Fair enough. Well, then; accepting that you're not happy with the submitted version, what can you do about your proposal? I'd sayAmerieka wrote:thanks. i will try to present this debate in a more coherent manner next time. i won't go so far to call the other people bigots. we are all learning.

We should totally revive these cards.
So what about subjects which are not science based, biology or art based? History in particular is often considered both a science and an art, so where does that fit in these couple of paragraphs?Amerieka wrote:2. All science based subjects remove the use of he/she, or other gender specific identifications, be removed with it.
3. Subjects dealing specifically with gender-linked aspects, such as biology, where he/she can ease the process of learning, is exempt. Art subjects, such as literature and film, are also exempt due to the nature of the already gender specific content.

----------------------
DESCRIPTION: Gender equality has made inroads in many sectors of society but requires further cultural cultivation in society;
RECOGNIZING that early education can and will play a key role in the continued improvement of equality between genders;
PROPOSES that "gender" be progressively minimized, with the aim of eventual elimination, from member nations' education system.
DEFINITIONS:
Education system broadly refers to both academic aspects, such as curriculum, and teaching approach, and administrative aspects, such as uniforms, enrollment forms, and toilet labels.
This proposal states that with IMMEDIATE EFFECT,
1. All school toilets have no gender identification. There is a reason why there is a separation of genders when it comes to toilet, that being that a lot of people do get quite touchy when it comes to gender (harassment and embarrassment sound the same!). Of course, genderholing people into just two groups is a bit weird, but so is half-exposing a bunch of hormonal (in the case of high school) kids of any gender into one big room.
2. Schools that have uniforms abolish the need for standardized uniforms which has conventionally been gender-differentiated.
3. Gender is no longer a required category in all forms and documents relating to the student (or prospective students) This just makes everything harder when it comes to identifying people. If you really wanna go for gender equality, then give folks the freedom to write down what they wish regardless of what society tells them to (but within the bounds of reason, of course); but if you wanna continue this, then watch your bureaucracy crumble, as people become six times as hard to identify!
This proposal further establishes that within FIVE years,
1. Gender studies as a liberal arts subject be taught in secondary/high schools (or its equivalent). Also racial studies, international affairs, economic studies, etc. Because our problems are just as big as yours! (Or, less cryptically: that's why we have Social Studies)
2. All science based subjects remove the use of he/she, or other gender specific identifications, be removed with it. Read on what folks say about language above. AND in terms of science education, this is completely uncalled for, because confusion shall spring inevitably from this. I know some people get uncomfortable with being referred to by a he or she, but that's just some people: we already have a much cleaner way of dealing with that (that is, just asking the person how he or she or whatever wants to be referred to) that won't interfere with the efficiency of science education.
3. Subjects dealing specifically with gender-linked aspects, such as biology, where he/she can ease the process of learning, is exempt. Art subjects, such as literature and film, are also exempt due to the nature of the already gender specific content. Again, there are a lot of complicated issue regarding gender that can also be talked about in other subjects without explicitly referring to gender, like History (identifying someone like Lindsey Stirling or Sidney Greenstreet as either men or women or whatever would be excruciatingly hard with what you're proposing here, and that's pretty key in actually identifying them as people. You can't expect everyone to know every other aspect of their personal lives? Furthermore, gender has a big effect on how people are treated in some historical cultures, but those nuances by themselves can be far from the focus of their related lessons, hence rendering them outside the scope of this little note.

If you want equality in gender can't simply treating others as equals suffice, instead of having to study an entire theory on the matter? Doesn't stressing its importance merely single it out as an "issue" which therefore gives it a negative connotation and possibly sharpen grudges, especially by those who are sick of hearing about the subject?2. All science based subjects remove the use of he/she, or other gender specific identifications, be removed with it.
Which reminds me, why don't we apply this to religion as well? Let's call God "It" instead of "He" since God is clearly a spirit and not a human entity.
Sorry, gonna have to say I'm against this for now.
Important observational note: Although I'm in full support of the LGBT movement, such a proposal could cause gender confusion in these schools and therefore an increase in homosexuality.
Although biological things like breasts, hair length, voice, shape/figure (although concealed by the eventually standardized "unisex" uniform if created) and phallic tools can differentiate the two, I still think it would cause an increase in same sex relations.
And that is, to certain close minded delegates and nations who are not as openly liberal, anarchic and tolerant as I, a very worrisome matter.

You were making some amount of sense until the last half.
Education on this matter fosters understanding. There are a lot of activities and actions that people do not realize are misogynistic because they've become so ingrained and internalized that we no longer notice them. Look at all those men who think catcalling is a sign of respect or the fact that people are a little overly confused about the concept of consent.
Your next point displays your failure to recognize internalized misogyny- god (in christianity) is male because women are not good enough to be god. It should be an it, but their mythology is against such a concept for a reason.
Now here's where we start having a real problem. You think that gender neutral bathrooms would cause gender confusion and in increase in homosexuality. First off, it appears as if you're insinuating homosexuals are all gender confused. Secondly, having a bunch of men in one room with their dicks out and no women is my idea of a party. In fact, just the other night, in one of the seedier levels of the WA *the universal translator emits a loud beep, covering la Vert's words* and I will never get cheese on my salad again.
If you think that some young man is going to 'turn gay' because they didn't recognize their partner as a male until the last moment, they were probably at least a little bisexual to start.
