Third gender - Is non-binary a problem?

The government has ordered the creation of a “national guide on lovediversity of desires"based on recommendations in the report on a third gender. But is there a basis for adopting more than two genders?

Non-binary people lack legal recognition for their gender identity, and they have a poorer quality of life than the rest of the population, says the Minister of Culture and Equality. Lubna Jaffery believes that the introduction of a third gender can improve the quality of life. Some Norwegians are probably wondering what it means to be “non-binary” and whether it is a new gender. The recent Eurovision winner, Nemo, came out as non-binary last year, so let's take a closer look at this, which is referred to as a third gender.

What is a non-binary transgender person?

Originally, people are born male and female, and a very small number of them may experience that they are the opposite gender. Or that they feel they are both a boy and a girl. Or think they are something in between. Or something completely different. This is the definition of trans based on queer theory of gender identity, and this “knowledge” is presentedto 9 year olds in elementary school. Non-binary is the idea that a person can experience being something other than, or both, male and female.

According to Store Norske Leksikon, this comes from queer theory which assumes that even though you have an innate gender, the experience of being a different gender is something only you have the answer to, and this experience determines your gender. Not biology. You can therefore be anything.

As described by Tv2: Nemo is just Nemo and neither male nor female. Herein lies the core problem of gender identity in Norwegian legislation and state action plansnor. In elementary school, 8-9 year olds learn that they can be whatever they want: boy, girl, something in between, both, or something completely different. This applies to all textbooksin science.

This is not true or right. That is why “queer theory” is an accurate descriptive term.

A non-binary person assumes that the biology of gender does not apply to them. You are neither male nor female because you feel that way. But the reality is that those who define themselves were born into the world as one of the two genders it is possible to be born as. Because only male and female can reproduce into new male and female genders.

Gender that is not of biological origin, such as “non-binary,” is not gender. Both evolution and creation stopped at two biological genders. Even though we are living in 2024, we have not advanced beyond two genders. Let’s look at the reality of gender.

What sexes can a human actually have?

If we go back to the very beginning, whether you believe that humans came into existence through evolution or through a divine creator, both faiths point to only two genders: female and male. And by scientific and theological definition, both genders are locked and unchangeable in their actual biology. This means that humans cannot be any gender other than the gender they were born as. These are facts, and facts don't care about feelings.

Based on the two perceptions of reality, we can establish the following:

– The number of sexes isat least two.

– Sex change is notphysically possible.

– A third sex or multiple sexes, exdoes not exist.

True, boys and girls, approximately 0.018%, are born annually with asex development variation, called “disorder of sex development (DSD)”. Previously, DSD was referred to as the outdated term “intersex”, which means between sexes. Intersex is still used as an “i” in LGBTQI. But intersex does not constitute a third sex nor an intermediate sex. These individuals are boys or girls with DSD. It is that simple: two sexes can have congenital variations.

Biological reality applies whether you like it or not.

But that does not mean that people are locked into behaving, dressing, cutting their hair or speaking based on norms associated with the gender they were born with. Narrow gender roles can arise in the opposite case. In the other trench we find the problem of more than two genders, and we count over 70 genderidentities, where each new gender role per new gender logically leads to narrower gender roles that apply to the gender you “practice”.

Originally, the two sexes give us an infinite number of ways to be male and female. There are as many ways to be male and female as there are people. This used to be called personality.

How sex is expressed culturally or visually does not change the number of sexes, even if politicians adopt new so-called gender identities as a third legal category. Think about the absurdity of it: politicians claiming the power to create a new sex.

It also doesn’t change reality if someone feels that the sex they were born with “doesn’t fully encompass them.” Severalcountries now prohibits schools from teaching children that they may have been born in the wrong sex, but in Norway it is full speed ahead in theopposite direction.. Feeling more similar to, or identifying with, the opposite sex through interests, expression or culture is the closest one can come to resembling the opposite sex – but it is not the same. And it never can be, because biological sex is presentin every cell.

Reproduction by storytelling

How is a non-binary person supposed to reproduce if they are neither male nor female? Through storytelling. And it is through new school textbooks, social media, and other media that young people are introduced to new ideas about who they can be, when sex is presented as fluid and optional, detached from biological reality.

It is perfectly acceptable to have feelings and thoughts about one’s own sex, and to dress or behave differently. But personal feelings do not legitimize allowing artists, activists, politicians, and the media to mislead children and the population into adopting an unscientific understanding of sex.

It is time to stop the reproduction of new so-called “genders” through social contagion among the youngest generations. The first step is to reject a third legal sex category – because sex must be registered according to facts, not emotions.
