Why is scientific denialism of biological sex so rampant in society currently?
Unfortunately, communists and Marxists have infiltrated and captured our universities, pushing communist and postmodern theory at every opportunity to create a new generation who sees the world through a Marxist, postmodern lens. (See @christopherrufo's book America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything)
This results in a cohort of people who exclusively understand the world through an ideological framework of economic determinism and social constructivism born of power relationships. This ideological framework is essentially "blank slatism" that denies the reality of human biology and human nature in social and political dynamics, positing that human beings are entirely a product of their material economic conditions. Furthermore, they have been taught that having this ideological interpretation of the world is not enough – there is a moral imperative act on their ideology wherever it perceives injustice and be activists for change in society. As Marx said in 1845, “philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.”
Therefore, the pro-regressive left (as I like to call them) believes scientific biological concepts like sex are merely social constructs, produced by those holding economic power for their own self-sustaining ends. They fallaciously believe scientific facts supported by endless evidence can be completely "deconstructed" and undermined in a manner that other non-scientific cultural concepts are within academia. And finally (and most importantly to understand the zealotry) the pro-regressive left denies the reality of scientific biology because in their Marxist ideology it is a morally virtuous thing to do. Scientific knowledge is interpreted as an evil tool of capitalist oppression instead of objective fact that should form the basis of our social and economic theories (like capitalism).
Then there was a Blitzkrieg of gender ideology pushed through society under the heading of DEI during the “great awokening” as these Marxist activists left university and pursued careers giving them real institutional power to wield over society. They have even managed to codify biological denialism in law through the West by making "gender identity" a legally protected characteristic. DEI policies enable scientific biology to be denied by gender ideology and this denial rigorously enforced in workplaces, education settings, and government bodies. Anyone who stands up for scientific realism can be fired or bullied from their positions and face social ostracization, so we are now in a position where there is a chilling effect around those who would defend biological reality.
Lastly, there are many well meaning people in the world that have busy lives and just want a peaceful and happy society. They may have an instinct that gender ideology claims don't add up, but they don't have time to get into the weeds of these issues and debunk all the anti-scientific misinformation. So when gender ideology propaganda tells them to "be kind' and play along otherwise trans kids will commit suicide, they just acquiesce and play along, partly because they have other priorities, party because they do want to be kind, perhaps party even to virtue signal among the wealthy elites with luxury beliefs, and partly to avoid negative social consequences in the gender ideology paradigm that has infiltrated society.
This is where we are.
Now its time to deconstruct the social construct of gender ideology with science and reason.
@DrewPavlou The tricky part isn’t avoiding suicide because there are beautiful woman in the West - the tricky part is finding a beautiful woman who isn’t actively promoting the West commit suicide.
When you need emergency surgery do you want the absolute best surgeon that was available to hire in terms of qualifications and experience, or the one that had the bare minimum requirements?
So too do business owners want the best they can find to help their business succeed, not the bare minimum with the right identity markets.
They know the screening method isn't a genital exam, so to avoid overtly lying while still attempting to conjure such imagery in an ignorant voter's mind, they call it an "invasive gender check exam."
In reality it's just a cheek swab. It's less invasive than a COVID test.
What does CTV News define as "far right"? People who want a sensible evidence based immigration policy?
Do you call Australia's current leftist Labor Party "Far Right" because they turn back or detain illegal immigrants, who attempt to reach Australia in boats, in offshore detention centers and they will be held their indefinitely, never to be settled in Australia?
Isn't this in fact a harsher immigration policy than Trump's immigration policy which is termed "far right" by you - but you give Aus's Labor Party a free pass? Hrmm I wonder why the selective application of the smear....
@doctorspin4@globalnews Oh don't worry, I am VERY well acquainted with Canadians - just consider me a dual citizen.
Canadians have no national identity other than "We are not America! What do we stand for? Not being America - though they guard us while we sleep!"
Pathetic.
AM I A DEI HIRE?
What a terrible question to have hanging over someone’s career simply because of the colour of their skin.
Imagine spending years studying, working hard, making sacrifices and earning your qualifications, only to have someone quietly wonder whether you got the job because of your abilities, or you are another DEI hire?”
Think about how insulting that is. Years of hard work and achievement reduced to race. And here’s the cruel irony: policies intended to empower minorities can sometimes leave them having to defend the very success they worked so hard to achieve.
Let’s be clear. Racism and discrimination exist everywhere you go in the world. And for sure, civilized societies must confront them. And I believe many people who support DEI genuinely want to create a fairer society. But good intentions don’t always produce good outcomes, and we should be willing to question whether our approach is helping or hurting.
I want an Alberta where every child can grow up believing something simple: If I work hard, develop my abilities and earn my qualifications, I will have a fair opportunity to succeed.
Not because someone owes me a position. Not because an institution needs someone who looks like me. And certainly not because my background should define what others expect of me. But because I have something valuable to contribute.
That’s what true inclusion should mean. Creating a fair opportunity for people to enter the room, contribute, succeed and be respected without anyone questioning why they’re there.
That is why I wholeheartedly welcome Premier Danielle Smith’s government decision to introduce legislation aimed at putting merit and qualifications at the centre of public-sector hiring. Credit where credit is due!
The Premier is bringing an important debate about merit, fairness and individual dignity into the open.
We should NOT lower the bar but definitely remove the barriers. That’s exactly what this legislation is going to fix.
DEI is nothing but replace discrimination with another form of unfairness. And don’t reduce anyone’s achievements to their race.
Your skin colour is part of who you are. It should never be the explanation for what you’ve achieved.
That’s the Alberta I believe in.
And that’s why I support Premier Danielle Smith’s proposed public-sector hiring reforms. I admire her courage in tackling an issue that too often gets buried under political correctness and fear of controversy. Whether people agree with every detail or not, this is a debate worth having.
Leadership sometimes means having the courage to challenge conventional thinking, ask uncomfortable questions and stand up for what you believe is right, even when it isn’t politically convenient.
That’s the kind of courage I respect in Premier Smith. And that’s why I support her.
@DrewPavlou The thing that irritates me about these degenerates is that they prove Christian Nationalists right with their "without God and Christian Values society will regress to degenerate debauchery" rhetoric.
@SamLenSports@globalnews And the leftists in Canada just gaslight us and say "there isn't preferential hiring in Canada on the basis of race, sex, disability, sexuality, etc. That isn't a thing."
Ok, then you won't mind if we ban it? Great!
@tanya_plibersek It is also a fact that a country like Aus, which is a tiny contributor of CO2 emissions in the global scale of things, is powerless to make any significant or meaningful change to climate climate unilaterally, no matter how severe our economic sacrifices.
@Q2Quokka@DrewPavlou Imagine getting literally tens of billions of dollars is public healthcare funding and still being a pack of mentally invalid conspiracy tards.
"Do you prefer capitalism or communism?"
"Communism."
"Then why do you need to come to a capitalist society to study? Your actions contradict your words."
But, to be fair to these Chinese students, they know if they say anything negative about the CCP publicly then their family members back home will start disappearing one by one... And the CCP has enforcers in Aus, and anywhere else there are international students, to remind them of that fact.
Leftists be like: “They're using the guy beheading your brother in the street to distract you from your real enemy: Jeff Bezos delivering medicine to your front door overnight.”
@cremieuxrecueil It’s so sad once women have babies the most popular subreddit is a smart device that will rock and console their child, so they don’t have to, instead of a topic centered on how to best care for the bday, like breastfeeding or developmental milestones….
