I don't get why conservatives talk about the gender binary as if it's p-rnography.

Time to paste in my standard response to "only 2 genders."

We have observed genotypes involving XXX, XXY, XYY and X0 (Turner syndrome) sex chromosomes. And we've observed human phenotypes with a range from no functioning sex organs to varying amounts of male & female sex organs on the same individual (these are often called intersex). Genetic mosaicism is where the X and Y chromosomes are expressed differently (from the most common expression) on different parts of the body (these phenotypes are also often described as intersex and sometimes hermaphrodite). Then there's androgen insensitivity syndrome. These are all observable biological phenomena that either God or Nature brings into the human family. It's sad that so many conservatives are so ignorant of biology. But the real debate is about the most complex sex organ of all, the human brain.

It's not that it's porngraphy, but that it's irrelevant shit that children don't need to know about. There is nothing useful or valuable they can gain from learning about such topics.

Also, it can lead to confusion in children. Children are impressionable and prone to phases because they are still developing. To that extent it is dangerous.

Conservatives have been demonstrated in psychology research to have a fairly low tolerance to ambiguity. Basically, they prefer things in black-and-white terms instead of trying to figure out how many shades of gray there are.

They prefer having certainty and clarity, even if it isn't reflected in reality. It's just the way their brains process things. It's why conservative people tend to be far more deeply religious. They drooled over Trump simply because he had no filter: he said exactly what was on his mind. They worship the Constitution because of how unchanging it is.

It's this staunch resistance to change and low tolerance for ambiguity that makes them reject the discussion of topics that challenge the established order. They like having clear boundaries and categorizing everything into neat little boxes. Anything that violates those parameters is seen as abhorrent. A threat to be eliminated. So by making it taboo or by restricting the discussion, they can basically contain the threat and prevent it from challenging their rigid worldview.

It's easy to control the conversation when you silence those with alternative views

So much of this is taken straight from the anti-gay stuff.

Teaching that LGBT people exist is just right and common sense. It's not 'promoting a trans/gay lifestyle'. Like if a teacher says that some men love other men, it does not mean that all the kids suddenly become gayified. Its the same with trans.

Its also important so that kids do not grow up afraid of who they are.

All these labels are just ridiculous ..
It's like aliens have invaded Earth

Also, young kids don't need to be taught anything about trans, or gender binary stuff. Let kids be kids. Some of what is being reported to being taught in schools is downright inappropriate

I remember when teachers taught things like math, English, History and so on. Now seems like they all want to push this gender stuff on them and tell their students about their partners and what they identify as and this or that.
When I was a kid, the only thing i knew about my teachers were their names.
It aint up to teachers to push their beliefs and gender views onto students

because it's an idea and ideas have power.

How many people would believe in any religion if they weren't given the real world examples. Few are true believers and I feel that way about most things. Seekers will seek. Followers only do so when there are no answers given. And I have poisoned everyone's mind who has read this.

When people look at you like you have three heads, it's because they know there are only two genders.

Honestly, it is because if something annoys someone else they should get thicker skin and toughen up. But if something annoys them or is a moral outrage. It has to be a big issue so that they can look like warriors fighting for a cause and not a bunch of whiney complaining cowards.
