Marx, Granski & their compatriots have no relationship to the modern 21 Century. These people lived in an entirely different World to the one we live in. The Culture of today bears no relationship to the Victorian & beyond era. I don't understand the fascination with their Ideals.

Poirot: Josephus seems to think two genders can't use a toilet facility without trying to molest each other.

I even have a uni-sex toilet in my own home. None of our friends have ever complained, & I leave the seat up. I figure it's just as easy for them to put the seat down as it is for me to put the seat up. ;-)

Dear Poirot,

Fear mongering and trying to drag us back to the
dark ages is common place amongst the righteous
right. As Jill Stark writing for the Sydney
Morning Herald points out -
Take Cory Bernardi (please). He's one of many
who claims that the Safe Schools program is being
used to "indoctrinate children" into a "Marxist"
agenda of cultural relativism."

This follows repeated
attacks from the Australian Christian Lobby who claims
that this is part of a "political ideology" to "promote
queer sexuality." None of it is true. But their agenda
is working with some people as is obvious from this
discussion.

Leaving aside the irony as Stark tells us of the religious
right crying out about "indoctrination" in the classroom
while they happily champion taxpayer-funded religious
schools and a $245 million chaplaincy scheme. Lets look
at the facts:

The Safe Schools Coalition was not pushed upon an unwitting education system by "gay activists."

It was set up in Victoria in 2010 in response to requests
from Principals and teachers to help them with students
at their schools. This program has the backing of
Beyond Blue, the Australian Secondary Principal's Association,
the Australian Council of State School's Association and
the Australian Education Union to name just a few.

Hopefully the proposed Review will clarify a great deal.

Jayb, Your toilet is not a place where conflicting teenagers meet at break times. From memory many fights happened in school toilet blocks and they were not about gay issues either.

Having worked alongside youth on the street sex counselors teenagers refuse to be counseled by adults about their sex activity. We were there running a battle of the street music bands. Teenagers are less likely to accept persons of difference, it can only happen if parents set the example. Ask parents of different race / religions if boys visiting girls toilets is acceptable. It is not just the Christian right who abject to the agenda of the immoral left.

Josephus, I don't recall anyone suggesting boys should use girl's toilets, or vice versa?
Surely the provision of even just one unisex toilet set up at each school would be enough for the very few, if any, transgender kids that might attend each school?
It is not as though there are dozens of them at each school, as it is actually quite rare.

So I am well aware that all this fuss is caused by the hatred and ignorance re anyone who isn't heterosexual.

I would imagine though that if a school did happen to have one or two transgender kids, then the thought of a very feminine type boy dressed as a girl using the girls cubicle toilet is highly unlikely to cause much angst amongst intelligent girls! It is far more likely to upset their parents or completely unrelated bigoted adults.
I believe that these sort of transgender people aren't attracted to their own gender, so there wouldn't be any 'hanky-panky' going on anyway.

So, just admit it Josephus (and others) you can't bear the thought of anyone even acknowledging gay or transgender people of any kind, because that old outdated book called the bible tells you that it is an 'abomination'.
Well why not select your bag of stones and rush out to stone some of the local adulterers as well then?

Not to allow each gender to enter the others current toilets is gender discrimination.

Rehctub & Hasbeen:
Having scanned through hat lot, when the great crash comes and we are
forced back to say a 16th century economy how do you think all these
trendies with art degrees sprouting the sort of rubbish that triggered
it all off will survive ?
