is baffling. The biggest justification I can see for conspiracy theorists thinking this is some sort of conspiracy is that the idea of a political party potentially losing support over such lunacy seems ridiculous if there's no ulterior motive.
I wouldn't even say it's a conspiracy theory, but at the same time they're not entirely off either.
We have the "benefit" of having a bunch of dinosaurs and out of touch people as our politicians. They don't interact with normal people in person anymore. It's always either political pundits who agree with everything they say, pre-selected journalists with the questions known up front, or other people who are out of touch with reality. Anytime a normal person interacts with them you can see the disdain on their face clear as day, especially when the normal people start to make it clear they don't like them.
Which leads to these politicians, sorry, I mean their assistants, interacting with terminally online people only. They pass what's "popular" and "approved" to their boss who now thinks this is a common and wanted belief among normal people. Now the politician is even more out of touch with reality, the terminally online folk cling on to it being a "good" thing because they have para social relationships with an ideology, and the country splits farther apart as it creates more tribalism.
I sincerely doubt there is any ulterior motive, just a bunch of out of touch people claiming they know what's best for everyone else going around in a circle. You could almost say it's weaponized incompetence to an extreme degree.
I think it really is just that people feel beholden to really radical and stupid ideas. We literally have at least a sizable minority of the country that thinks Israel is just slaughtering innocent people for no reason and thinks that all the steps they take to avoid that are just propaganda.
That's probably one of the roots to the overall problem and is only compounding to make it all worse. I'd like to say there's a solution to it, but at this point I don't even think there is one. It's just two sides constantly digging in deeper out of sheer blindness that both sides have a lot more in common than they'd like to admit.
More people need to learn how to actually critically think, learn how to think for themselves, and stop putting ideology on an almost god-like pedestal. But that'll never happen...
All of this reminds me of something my dad used to say to me, "There's a finite amount of intelligence in our world, and we passed the threshold a long time ago." I always thought he was being an ass or melodramatic, but I can't help but think of that more often as the world seems to be losing more.
At leas not ones that can be taken seriously
How terrible what is? Banning gender discussion or gender discussion? I’m assuming the latter but I can’t tell.
I want to...
I really want to.
But I cannot give Based to the English.
We grant you the title of "nice" but we don't not place you on the council of based
This is outrageous, it’s unfair. How can you ban gender theory and not be based?
Because you Muppets used 1984 as a guideline, not a warning.
As if the US hasn't?
The difference being that we still have the tools to revoke the consent of the governed, while they don't
Based and the English are indelibly cringe pilled
I'm actually shocked, a year ago it seemed like they were REALLY leaning into it. The sudden 180 has me a little suspicious. All that nonsense, for years and suddenly the UK government is like "Oh wait, never mind. I suppose there are only two genders and sterilizing kids maybe isn't a great idea after all".
I'm not talking shit either. My mom is English and lives in Scotland. So I stay somewhat informed on political nonsense over there. She's kind of clueless about the culture war stuff but is definitely a life-long Labour voter. I'm in the states and I fear we might be too far gone with this progressive stuff but the UK is giving me some real hope.
It was Scotland that was leaning into it
I thought Scotland was based? When they passed that hate speech law, most of the reports within the first day were reports of their Minister's anti white speech

Because religious exceptions suck, and two negatives do not make a positive.

First banning puberty blockers for kids, and now this? What's next, free speech?
damn also puberty blockers, England redemption arc going hard
As unlikely as that is, I can at least imagine a UK as based as that—unlike say, France or Canada where the image simply won’t form in my mind no matter how hard I try.
There is a way to think of Canada as based but you need to read which articles of the Geneva convention they caused to be created.
In England? Never in a million years.
They already don't have free speech, wtf are you saying.
Exactly that
We're delaying the teaching of anything that comes under 'sexual education', but of course the headlines make it sound as -phobic as possible
Interesting to see this coming apart. My trans friend will likely rant about this when we meet next. I'll grab popcorn before then.
Aye all this ol’ genda rubbish is a bitta bollocks innit? Sex is quite the constitutional affair see? Cheerio I’ll take me tea whilst having a walk on the grounds govna an’ ganda at the preddy mea-dows.
I still can’t believe the Queen is dead :(
England keeps having coughing fits of sanity amidst all the screwyness they've engaged in in the last quarter century.
Question. What is being taught?
Source: am British finishing school this year
I remember very basic education about puberty and what it entailed in years 4-6 (9-11yrs old)
Some education about the “mechanics” of sex in year 7 (11-12yrs old)
Almost nothing further than that until Years 10-11 (15-16yrs old) where we were taught about contraceptives, informed consent and the laws regarding age of consent, sexual assault etc.
This is also where I first remember ever being “taught” about LGBT. It was nothing much more than “here’s what the letters mean, some people identify differently, please use basic respect when talking about them.”
Past that, years 12-13 have had nothing. At this stage, a lot of us are legal adults (over 18) but here in the UK, the age of consent is 16, so our sexual education ended there pretty much.
Wait, why was it taught in the first place?
Gotta confuse them early on and you've got clinically depressed patrons for life.
20 years ago this position wasn't based, it was just normal. -_-
Same with "if you have a penis, you should use the men's locker room."
On the other hand, perhaps us weirdo Lib-Right Purples are just jealous that someone else came up with a way to make it semi socially acceptable for men to use the same locker room as women... 🤔

Good. Thank you TERF island.
Gender identity doesn’t need to be taught. If someone truly feels like their gender doesn’t match their biological sex, they can come to that conclusion and figure out what to do about it on their own without any outside influence.
Oh nooooo teachers rights and shit blah blah blah ᵇᵃˢᵉᵈ
Grooming loicense revoked.
Its about damn time.
As an Englishman I guarantee the government is up to something
Maybe Muslim influence? They don't allow anyone to push them around when it comes to their beliefs
Not at all. Look up the Cass Review that the NHS commissioned. It's the reason most politicians have had to change stance on the trans stuff.
It flops between based and cringe constantly. Pick a lane.

But as lib right I support your desire to pay less tax.

Love it
Is it really not because of Islam?
I think they deserve some credit tbh.
Muslim parents have been pretty vocal about the gender Marxism crap
No, it's because of the "Cass review" which was commissioned a couple of years ago by the NHS and has just been released, saying (surprise surprise) that these treatments are at best unproven and at worst very dangerous.
Why do you think so?
I don’t see what the Israel war has anything to do with all the Muslim people striking on the street and screaming at teachers to stop teaching their kids about LGBT.
I don't know the context but why? I'm not an enthusiastic supporter for lgbtq rights but banning it is too much. International policy and domestic policy are different I suppose. Muslim voters and Muslim countries are different.
The UK? The same country that arrested Count Dankula? Guess there’s hope for them after all.
Alhamdulillah
Yet another victory for the light and another L for the dark
I mean, if its something you decide for yourself and its totally subjective, school shouldnt tell you the right way to do it because theres no right way

It's a strange conflict when Islam is in play, and I've never been much sure what to make of it.
On one hand, things like Sura 47:4 and Sura 48:29 don't paint a great picture of the "religion of peace." Explicit commands to destroy infidels and replace their cultures, and unlike the Bible that is never overriden by later scriptures.
On the other hand, the similarities between Islam and Christianity are significant, with Islam being something of a continuation of Christianity, descending from the sons of Ishmael. The values are similar, if more excessive and controlling for Islam, and there's a broad overlap of what moderates of both religions believe is the ideal world.
Schools are horrible at this sort of stuff so I see it as a lesser of two evils.
It should be up to the parents.
Don’t count your flatheads before you’ve battered them.
Conservative party are in crisis the polling aren't generous. The engaging of these cultural war is an attempt of doing something. It doesn't care if this will have negative impact if who have gender dysphoria, or in general aren't in the LGBT community.
It's about damn time. Can we get a lil too right pls? Haven't seen them in almost a century.

The world will start to heal from this mind virus
Since "progressivism" (read: deconstructivism) has decided to attack on like 40,000 fronts, it's interesting to see where each country focuses its respective fightback. The UK (and if I'm not mistaken, Sweden as well) have done studies into progressive gender ideology and realized it is a complete disaster, so you get them banning gender "affirming" care for under-18s, and now this. Meanwhile here in the US we're still up to our ears in people wanting to transition kids and adults claiming to be they/them dog-spirit masc-presenting whatever whatevers. By contrast, European countries are all but handing over all their rights relating to speech and expression, but in America we're pretty strong on that front, and though progs here try and sometimes succeed at getting people canceled for what they say, we don't have a strong movement to legally restrict speech and it's hard to imagine one ever gaining momentum, while in Europe people are being arrested over tweets and so forth. We can all learn a thing or two from one another, except from the French obviously.
...and Canada, they're doing a full nation-cucking speedrun and probably can't be saved.
Good. I’m a biologist and this shit is so annoying.
Wonder how much it will cost them to re-print all the school books with no pronouns.
Hey fellas since using fear based Sex education worked so well last time, let's do the same thing with gender education.
