  2. New demonym just mutated: gender/queer.
    As in genderqueer or ... Sexqueer?
    I gotta be honest, I still adore the simpliciry of MOGAI, tbqh.
    Speakable, categorised, and (not completely, unfortunately, but mostly) inclusive.
    I know queer isn't something every member of mistreatment person interactions is comfortable with.
    There probably isn't "a" solution.
    I do like gender/queer for most cis hets and MOGAI for in-group comms.

  6. who are cis people? What is a cis man? What makes a man cis? What makes a man trans?

    (in case anyone wants to misrepresent any of this video or my posting of it -- no one is or should be disposable. Even if you don't like them.
    I might say otherwise in my own personal experiences with a handful of people who have behaved unconscionably towrd me, but that's neither my ideal nor what I think would bring a better world.
    Even less so on demographic grounds. Like, I understand if Person A abuses you, yeah you will be experiencing a range of emotions -- or shutdown, or cycle through them. But that's individual, not systemic. anyway.)

    Obvious one we should all be able to agree on tho: posturing based on attacking others is not "real" gender. It's just insecurity getting defensive at other people.

    The phrases 'identify' or 'identify as' wrongly imply that a deliberate choice was made by LGBTQ people to become LGBTQ.

    #SexualOrientation and our #Gender (#GenderIdentity) are #innate #characteristics, not #choices.

    It's time to move past this #HarmfulLanguage!

    We are who we say we are, and deserve to be #respected and #affirmed for having the #courage to be our #TrueSelves."

  8. Under an expanded #Florida rule, instruction on #GenderIdentity & #SexualOrientation is now restricted in most cases through 12th grade. The #FloridaDepartmentOfEducation had asked the #CollegeBoard & other providers of advanced, college-level courses to search their offerings for potential violations.

    But the College Board said that it would not modify its content, & that any course that did not address gender & sexual orientation should not be labeled “#AdvancedPlacement.”

  9. TITLE: DeSantis Kicks Off Feud Over College Board’s AP Psychology Class—Gender & Sexual Orientation Issues

    Thank you Dr. Pope:

    -- Forwarded --

    Politico released an article: “DeSantis kicks off feud over College Board’s AP psych class—Florida school districts had raised questions about an AP Psychology “learning objective” that covers gender and sexual orientation.”

    Excerpts:

    The College Board has rejected changing a high school Advanced Placement psychology course’s lessons on gender and sexual orientation, in a direct challenge to Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration that could reignite conflict between the education giant and the presidential hopeful.

    Florida school districts had raised questions about an AP Psychology “learning objective” that covers gender and sexual orientation, the College Board acknowledged Thursday, after the DeSantis administration expanded restrictions and regulations on classroom instruction in April.

    It is unclear whether Florida will now block the AP psychology course from classrooms, the College Board told educators.

    “Please know that we will not modify our courses to accommodate restrictions on teaching essential, college-level topics,” the board said Thursday in a letter... “Doing so would break the fundamental promise of AP: colleges wouldn’t broadly accept that course for credit and that course wouldn’t prepare students for success in the discipline.”

    The latest fracas between Florida and the College Board stems from a recently revamped state rule that expands legislation — panned as the “Don’t Say Gay” law by its critics — to restrict classroom instruction on sexual orientation or sexual identity to all K-12 students...

    <snip>

    On May 19, Florida’s education department pressed the College Board to review all of its courses to determine if any “need modification to ensure compliance” with Florida laws and regulations by this week. “Some courses may contain content or topics prohibited by State Board of Education rule and Florida law,” the state wrote to the board in a letter obtained by POLITICO.

    The College Board retorted that its psychology lessons should remain unchanged, signaling a shift in how it will address Florida’s legal demands following this year’s battle over its proposed African American Studies course.

    “The learning objective within AP Psychology that covers gender and sexual orientation has specifically been raised by some Florida districts relative to these recent regulations,” the board wrote to Florida officials. “That learning objective must remain a required topic, just as it has been in Florida since the launch of AP Psychology more than 30 years ago.”

    Cassie Palelis, press secretary for the Florida Department of Education, said Thursday that the College Board is responsible for ensuring that their submitted materials comply with Florida law.

    “We applaud the College Board for standing up to the state of Florida and its unconscionable demand to censor an educational curriculum and test that were designed by college faculty and experienced AP teachers who ensure that the course and exam reflect the state of the science and college-level expectations,” American Psychological Association CEO Arthur Evans Jr. said in a statement.

    Florida’s objections to the AP African American studies course angered many Black leaders nationwide...

    “We don’t know if the state of Florida will ban this course,” the College Board said of AP Psychology in a message to educators and schools. “To AP teachers in Florida, we are heartbroken by the possibility of Florida students being denied the opportunity to participate in this or any other AP course.”

    The College Board also had a message for all educators: “Please know we will not modify any of the 40 AP courses — from art to history to science — in response to regulations that would censor college-level standards for credit, placement, and career readiness,” the board said. “We are resolute in this position, in part, because of what we learned from our mistakes in the recent rollout of AP African American Studies.

    Florida is creating its own high-level courses and exams to rival the nationally recognized AP courses. State lawmakers earlier this year agreed to spend a combined $2.8 million developing a homegrown program and, in another challenge to the College Board, paved the way for students to use the Classic Learning Test, or CLT, as an alternative to the SAT and ACT.
