While he considers his assertions lead to his conclusion, he engages in abject sophistry to get there.

We humans all have to confront our physical reality at birth.

We are male, female, and very occasionally intersex. This is what scientific biology establishes beyond any argument.

Our sex is not chosen and is locked in our individual DNA. 

“Gender” is defined by the American Psychological Association as “the attitudes, feelings, and behaviours that a given culture associates with a person’s biological sex. Behaviour that is compatible with with cultural expectations is referred to as gender-normative; behaviours that are viewed as incompatible with these expectations constitute gender non-conformity”.

The association defines sexual orientation as referring “to the sex of those to whom one is sexually and romantically attracted”. 

I take it that what Mr Elliott calls “sexuality” is what is meant here.

Mr Elliott’s statements about the “use of non-gender specific language” completely ignores the insistence in the Safe Schools Coalition’s documents and rules about how children have to consider one another, along with staff, etc.

He ignores the whole range of legal arrangements in all societies which have introduced same-sex laws. It is, moreover, that his interpretation of such matters as “laughable” is itself evidence of his misunderstanding of the issues.

Mr Elliott’s strange notion that “sexuality is not static, it is a fluid construct” is not only completely false in scientific terms, it also reveals his strange understandings about wider human relationships.

He clearly believes that sexual relationships can accommodate fluidity simply by allowing us all to indulge our fantasies however we like across all sorts of partners, irrespective of all sorts of other commitments to each other that we night have made.

This is a decidedly anarchic approach to human relationships, commitments, family and the wider communal experience in all its complexities and understandings.  

The “diversity” which Mr Elliott promotes ignores scientific certainties and human realities. It has little to do with social harmony, and is considerably more “dangerous” to all our lives than  anything we have now.

There is no reflection of “the common good” in Mr Elliott’s postmodernist thinking.

HOW about the latest politically correct orchestrated mischief now targeting Santa Claus. 

It has been decided that parents are lying to their children and that their children’s minds will be forever warped from enjoying this age-old tradition. 

The bleeding heart brigade with nothing better to do are claiming the children will never trust their parent again once they discover Santa isn’t real. 

Can’t say I know any children who have suffered any mind-blowing effects. 

On the contrary, they can’t wait for Christmas so as to make sure their children enjoy the same childhood fantasy they themselves did. 

I think the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy will be next in line for the chop. 

I can’t wait to hear what nonsense they will apply to these childhood joys. 

Seems to me they would worry less about these harmless things were they to concentrate on the real threats to our children – Safe Schools gender fluidity nonsense.

Get a life and leave our kids alone. 

We will be the ones to decide what they can and can’t have.
