After reading this text, the reader will kind out concepts that neither philosophers nor... 13-year-olds dreamed of before the age of smartphones. If she wants to go to field school, just give the kid this equipment. Then, in the absence of access to the phone, rationalizing this with a "right to privacy", do not interfere and do not be curious in what Internet brave Our branch is here. According to Copernicus-Gresham's law, the bad app displaces the better. From then on, half of the teenage life will depend on epileptic states of deactivation and micromovement of hands. Yeah, it's TikTok. Within a year and a half there will be a plexus of dysphoria, depression and identity changes, which will impose on the normative crisis of being a teenager – you can place bets. With a full package of subculture activities, specified as bold telling the household “the fact about themselves”. LGBT? Let's decision on to a higher level of insight. Or rather... chaos.
The sex Unicorn – a purple creature with a DNA chain braid at the tallness of the crotch and hearts on the chest is the motif of an educational poster created by the organization TSER. Its content, suspended in educational facilities, is designed to aid find its way into a complex sex world. We see 5 categories. The first, basic – for the ignorant biological – is in fact imposed (this alleged AFAB or AMAB – from English assigned at birth Female or Male). But here's the option. none/intersex. The next axes from the poster are: identity (male/female/or other) talking about who I feel. Completely different will be what I show with my expression (male/female/or other). The next axis concerns the train being felt: men, women or... others. Separately within the sexual, sensual train (I like them, they give me a boost.) and emotional attraction (I'm falling in love).
Category other It doesn't explain anything, it lets you confuse. The sex Unicorn a bit for this mixing serves. The plush is the key to the crazy planet of gender-related deconstruction. Breaking down sexual orientation (train direction) and identity is simply a cliché to which boomers mention (i.e. creeps to which the author most likely belongs, and the reader). Breaking the identity into expression and well-being and the train into separate sexual and emotional, including erstwhile introducing these black "other" category holes is only post-modern! In this way – with very rough categories – we will get a immense amount of options. Let's look at what comes out of this black box device to produce "sexual terms".
There's a method to this madness
When studying the subject, I doubted that the website I was utilizing was not a form of fun for creative net users. Surely, the reader has already encountered the latest versions of the LGBT+ signposting world, more complicated than the maritime signalling system. If he hasn't seen it, it's worth getting acquainted with it, especially as the colours of the band, most of them, have become the signal code of the largest youth subculture in modern Poland (children signify themselves, for example, on laces or bracelets). Each fresh sexual option must get its symbols and name, and besides get a category referring to 1 of the “parasols”. So we have categories (parasols) more spacious and small, and due to the relationality of sexuality (Someone to someone) the number of categories is inactive multiplying!
Umbrella one: LGBTQIA+. That's the community of people that we're going to put into insignificant categories. People who feel different than they do in a metric. Those who feel a non-heterosexual train. 1 can connect. Complications already appear at the outset due to the multitude of optional self-determinations that do not exclude You and me.
You do not request to delegate yourself to 1 of the 2 categories (university), but you can (binarity). You can have a liquid variable identity (genderfluid) or a coherent identity (cisgender), or a reverse to the biological sex (transgender). You can feel any kind of gender... a small (demisexuality). But let us not feel obligated, there will besides be a category for people who have different kinds of feelings. There is simply a category for you if at the same time you are of any sex and you are not of this gender, and even sometimes you feel that you do not have any (trigender). If you feel that this is besides much for you, you can refuse to fit in. Xenic means that your category goes beyond the human conceited sex, may be closer to feeling like a plant or an animal (it's most likely celebrated for Matt Walsh's movie What is the woman Mr/i-wolk). You can't keep up, usage the incorrect pronoun – you're misgendering. So much for identity.
Now let's bend over the sex train terms. Pansexuality or omnisexuality are concepts from the border of cabaret and – attention! – very eagerly chosen by children on the threshold of puberty (who feel obliged by net pop culture to find themselves and yet do not feel peculiar preferences due to age and the ongoing latency period, i.e. the silence of the train). Whatever you do about gender, orientation, expression – I am attracted to... all options within the above. And even more: animals, plants, objects... it's not a joke! An interview with you has appeared in “Political Criticism” with a commendable sex with moss and tree roots (also for political reasons, as a form of rebellion against the oppression of the patriarchate).
You've done it yet?
The young generation, however, is taught that all state of reasoning and feeling on sex issues proves something. In love, desire, sexual behaviour – that would be besides easy. This was broken down into senses and emotions and individual tastes. If you request a sexual relation with the individual you love, you're... demisexual. You only feel something for the individual who first let you know that she has feelings for you – you are recipromatic; recipsexuality refers to sensual desire on the same principle. You are impressed by your intellect – you are sapiosexual. possibly romance and emotion are not applicable to you – it is aroace.
Certainly there will besides be names for any mix in time and space – I find it hard to keep up. So why don't we go into a fascinating reading together, here's a example from LGBT fandom wiki: Some aroace may experience another forms of attraction that are neither romanticist nor sexual, specified as queerplatonic, alternate or sensual train. If they feel that the attraction is crucial adequate to warrant a place alongside their orientation aro, they can identify as oriented or angular.
Against the background of this madness, intersex persons, i.e. having inherent characteristics of 2 sexes, look rather ordinary. erstwhile talking about sex change, for decades specified situations were referred to (when a biological mistake in the structure of the body is medically visible). Unfortunately, this se ne vrati.
You're a scientist and you're so mean.
There is simply a layer of pornographic sexualisation on this conceptual grid, of course, intellectualized by fresh terms: boring and stiffs have alleged vanilla sex (i.e. based on an emotional relationship, in a unchangeable marriage, not exceeding certain limits – for example, it concerns only the same 2 people) and people "genuine and open" – kink sex, or typically perverse, unsaturated, constantly shifting any possible border for sport. This is how it teaches you to think about the sexuality of the “cool world”.
As the proverb says, there are situations where you gotta laughter to avoid crying. In addition, anyone who has the good of young people must feel quite a few anger toward the phenomenon of specified confusion. quite a few kids are actually following this crap, trying to find the mention points for themselves.
Age of increasing up is mostly little or greater chaos in interior feelings. A stable, friendly environment to test reality and prove itself is essential. Meanwhile, through the activities of various specialists, chaos meets chaos.
An effort to inoculate reasoning is characteristic: Find the fact About You, You're it.. But who exactly? An unstable postmodern sex conglomerate?
Let's not let our kids believe that. Very much depends on what alternate communicative about sexuality they will get and whether it will convincingly explain why in their generation the popularity of the mess about gender.
