Gender Selection
Last week I was listening to the Dennis Prager show. He mentioned that kindergartners in Sweden are being allowed to or manipulated to pick what bathroom they choose to use, based on their gender preference, rather than being instructed to use the bathroom matching their gender given them by nature.
I need to inventory why this is a very bad practice. First, the great majority of youngsters are likely, naturally heterosexual, so no good can come from confusing them about their gender orientation. The small minority of children that are gay, bisexual or transgender in orientation likely too are that way from birth, so again, no good comes from practicing gender selection in school. The majority of children are straight so we need them reared as they are clearly and distinctly, so they will act appropriately as adults to further the race, and run society as it should be run. We should remain sensitive and caring of the minority of children with alternative gender orientations, but not at the expense of the majority. It is outrageous that the majority would not be attacked, downgraded and misdirected from some disastrous, misguided motive to upgrade the minority by downgrading the majority. This is wrong way to treat each child as an individual, and for society as a whole.
Second, society is built upon strong family units. The family is comprised of a married mother and married father who procreate. This requires a mother that are womanly and nurturing. This requires a father that that is strong, protective and manly. We want our heterosexual girls unequivocably to be girls, with deep, abiding female gender orientation. We want our heterosexual boys undeniably to be and act masculine, brought up as boys with enduring, rugged qualities of leadership and command.
Third, I would like to introduce the concept that self-actualization has a gender component to it. For each girl and each boy to be all she/he can be, she/he must live authentically, building her/his life quest as an offshoot and consequence of her/his gender orientation. This orientation ordinarily will not be a boundary and obstacle. Rather it is a framework or ground from which the tree of her/his life will grow and develop. She/he can do most anything she/he wanted to do within this framework. For example, if a boy grown to manhood desires to work in a day care or be a nurse, he can do so. If a girl wants to be an auto mechanic or farmer, she can do so. The conflict between her career selection and her gender orientation will drive her to find new resolutions to the conflict which contribute to her happiness and society's advancement This can all be worked out without sacrificing her natural gender assignation.
