It's not a natural evolution of the language when people are forced, out of fear of repercussions, to employ a set of words uncommon to the lexicon. Language evolution occurs naturally, as words gain popularity. You can't force/legislate it and call that 'evolution of language.'
Like Women's Right to Vote?
Like Civil Rights?
Like the Disability Act?
Like the Fair Housing Act?
It is pathetic that people have to be forced to provide Equal Treatment of a minority.
Maybe they could just volunteer out of the kindness of their heart.
Are you a broken record? You posted the exact same list as another reply to a different question.
In this case, your list is meaningless as a response to what I posted about 'evolution of language.' Try some different words? That actually apply to what I posted?
I don't believe I've mentioned Natural Evolution. That's someone else's shtick.
I stated/implied Equality has to be forced. As history proves.
Yes you did, and I already quoted for you once. Here it is again:
If people would just accept its an evolution of language and try to learn it for evolving themselves
Where did I state Natural Evolution?
Do you dispute that you called forcing people to use words 'evolution of language?' You can split hairs all you want to. I put the word 'natural' in myself as an adjective to emphasize that evolution occurs naturally. It is not forced. Get it?
I swear your debate skills are like my 5 year old niece.

If you want to call it Forced Evolution, feel free.
Is it possible you can converse without attempts at insult?
You do realize the need to constantly attempt to "put people down" shows insecurity and lack of self worth.

OK
21 pages later, you still haven't justified the reduction of education levels created by this agenda.
Education is playing 2nd Fiddle to political insurrection.

Still avoiding the actual topic like the plague I see.
And still reading minds too.
How do you justify the fact that a child must somehow declare who is "trusted" to oversee their future?
The program states parents have limited input.
Again, they are downplaying the education and family value process.

True, everyone here has a viewpoint based on anecdotal experiences. I dont think I'll need much use of the terms because 'male' and 'female' work fine as-is.
This is a place for discussion and debate, I'm merely doing just that.
I think its silly to create gender terms when there is just two sexes, either you realize that or not, making up terms for every shade of a person's phase in life is nit picking.
I'm here to discuss, not just agree with you and spout off about how ignorant this or another group is for not toting the same ideology.
I dont have to agree, and you dont either.
As long as the thread is open, you'll have opposing views.

I do feel like I could have saved time by Copy and Pasting my own posts, but people keep asking the same questions, and glazing over the answers just to insert their own straw-man.
Personally my stance is simple and neatly defined. I'm also amazed with repetition of it.
Sometimes people question you over, and over and over in hopes of winning by attrition. Some by real exchange.
And some just believe it wrong or right. I hope we are all of this latter group

Why do some say you're avoiding the question when you don't see a problem?
You see a problem. I don't.
But, you keep wanting to badger me to see a problem. And because I don't see a problem I'm avoiding answering the question.
This happens all the time.

It only happens with those who throw on blinders and refuse to consider the bigger picture because it pops the little bubble they've surrounded themselves in.

The guidelines are dangerously assuming each and every TG Student wants to be labeled.
The public labeling and categorizing would be necessary so all people can accurately identify a TG Student.
Many TGs might not agree to the scrutiny.
