Over this past weekend I took 18hr the CPR/FirstAid course in person.
Instructor was brilliant in anatomical knowledge & engaging!
Demonstrating palpation technique, he showed how to turn palm away from victim while checking chest area, due to sensitivity based upon gender.

...He said: “Of course, you all know there are three genders, right?”
As he said this he stood up and leaned back against the chalkboard with a smug “I told you so expression.”
He looked so pleased with himself.
Like a person suddenly revealing the existence of a new planet.

How could I let that stand?
Me: What are the three genders?
Him: Male, Female and “those that have both”
Me: Are you referring to Intersex? That’s not a 3rd gender. There’s only DSD male and DSD female.
Him: Now you are layering your belief system upon reality.

Me: Nope! I am only saying what everyone knows to be the reality.
There are bodies that are organized to produce eggs (female).
There are bodies that produce sperm (male).
There is no “spegg.”
[I think I got the spegg from either @SwipeWright or @zaelefty. ✔️]
Him: (Realizing

Him: (Realizing that I was not going to be gaslit) Look: I am required by law to teach you there are three genders and you are going to accept that.
Me: I will not accept a biological falsehood. Find me one person in Canada who exists from a union of anything other than XX & XY.

Him: Try telling that to someone the LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 community (As if somehow this appeal to “higher authority”raised his argument beyond reach?).
Me: It’s irrelevant. They are not the source of all biological truth.
Him: (shocked) what you are saying is deeply bigoted and racist.

Me: What? We aren’t even talking about race!
Him: Look. For the sake of THIS course in THIS country🇨🇦, you are required by law to accept that there are THREE genders.
Him: I feel we all need to take a 10min break to decompress.
Me: I don’t need that.
Him: Yes you do.😃

I guess it could be argued that this call for a time out is the instructor acknowledging that he made me (his student) feel “triggered” and “unsafe”?
