It's so obvious that the whole gender extremism ideology will create MORE barriers for women (and men) of color in terms of scholarships, educational and employment opportunities-- it will make TIMs who are white, born male and likely already privileged go ahead of them in terms of consideration when it comes to affirmative action. I'm a white person, and I recognize this as huge potential problem.

The gender extremists/CRT attacks on religion are also dubious, as many missionary groups help fund and support immigrants from countries including Africa and South America to the US. They don't always advertise that they do this, but they definitely do.

Consider how many minority children will be brainwashed by this cult, rendering them sterile for life. Gender ideology will become a form of eugenics in itself.

I recall one twitter comment by a black man stating "emasculation is something that happens to men in prison". He was relentlessly attacked by TIMs of course, but he was right. Emasculation in the form of castration and sexual slavery has historically been something that happens to men and boys who are conquered by other nations-- look up Köçek boys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köçek. Hopefully more men wake up and realize that their sons are being brainwashed into castrating themselves.

I've also read in many places that many of the corporate interests that are pushing CRT and gender extremism are also eyeing up colonizing Africa and South America under the guise of "environmentalism". They see a potential payday in exploiting the natural resources of nations they deem "underdeveloped" and their whole guise of pretending to care about racism is just a ruse to win over people. I think I read about it on wrongkindofgreen.org.

For my job of many years, I had to pay attention to what was going on globally. As a result, I will consider any and all "conspiracy theories" (after closely examining them, of course) because, what I found is that the truth behind a lot of what appears innocent and good sometimes actually masks sinister motives and players.

Take LGBTQ+ "rights" - rights for all are something that almost everyone can get behind, but the gender movement has hijacked LGB in order to destroy free speech, biology, women's/gay/children/parents rights, and sanity in general - GLOBALLY.

Well, honestly, even with the conspiracy theories surrounding environmentalism-- they make sense. Corporate interests don't push ideologies that won't ultimately enrich them. Corporate interests won't pour funds into education campaigns in 3rd world countries unless they see a potential profit for themselves down the line-- in terms of cheaper employees, for example. Corporate interests will create flowery-sounding campaigns filled with positive woke lingo to hide the fact they want to find any way to slash wages that they possibly can.

Tons of these tech companies and wealthy STEMlord billionaires, for example, have pages where they talk about how they want to "promote women in STEM, promote women's economic opportunities", meanwhile, these same companies are funding the TRA agenda HARD along with the pro-sex-work ideology, transitioning children/eradicating mother's rights ideology, pro-men's-sex-rights ideology. What they say and what they mean are two completely different things. There was once a time where philanthropists poured money into their pet projects "just because", but I don't feel that's the case anymore. Profit is always the motive.

LOL I can't stand Kendi or Critical Race Theory. It'll be interesting to watch the fallout. I suspect transactivists will ignore or minimize his comments as it would expose a massive ideological rift in Social Justice theories. Plus, Kendi is black and a man.

As I said in another post, even the anti-Woke, including people pushing back on Kendi's work on Critical Race Theory, are twisting themselves into knots trying to interpret Kendi's words in ways that would make Kendi not sound "transphobic."

So, push back against Critical Race Theory is anti-Woke, but don't you anti-Wokers DARE reject genderism. Because biological sex is a spectrum and race is not. Or something like that.

Fucking Flat-Earthers all around.

What's bizarre is that one could argue that race is a "spectrum", at least on the DNA level. Even then, with race and experiencing racism, one's culture/appearance overrides wherever you technically fall on that "spectrum".

I'm mixed-race (or mixed-ethnicity, or whatever the term is now). One of my parents had a family that had a lot of kids; one kid had black hair, brown eyes and brown skin and another had very pale, freckled, white skin, blue eyes and light red hair. Yet they were full siblings.

I'm sure that there are many families, especially in the US, that have similar color ranges, which makes it all the more ridiculous when these Wokesters bang on about how biological sex is a spectrum and, in any case, can be appropriated, but race is not a spectrum and GOD FORBID you appropriate another race.

The Wokesters just dig their own grave with this contradictory stuff about race and sex that anyone with eyes can see is untrue.

Yes. I remember going to my son's kindergarten orientation years ago, and noticing that the majority of the class was mixed-race. It's very common nowadays in many parts of the country, so much that no one takes a second glance. Granted, we lived close to the first US city to legalize interracial marriage.

I also remember the 23andme sub on reddit, and nearly everyone was "mixed race" to some extent regardless of what they looked like.

Even within a "race" of people, there is always a huge spectrum in terms of appearance... I have blond/blue eyed and brown haired/brown eyed in my immediate family. Both of my parents had light eyes, too, hazel green and hazel blue... which kind of defies the whole dominant/recessive gene thing. My brother with dark eyes/dark hair, married to a woman with similar coloring (her hair is almost black, her eyes as well), and they have one kid who's blond/blue eyed, the other is brown/brown.

I don't know how CRT "folx" deal with that kind of phenomenon. Unless completely fracturing families is part of their goal.

Not to get too off the GC topic of this sub (although I do feel that CRT and Queer Theory are both being used to fracture society) but when CRT tells me to see race it kind of offends me, because my family, from immediate to extended, runs the color spectrum, and why the fuck should I see members of my own family as an other because we have different skin colors?
