It is with the utmost seriousness that Family Planning, a popular education organization, strikes us with scientific absurdities. First there was this poster campaign: two men embracing, the belly of one of them exhibiting a strange roundness. And above this caption: “At Planning, we know that men can also be pregnant. “Never mind the biological impossibility. Then there was the Planned Parenthood trans lexicon, “lexicon organized with a view to progressive learning”. Small anthology.
“Sex: A social construct based on mean observations of biological gender differences.” It is commonly accepted scientifically that gender is a spectrum. May also refer to the genitalia.
Assignment at birth: At birth, doctors decide, based on penis/clitoris length standards, whether the individual is a boy or a girl.
Changing gender: The sex characteristics of people, whether cis or trans, are non-binary and can change throughout their lives.”
We would be happy to know the “science” that admits that in Homo sapiens sex is a spectrum. There is probably confusion with crepidules or other animals that naturally change sex during their lifetime. We would also be happy to know the critical length of the sexual organ to differentiate a boy from a girl.
If you haven’t understood correctly, after a few Newspeak terms such as “Cis-passing, Stealth, Out, Dicklit, Femmis/Ladyck, or Morinom”, the Planning graciously presents a list of “Terms not to use” among which come first “Male/female” and “Masculine/feminine”. Well-known insults… It is from this anti-scientific, quasi-sectarian dogma of intersectionality – a “scholarly” word that adorns the woke ideology – that Planning prides itself on “educating” the children of the kindergarten to high school. For “Talking Lgbtphobia with college students” adding cautiously “…in the presence of a professional from the establishment during sessions with the Family Planning facilitator” and inviting teachers and students to “consult the aforementioned trans lexicon! Inclusive writing, this writing that cannot be read, is of course essential!
Our children, our teenagers are in danger. Adolescence is a physiological, morphological and psychological earthquake. In this critical period, the adolescent is weakened, prey to doubt. He seeks support from his peers but also from various sources, unfortunately not necessarily reliable or well-meaning. It is this fragility that exploits the (so little) social networks where untruths abound. With disastrous results.
Just look at the results of the recent Ifop survey conducted for the Jean-Jaurès and Reboot Foundations. We learn, for example, that 16% of young people aged 11 to 24 surveyed believe that the Earth is flat, a proportion that rises to 29% among regulars of TikTok. It is also through this channel that outrageous messages encouraging children and adolescents to change sex are conveyed. Hence the staggering explosion of requests for transition among young people, especially girls, that Western countries have known for a few years. Some countries, initially liberal, now frightened by the magnitude of the phenomenon, are backtracking and laying the groundwork. France does not yet seem to be moved by this new health scandal.
How can an organization such as Planned Parenthood be allowed to stray into a policy that is the opposite of its original purpose? Where are the struggles that enabled the Neuwirth Law and the Veil Law? What happened to the Planning that helped many young girls and many women (dare we say) to access contraception and abortion? Since 2018 and its conversion to intersectionality, it is no longer a drift but a shipwreck. The Planning has become the refuge of transactivist militants. Added to this social scandal is a financial scandal. Because the Planning is an organization financed by the State and the various communities to the tune of 2.8 million euros per year. That is to say, financed by the taxpayer. At a time when it is necessary to control overabundant public spending, it is urgent to condition family planning subsidies to strict compliance with their original orientations and purposes.
Family Planning is one of the three associations that have sued the State to force it to respect the law concerning sex education at school. These associations seem to be unaware that for many years health and sexuality education has been included in school curricula at different levels. It appears, however, that Family Planning has disqualified itself and should no longer be authorized to intervene with schoolchildren, college students and high school students. At least as long as the organization cannot guarantee the overhaul that we recommend, and the rigorous scientificity of its remarks, the formations of Family Planning constitute a danger for public health.
The subsidized dissemination of such scientific untruths to suffering teenagers, waiting for help, is a real scandal. It is urgent that responsible elected officials and the ministries concerned take up this social problem. Hence our cry of alarm.
