Students will no longer be taught that gender is on a spectrum



reland is routinely cited as a beacon of best practice on all matters
transgender. Over the water, self-identification of legal gender was introduced
in 2015. The Scottish Government — when pursuing their own ill-fated
Gender Recognition Reform Bill — described it as a “well established system”.
Now it seems the Irish are having second thoughts.

The context this time is not women’s rights — Limerick women’s prison still
houses two trans women serving time for sexual offences — but schools. The
impact of transgender ideology on children is perhaps even more worrying
than the effect on women. Youngsters have been taught all sorts of nonsense
about gender; there was even a BBC programme aimed at 9- to 12-year
olds that asserted that there “are over 100 genders”.

Now it seems that the Irish National Council for Curriculum and Assessment
has dropped a proposal to help junior pupils “appreciate that sexual
orientation, gender identity and gender expression are core parts of human
identity and that each is experienced along a spectrum”. Following objections
from parents, the curriculum will no longer teach that gender identity and
expression are on a spectrum.

Governments and administrations need to dump the ideology and promote
the truth — in schools and elsewhere. Everyone is different, and we can
celebrate that without abandoning the reality that there are but two sexes.
