I am at least two of those things and I won't lose a second of sleep over being told to "repent" by someone on Instagram.
That is a well-deserved criticism. This whole idea of raising children "without gender" needs to be nipped in the bud. If an adult wants to change his or her gender on his official documents, or have his or her gender written down as "none" or "other", that is another discussion - but children are born either male or female, and the state shouldn't indulge asshole parents who deny that basic reality.
It's not the state's business to enforce gender identity on anybody. It harms nobody at all to not specify a gender on a birth certificate.
A birth certificate that reads either "male" or "female" does not enforce gender identity on the subject of said certificate.
It may not harm anybody to have the gender left blank on the birth certificate, but nobody is going to convince me that raising a child as "genderless" (which is the only reason to suppress that information) doesn't seriously affect the mental health of the child - and all for what? The off chance that later on the gender identity will not match the biological sex?
I am all for questioning gender roles and stereotypes, like buying dolls and toy ovens for girls and toy cars and guns for boys, but pretending that gender is something random that may or may not match sex is just ridiculous.

You admit it hurts nobody... but you want to enforce your will on other people 🤷 |

Billy has never been the brightest. Will be interesting to see the stance taken by the RFU and Saracens. I'm not surprised to see his brother Mako keeping quiet. |

I think one of the problems with religion is that it teaches that humans were created. This really makes many of the religious completely indebted to this God entity. Although the good thing is that more and more people are not taking that Adam & Eve story literally nowadays. Many religious people have also started seeing evolution as the correct theory/fact.

Rugby Australia have now sacked his ass.
National Rugby League in Australia have also said he isn't welcome back there as he fails their inclusivity test.

They've finally sacked him: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/48306223Israel Folau's contract has been terminated by Rugby Australia after he said "hell awaits" gay people in a social media post. The full-back, 30, was sacked in April but requested a hearing, which was heard by a three-person panel. The panel found him guilty of a "high level breach" of RA's player code of conduct and upheld the dismissal. Folau, who had a RA deal until 2022, has 72 hours to appeal against the ruling and is considering his options. An appeal would mean a second code of conduct hearing with the same evidence but a new panel, while he could also try to take his case to Australia's Supreme Court. The fundamentalist Christian posted a banner on his Instagram account in April that read: "Drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolators - Hell awaits you." |
