Girl gets raped in bathroom for Diversity (DIE) "intersectionalism"- therefore Diversity (DIE) and intersectionalism are evil and bad.

mhaze,

I did explain it. Ironically, it is only you who is doing the asserting with your 'nuh-uh!'

If you want to offer more than a mere 'nuh-hu', then you'll at least need to critique my reasoning.

This is how I see the 'science' of it all.
There are three main aspects to a person.
Firstly, physical shape.
Secondly, sexuality. (sexual drive or preference)
Thirdly, what I call emotional outlook.
These can all vary from strongly male to strongly female.
When all are male, we have a typical male.
When all are female, we have a typical female.
However, due to genetic error and other variation, there can be odd combinations.
This results in persons who can be physically one thing, but emotionally and sexually another.
All quite simple really.
We need to accept the reality of it all.
Were one of your children to be so varied, would you reject them out of hand?
If so, are you a good parent?

Dear Ipso Fatso,

Great post and I agree - thank you!

The problem is only when this natural thing is being turned into an "identity", then further when that "identity" is politicised.

Nothing in our body or mind, including the three aspects you mentioned (the physical shape of our body; our sexual preferences; and our emotional outlook) has anything to do with our identity: we HAVE a body, we HAVE a mind, but we are not identical to either.

Ones 'identity' or 'gender' is the combined effect of ones individual aspects?
But it might be largely decided by ones 'emotional outlook'?
Whatever the situation, now we are aware of it, we need to accept the reality of it all.
It alarms me that some religious groups have such a narrow minded and harmful approach.
I see it as a natural quirk of nature, which aims to limit population growth.
This means we should assist nature by encouraging 'variations' not to reproduce?
I don't mean that harshly.
It is just a mild observation.
