Making It Up as They Go Along

Making It Up as They Go Along
I'm hearing the term "binary" being used a lot lately," my wife said the other day. "What exactly is meant by that?" Good question, I've always assumed it had something to do with numbers, but now it is being applied to sexuality. I looked it up. I kid you not, there's actually a web site called Gender Wiki, and here's what they say about binary genders:

"The gender binary is a term used to describe the idea that there are only two possible genders, man and woman, which can be assigned on the basis of genitalia. This system often also enforces masculinity for men and femininity for women through gender rolesand socially-imposed restrictions togender expressionandsex characteristics.

Although many people consider the gender binary to be an accurate description of gender, there are many who identify as genders outside of male and female, which are referred to as non-binary. Additional genders have a long history in some non-Western cultures. However, in cultures which follow the gender binary,non-binarypeople are often systematically excluded. This exclusion may also extend to people who identify astransgendermen or women, for failing to have agender identitywhich matches theirassigned sex."

Get that? Non-binary are genders outside of male and female. And in the mean discriminatory Western culture non-binary people are systematically excluded. Which is to say, Western civilization is not as inclusive nor as enlightened (read: woke) as other cultures. The stupid, racist, homophobic, mentally retarded West; the same West that produced the most beautiful art and music in the world, that developed medical and scientific discoveries and breakthroughs that benefited all of mankind is actually the backward culture, far behind third world nations and primitive tribes.

But those who claim that there are more than just male and female sexes, that in fact all individuals can label themselves (or make up) any sex they want to be and the world must go along with it, those people are considered the enlightened ones.

Are these the same people that keep harping about following the "science?" Science has long ago determined that G od (or nature, if you prefer) created two sexes, male and female.

It's not how one "feels," it's all about biology. The sex of ababyis determined by two sex chromosomes inherited from both the genetic parents. Ababywill normally inherit one sex chromosome from the mother and one from the father.A man's X and a woman's X combine to become agirl, and a man's Y combines with a woman's X to become a boy.

I didn't invent it. Western culture didn't invent it. It's hard science. But the woke-holes won't accept it. It doesn't fit their agenda. They just want to make it up as they go. They only "follow science" when it is in their interests to do so.

Like so much other cockeyed ideology, this nonsense began about 60 years ago in the universities and has oozed its way out into society at large.

Leftist media, weak-minded politicians, along with many ordinary people who simply didn't want to be labeled as "exclusionary" went along with the so-called educators. Thousands of years of biological knowledge was thrown over for politically correct inclusivity.

Never mind that it's wrong, if it makes sexual deviates feel good, then let's go for it.

The non-binary idea is just another example of the death of truth. Remember, in colleges today young people are taught that there is no such thing as a "truth." There is YOUR truth. There is MY truth. But there is no one truth for all. Thank you university professors.

Oh, and one more thought about this whole thing; I wish people would stop using "gender" and "sex" interchangeably. They are not the same thing. Sexrefers to a set of biological attributes in humans and animals. Genderrefers to the socially constructed roles and identities for "gender diverse" people. When a woman is pregnant and has an ultrasound done, she is told the SEX of the baby, not the GENDER.

Now if we could use the word binary only when it applies to numbers we will have really made some progress in the common-sense department.
