Packaging rejection of diversity into ostensible concern for children is an old trick. But the origin is the fear of an alleged trans power.

Sex Education Illustration: Are Dildos Really a Problem?

Every third German thinks it is certain, or at least likely, that secret powers control the world.

According to the new survey by Infratest dimap, respondents with higher educational qualifications are less likely to believe in secret powers.

But you shouldn't think that you are armed against such ideas with some kind of educational qualification or title, nope, you can also hold a professorship and still write in the "FAZ" that "the LGBTQ movement" is now the pedagogy at daycare centers and schools dominate and spread a "transgender propaganda" which politicians do not dare to contradict.

Yeah yeah

In the "FAZ" last Thursday, Bernd Ahrbeck, educational scientist and professor for psychoanalytic pedagogy, and Marion Felder, educational scientist and professor for inclusion and rehabilitation, wrote a text with the title: "The classic family becomes an exception".

The title was changed online after various people commented that this was not true.

The new title is now: "The topic of gender identity overwhelms children", which is just as wrong - technical term: projection - because, in my experience, children can deal with the diversity of identities quite well, often much more relaxed and unprejudiced than adults.

Many children have absolutely no problem with playing mother-mother-child instead of mother-father-child.

The problem is adults who explain in the "FAZ": "Heterosexuality and the classic family are now being pushed into a marginal position. They are almost considered to be something exotic that needs special legitimacy."

That may apply to darkrooms - but for the rest of the world?

Born in 1986, was born in Poland and grew up in Berlin.

She studied philosophy and social sciences and has been working as a freelance writer since 2009.

Her feminist bestseller "Unterrum frei" was published in 2016 by Rowohlt Verlag.

In 2018 "The Last Days of Patriarchy" followed, a collection of columns from SPIEGEL ONLINE and "taz".

It is an extremely old but common trick to disguise one's rejection of anything queer as worrying about children who ostensibly need to be protected because they cannot stand the fact that there are people who are gay or bisexual or trans.

Often the myth of "early sexualization" is used: Children are thus underhandedly tricked into dealing with queer identities through games or children's books.

So-called media suitcases with picture books or objects (e.g. plush toys) become Pandora's sexual box from which all of the gay mischief flows.

The "FAZ" text by Ahrbeck and Felder, for example, names fourteen-year-olds who are supposed to deal with "objects such as dildos, vaginal balls, sexual enhancers, handcuffs, erotic stories, nudes, lacquer / latex or leather" - "Children are exposed to topics and content as a result that are inadequate for their age, that overwhelm, irritate and alienate them ".

Fourteen-year-olds who are overwhelmed by nudes are of course theoretically conceivable, but more likely in the year 10,000 BC than today.

You could laugh about it, but the problem is that there are firstly the conservative media (quote "Bild": "Senate distributes controversial sex brochure to daycare centers") or right-wing extremist parties who like to turn any educational approach that promotes diversity into a scandal, and secondly these The type of queer-hostile argument found on fertile ground with some parents, especially when it is pretended that there is a huge threat on the march that they have just not heard about.

Ahrbeck and Felder write in the "FAZ" for example: "It has long ceased to be a question of sexual minorities and different ways of life being respected and protected from devaluation."

That was a consensus anyway.

No, the goal is: "Children and young people should be pushed into a certain ideological position through 'gender-sensitive' pedagogy."

The heterosexual "way of life" is "falling into disrepute".

This is of course an idea that you can linger a little longer on.

First of all, in all of human history heterosexuality has never fallen into disrepute on a large scale.

What is interesting, however, is the assumption that the mere knowledge of queer sexuality or transgendering among children lays everything that was previously hetero and cis (the opposite of trans) to rubble and ashes.

As if children were incited by a malicious Ficki-Ficki early childhood education program to reject heterosexuals and also beg their parents for sex surgery directly after daycare or school.

It's not that hard to imagine that criticism of queer content for children is also fueled by the envy that there are people who don't stick to the mother-father-child family concept or who have the courage to identify themselves as to come out trans.

One of the cornerstones of patriarchy is to see women and men as clearly and physically distinct beings who are supposed to perform different tasks.

Those who want to conform to the classic heterosexual and cis-sex image usually spend a lot of energy to comply with this idea: women remove their leg and facial hair, men suppress their softness, women try not to be “too masculine” and men not to try “too feminine "to occur.

And then queer people come and don't follow the rules.

Of course, some get angry and upset when these rule breaks, which they would not allow themselves, then also appear in kindergartens and schools.

It's logical that there are people who think: Oh man, they have their gay elves and dick suitcases and I have to go back to my mother-in-law.

Logical, but also dangerous.

If you want to read what it means to come out as trans in Germany today, you can find out more in Felicia Ewert's book "Trans. Frau. Sein" or in Linus Giese's recently published book "Ich bin Linus. How I became a man, I've always been ".

If you haven't dealt with the topic so far, but are generally an empathic person, you will either be horrified and angry, or just start crying right away, I promise.

Because it is still the case that there is no secret queer world power, but on the contrary, it is about oppressed minorities who often experience violence.

The alleged "LGBT" or "gay lobby" is not only being fought in Germany: "LGBT-free zones" are being created in Poland, the Foreign Minister calls the "LGBT ideology" a "civilization of death" in which Ukraine became Only this weekend a CSD event was attacked by right-wing activists, in Vienna a rainbow flag was torn up on the stage of a "lateral thinking" demo, amid loud cheers, supposedly to ward off "child molesters".

Latest study for Germany: 30 percent of homosexuals and over 40 percent of transgender people are discriminated against in their working life.

Anyone who comes out as trans and wants to be recognized still has to go an incredibly strenuous and long journey through advice centers, reports, offices and therapy sessions.

Question to the “concerned”: If the “LGBTQ lobby” is so powerful, why hasn't it done away with this discrimination yet?
