How to get it wrong
A teacher at That School tells us more about the bullying of the sixth form question-asker:
Every so often an event occurs that reveals the stranglehold of transgender ideology on our schools and society. One such event happened recently at the girls’ secondary where I teach.
Every so often or multiple times every day, depending on who you are and where you’re looking. I pay a lot of attention to that stranglehold, so I see a lot of those revelations.
It was probably naïve of the girl not to realise that to disagree, however respectfully, with transgender ideology is not allowed in much of our education system today. To question its basic tenets is heresy and heretics need to be exposed, attacked and got rid of. Even if they are such notable figures as J.K.Rowling. These tenets sometimes include the trans language that women are ‘uterus havers’, ‘people with vaginas’, or ‘chest-feeders’. And the concept that the birth sex of male and female is a myth.
Maybe, but she’s 18 – being naïve about a lot of things goes with the territory. 18s may think they know everything, but they don’t.
Otherwise perfectly nice and agreeable sixth formers had colluded and congregated to show they were on the moral high ground, the ‘right side of history’. Any waverers got the clearest message about what would happen to them if they didn’t conform.
And what for, I wonder. It’s not as if this is a struggle for racial justice or an end to the subordination of women. It’s a very luxury version of Impassioned Activism, the kind you have when all the really important injustices have been corrected. Are we in that situation? Cue hollow laughter.
The girl, who after the incident had been asked to work alone in the library (for her own safety), says she was later told by the [sixth form] head: ‘How can the testimony of an entire group of other students be wrong? I have to support them, too.’
Not support them in bullying another student she doesn’t. Also, they are wrong. How can they be wrong? In this climate, all too easily – their own behavior is an illustration of how. Ferocious bullying is the response to the slightest skepticism about Magic Gender, so that’s how the testimony of a whole group can be wrong.
Perhaps naive in that she probably thought that understanding reality would merit the support of teachers and staff, whom I would have expected to defend her rights and safety strenuously.
Holy shit. Is this sixth form head aware of the fact that she is quite clearly identifying as an invertebrate? So she “supports” these students by allowing and encouraging their bullying and assault of another student who disagrees with them? Does she always take her moral lead from the minors in their charge? How many other teenage fads and fashions is this staff member prepared to “support”? Would she be as quick to defend arson, theft or suicide if they were backed up by the “testimony” of a sufficient number of students? What an absolute coward. She should be sacked.
If such private schools are intended to build “character”, just exactly what kind of “characters” are they trying to build? Is Manhunt being used as a text there? It seems to me that the only one displaying any character is the young woman everyone else seems so eager to vilify and drive out. She’s demonstrated courage to question authority and speak her mind. She has shown independennce of thought in the face of a viciously enforced confomity. She seems to have learned all of these despite her schooling rather than because of it. I’ll take more of her, please.
If Owen “Inquisitor” Jones gets a hold of the bullies to hear their side, he’ll probably paint their actions as an act of righteous “defence” on behalf of the “Most Marginalized Community”.
Where have I heard that before? Oh yes, religious apologetics: ‘one billion christians / muslims can’t be wrong!’
