The transgender ideology has garnered significant attention and debate in recent years, with some groups advocating for a more inclusive understanding of gender, while others argue that the movement is rooted in unscientific claims.
However, the teaching of multiple gender identities in schools, based on unscientific claims, raises concerns about the potential negative consequences for young children.
As critical thinkers, it is crucial to examine the science behind the concept of gender, explore the claims of more than two genders, and discuss the potential consequences of teaching these ideas to young children. In this article, we will delve into these topics and provide a scientific perspective on the current transgender ideology and the risks involved.

The Science of Gender: A Complex Tapestry
Traditionally, gender has been understood as binary, with individuals classified as either male or female based on their biological sex. Why? Because it’s simply a matter of fact.
Biological sex is determined by an individual’s chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive organs.
While it is true that there are extremely rare exceptions of genetic variations such as XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), XYY, or XO (Turner syndrome), 99.9% of people can be categorized as male or female based on their chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males).
The idea of more than two genders and even up to 100+ genders in pseudoscience and stems from various questionable cultural and social perspectives on gender roles and identities.
While it is essential to recognize and respect diverse viewpoints, it is also crucial to differentiate fact from fiction.
The Medicalization of Childhood Gender Nonconformity
Teaching the concept of multiple genders in schools can have extremely negative consequences. Teaching children unscientific claims about gender will lead to confusion and misinformation among impressionable young minds.
One potential consequence of teaching multiple genders in schools is the medicalization of childhood gender nonconformity.
Some experts argue that encouraging children to question their gender at a young age could result in unnecessary medical interventions such as hormone treatments or surgeries.
These medical procedures are tantamount to child abuse and carry significant risks and should never be considered for a child.
Children’s brains are still developing, and their understanding of complex concepts such as gender is limited. Encouraging them to question their gender may lead to confusion and distress, and the subsequent medicalization of their experiences may have long-term physical and psychological consequences.
