Let's be real
People complaining about gender and LGBTQA+ are the same ones who took "Physical Science" in high school because the real science class, "Biology" was going to be too hard.

Overlooking the alphabet-soup for a moment, is "physical science" an odd name for Physics, or does it mean something else?
If Physics, are you saying Physics is taught to a far lower level of difficulty than Biology?
BTW, I do see the irony in using the internet to say these people think Physics is not "real science" ! :-)
While turning to the many-letters-plus, why would the complainants link their sexual orientation to their academic ability? There is no such link in reality, so their complaints mystify me.
(I have just come from a PM conversation here with an American resident who explained to me that US schools teach maths in a curiously fractured way, to quite low levels. Consequently students advancing to higher education think some important topics including calculus are only for exceptionally bright ones. He studied electricity and electronics, which are of course highly mathematical, at college, but I don't know to what depth.)

@FoxyGoddess Oh,, I am sorry if I offended you. That was certainly not intended. I am slightly bi anyway.
It's not the people I satirise but this business of society cataloguing everyone as if items in a warehouse. We are all just.. people, surely.
Thankyou for explaining the academic point. I think others count geology, astronomy and biology as the "natural sciences". I'm a bit puzzled though, how or why sciences other than biology (including both zoology and botany) are somehow rated differently from those. Aren't all the sciences of equal value or academic level?

@ArishMell Physical and Nature sciences are a very brief summary of many sciences, and is considered the bare minimum of educational requirments. Science specific classes are considered higher level because they provide a more comprehensive view of a single section of a scientific study.

@FoxyGoddess I see. Thankyou.
I've tried comparing and contrasting that with my own school science education, in 1960s England.
I was in a "stream" of 3 from 6 forms in each year, which had a "General Science" syllabus. This covered Physics, Chemistry and Biology but not to great depth. The other 3 forms, the brighter set called the "Latin Stream" because they learnt Latin as well as the French we all studied, followed those three sciences separately and to more detail.
Had I wanted, and had the ability, to go to University I would have spent two years studying just three chosen subjects ( not necessarily any science) in considerable depth with the aim of passing "Advanced Level" examinations as University entry qualifications.
The system has been changed considerably since my school days, but the A-Level aspect continues.

I took biology I and II and I'm a crossdressing bisexual. The LGBTQ movement has a sexual predator problem that is overlooked and dismissed just because they don't want to concede any ground to the right wing. And when you're so ideologically possessed that you refuse to address real issues then you may as well be condoning it.

@FoxyGoddess There's only a few of us here and I wouldn't be so sure that the others did understand because you've just got someone essentially saying they agree and the other used the word too meaning they are bringing up a secondary point. Nobody really told you anything in certain terms. Editing the post would be better because not everyone is going to see our conversation that sees this post.

@Jackaloftheazuresand It sounds like you just want to be argumentative, so I am ending the conversation with you now. No need to reply to this.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
@FoxyGoddess I thought I've been quite reasonable. If you want to assign a motive to me then I will do the same now. Maybe you just don't like being held accountable and correcting your mistakes in their entirety.

@TinyViolins Most of them lose their minds when presented with the research of a lesbian feminist in the 80's that shows gender is only a social construct and was the start of public gender affiliation, allowing people to be gender fluid.
@TinyViolins you've got them to actually try? When I ask that, they usually ignore my question and just keep spewing why blurring the lines is wrong instead of defining the line.
