Gender Spectrum:

In a simple, straightforward manner, we provide consultation, training and events designed to help families, educators, professionals, and organizations understand and address the concepts of gender identity and expression. Our accessible, practical approach is based on research and experience, enabling our clients to gain a deeper understanding of gender all along the spectrum.

We present an overview of how society currently defines gender and how these restrictive definitions can be detrimental to those who do not fit neatly into these categories. We then help you identify and remove the obstacles so all are free to be their authentic selves. [Emphasis added]

How does Gender Spectrum promote a gender sensitive and inclusive environment for children of all ages? Via public schools.

Justin Charters from IJReview.com reports, “A school in Nebraska is stirring up controversy after teachers were reportedly handed training documents instructing them to refrain from calling their students boys or girls. The document, obtained by Nebraska Watchdog, wants to make sure teachers aren’t using phrases like ‘you guys’ and ‘ladies and gentlemen.’ Instead, it offers the solution for students to be identified by things that are personally important to them, such as their favorite color or TV show.”

Here is a portion of the “training document” provided by Gender Spectrum:

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a movement toward gender inclusivity in public schools:

In 2013, a first-grader who identified as a girl was granted permission to use the girl’s restroom at his Colorado school.

Also in 2013, a California school determined which students would use the restroom by their gender identity, not their biological sex.

This September, a Minnesota school passed rules for students to be able to play sports based on their gender identity, not their birth.

So, which do you prefer to be called? “Ladies and gentlemen” – or the politically correct “purple penguins?”

As Ayn Rand wrote, “The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other – until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country’s official ideology.”

Today this appears absurd, but for the next generation of American children, will this become the “official ideology.” Just ask your child or grandchild what he or she believes.
