Thread by @AwakenedPineal

1./ A long thread 🧵 132+ countries have policies or laws relating to sex education and many refer to UNESCO for guidance. HOW EXACTLY did gender identity ideology get into the 2018 update of UNESCO’s international sex education guidance? unfpa.org/sites/default/…

2. / In 2009, UNESCO published the International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education (ITGSE): An evidence-informed approach for schools, teachers and health educators. Purpose: assist in the dev't of school-based sex ed programmes. In 2016 the process of updating it began.

3./ [note: this thread tries to analyse how ‘gender identity’ got into international sex education guidance. There are 4 other concerns analysed by others; 1) the name ‘sexuality’, 2) queer theory, 3) sexualising young children and 4) safeguarding. See links at the end]

4./
2009 ITSGE: ‘Gender Identity’ appears 2 times for 15-18+ year olds

2018 ITSGE: ‘Gender Identity’ appears 44 times from as young as 9 years old

gfmer.ch/SRH-Course-201…

5. / 2018 ITSGE: 9-year-olds are to “acknowledge that everyone has a gender identity”. How did this compelled belief get into international school guidance? Many people don’t have a gender identity; in fact, many people find it a sexist, regressive notion

6. / 2018 ITSGE: 5-year-olds are to define and “reflect on how they feel about their biological sex and gender”. Notice the definitions. What an awful way to create and promote gender distress…

7. / 2018 ITSGE: Imagine a tomboy or effeminate boy at school being taught about ‘gender variance’ & ‘gender identity’ which ‘may involve modification of bodily appearance or function (by medical, surgical or other means)’. HOW did this get into UNESCO’s int'l school guidance?

8. / 2018 ITSGE: states that these are ‘widely accepted definitions’ already used in documents prepared by UNESCO and other United Nations (UN) agencies. But in fact, the gender lobby wrote them. The key is to separate out UN projects that DO and DON’T involve gender ideologues

9. / 2018 ITSGE: There are 192 references. The most cited do NOT mention the phrase ‘gender identity’ or promote gender identity ideology. Let’s look at three …

10. / ITSGE update: First, the main review commissioned by UNESCO “Review of the Evidence on Sexuality Education Report to inform the update of the UNESCO International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education” 2016 by Paul Montgomery and Wendy Knerr
gcedclearinghouse.org/sites/default/…

11. / ... No gender identity ideology, ‘gender identity’ The evidence & lessons learned since the release of the original publication, found little to support a substantial update to ITSGE but recommends more on sex-based violence & empowering young people, especially girls

12. / [Note: a possible concern was this: “There was a strong emphasis in some literature on the need to address sensitive issues… we recommend adding a new section on ‘ensuring confidentiality, privacy” Links to Safe Schools Alliance @SafeSchools_UK safeguarding experts, later]

13. / ITSGE update: 2nd by Nicole A.Haberland “The Case for Addressing Gender and Power in Sexuality And HIV Education” Found 80% of programs addressing gender or power were saw a significantly lower rate of STIs or unintended pregnancy. (Vs 17%)
guttmacher.org/sites/default/…

14. / ITSGE update: 3rd, Haberland, N., Rogow, D. 2015. “Sexuality education: Emerging trends in evidence and practice”. educate girls to see themselves & others as equal members in their rel'ships, able to protect their health, participate in society

jahonline.org/article/S1054-…

15. / So far, no 'gender identity' concepts inform the ITSGE update. (I’ve not read all 192 references) Let’s look at 2 more things. Stakeholder consultation and Advisory Group . . .

16. / ITSGE update: I) Stakeholder Consultation of 60 people, including a “UNESCO Stakeholder Consultation and Advisory Group Meeting”, 25-27 Oct 2016 at UNESCO HQ Paris. 18 presentations. [I’ve not looked at all of them] include; preventing School-related gender-based violence

17. … preventing FGM, child & early forced marriage, STIs, pregnancy helping girls to say no, make informed decisions & get menstruation info; 66% girls don’t know what it is when starting their periods. No gender identity I don't have access to the speaking notes / ppts

18. / [note: My impression is that most experts want to make the world a better place. No mention of ‘gender identity’. I wonder, how many feel unable to challenge gender identity ideology, just like academics. (We need whistleblowers, journalists on this, politicians on it)]

19. / ITSGE update: II) Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) Advisory Group, established to inform the process and its findings. [I’ve not reviewed members]

20. / so by the end of 2016, independent UNESCO evidence made it clear that sex matters [observation: I’m a lesbian, mother, feminist, who noticed similar urgent needs in this evidence, to that from NIA @nia_endingVAWG & Filia @FiLiA_charity Europe’s biggest feminist annual conf]

21. / so HOW EXACTLY did gender identity ideology get into the 2018 updated International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education? What happens next is mind blowing 🤯…

22./ In 2017, UNESCO commissioned activists, Advocates For Youth (AFY), who are NOT independent, to 1) prepare a report recommending the content of the updated ITSGE, and 2) actually write the new content for the new international sex education guidance.

23. /[I can’t find a ‘Request for Proposal’ (RFP) or ‘contract award’ on United Nations Global Marketplace UNGM.. UNESCO spends USD 125 Million pa. key Q's: HOW was AFY’s tender evaluated and scored to win? Are UN procurement requirements rigged?] ungm.org/Shared/Knowled…

24. / Advocates For Youth (AFY), recommended by Gendered Intelligence, ACLU and full member of the gender lobby, backed by the usual powerful gender lobby funding influencewatch.org/non-profit/adv…

25. / The word ‘activist’ appears over 1000 times, ‘activism’ over 900 times, ‘gender identity’ over 300 times, ‘transgender’ over 500 times on their website. advocatesforyouth.org

26./ Advocates For Youth (AFY) id as US national sex education experts. WestWind Foundation funded AFY, Answer, and Youth Tech Health to create online space AMAZE with vids to deliver sex ed to kids directly. gender shopping vids r used by US Teachers

amaze.org

27./ AFY Amaze videos ab puberty & menstruation are seamlessly blended with gender identity ideology. ‘What is Asexual?’ vid tells children “Asexuals just don’t have a drive to be sexual”. ‘Asexuality’ recruits kids not yet sexually active, by describing what they actually are

28./ [note: Teaching 'Asexuality' is not a neutral act. this detransitoner said “I went online and found the term “asexual” on Tumblr.” the start of her transition, double mastectomy and lifelong medical problems. ] thetimes.co.uk/article/the-de…

29./Sexual orientation is conflated with inventions from Tumblr pansexual, demi sexual. Facts & Dogma are blended like oil & water into a type of ‘trans the orientation away’ Indoctrination Emulsion. (UNESCO linked to Amaze as a ‘resource’ in 2021)

30./ AFY 2017: Advocates for Youth prepare the report for UNESCO: “Review of Curricula and Curricular Frameworks: Report to inform the update”. They say “it is also critical to further develop and strengthen some topics within the ITGSE, including … gender identity”

31./AFY recommends education in Gender identity/expression in primary school like Canada, because they say “beliefs…form during the early stages of childhood”. AFY are literally telling us they want children to ‘form’ gender identity ideology beliefs in primary school.

32./ [Note: John Money, abuser and paedophile, invented the concept of “gender identity”]

33. / [Notice AFY attach gender identity to ‘sexual orientation. A Gender lobby tactic is to appropriate LGB in a type of human rights category fraud. Appropriate evidence of homophobia, take resources to tackle it, latch on ‘gender identity’, call it SOGI and voila..]

34. AFY 2017: AFY introduce a rpt, not in original refs “Out in the Open: Education Sector Responses to Violence based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity/Expression. Sexual orientation reframed as gender orientation. No mention of detransitioners
unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0024/00…

35./ The 1st reference from the out in the open report (“UNESCO 2012 Education sector responses to homophobic bullying”. Reviewed by Arcus Foundation and BeLonG To), shows the global scale of bullying of lesbian, gay and bisexual learners. Notice the hijacking in the footnote

36. / AFY 2017: AFY ref 16 ‘in-depth’ interviews by phone or skype. 2 in writing. AFY provide scant detail on how EXACTLY the interviews provide evidence for AFY’s recommendation to include gender identity/expression in sex education. Just believe them. Methodology is moot

37. / AFY 2017: based on all that NON EVIDENCE, Advocates for Youth re-wrote the International sex education guidance topics to include gender identity / ideology. Here are the topics before and after AFY.

Here’s a link to AFY’s report. gcedclearinghouse.org/sites/default/…

38./ Finally, the 2018 updated International Sex Education guidance is launched. thanks is given to Advocates for Youth for the new concepts. Now gender distress can be taught

39. / Notice the structure. ‘Gender identity’ is not on the surface. A Gender lobby tactic is to put ideology under the radar; use footnotes, small print, appendices, definitions in the glossary. Insert deliberate fundamental grammatical errors that change the meanings of words

40. / so now we have an int’l sex education compelled belief written by idealogues. 9-year-olds are to “acknowledge that everyone has a gender identity”.and….AFY’s Education and Amaze videos can now officially supplement the guidance written by them… amaze.org/?topic=gender-…

41. / instead of being empowered, a girl learns membership of her sex is dependent on conformity to stereotypes, that she has a gender identity & expression that doesn’t match her sex. against the evidence to inform the ITSGE update but supported by AFY

42./ Dec 2017. Then the soft launch of the revised International Technical Guidance on #Sexuality Education. ‘Gender identity’ appears 4 times in speaker notes but not the slides. under the radar not on the surface. Notice Slide 11. slideplayer.com/slide/17477530/

43./ Jan 2018. International launch. Sex Education with Gender identity ideology. National governments may align policies & laws for sex education. maybe embed Gender Identity ideology, in law, Pass legislation “under the radar”, “latch…onto more popular legal reforms”(Dentons)

44./ And so begins the world wide anguish of parents, teachers and children as they challenge mandated gender identity ideology in sex education. And so begin the legal battles. thread continues…
