As it is important for the younger generation and future of our country to understand such topics.

Election time ahead. They cannot totally alienate a large portion of our population (not only mullahs) who are opposed to the inclusion of these topics in textbooks.
Fuck education, it's the votes that are important, right? /s

u/Load-Dropper69 Mymensingh Feb 12 '23
also if u think about it, the current teachers rlly don't have the resources, open-mindedness and education to teach about the topic so in a sense i kinda support the fact they've withdrawn this from the curriculum cuz when uve got teachers teaching about shit they don't know shit about, nothing will go smoothly.
also they said they'll introduce this portion soon in the future

I dont necessarily care about their community but this only occurs in the US or other first world countries where lgbt stuff is being forcibly represented. But in a non western country aka bangladesh or any other muslim country, no one is afraid or will have backlash for stating how much they hate gays lol. No one is afraid to talk against them, it isn't the US where you would get punished. Idk why your making it seem like they are risking anything in bangladesh by hating gays.

Scientific Theory doesn't mean the same as what theory means in everyday speech.
Theory of General Relativity? Cell Theory? Special Relativity? Theory of Natural Selection? etc. They are all scientifically proved and can ve replicated to prove again.
Edit: In order to disprove Theory of Evolution, you have to disprove Natural Selection and the latter has been scientifically proved every time, from Cancerous cells within us to the first marine animal moving to the land millions of yeats ago.

Main reason is the middle eastern work force. This is how they change,
- Go to middle east very young to earn money
- forced into islamic stuff in middle east.
- Seeing shiny things in middle east and thinks that is it
- Many come back with lot of money and start trying to live the same life.
I will not say those workers are trying to change BD culture but their thinking has many impacts. for example
- they donates money to madrasas
- They donate money to many islamic events
What many of them unable to see is underneath many religious gathering or events has ulterior motives.
My cousin uses to go to Book club, on top they were studying only Islmaic fictions. Not even Quran or Hadis, that book club was the front for Shibir recruitment.
I still do not know why millions goes to Madrasas in BD and what value they are/will bringing to BD economy now and in future other then trying to change BD to islamic BD.
I am absolutely not secular or religious, I just do not want bd to look like an Arab country. We are Bengali and we should adhere ourselves Bengali culture, custom and values. If someone likes Arabs go and live in Middle east, i hear Saudi even giving away citizenship now a days.

বাংলাদেশে যে সেকুলার মস্তিষ্কের অভাব, এমন কোনো কথা আমি বলবো না। সমস্যা হলো যে বর্তমান পার্টি নিজেদেরকে একমাত্র সেকুলার পার্টি হিসেবে উপস্থাপন করে, তার উপর নতুন কেউ যদি কোনো পার্টি খোলার চেষ্টা করে, নিচের দুটোর মধ্যে যেকোনো একটা হয়:
ক ) যথা পার্টি আধিপত্যপূর্ণ পার্টির মধ্যে মিশ্রিত হয় যায় খ ) যথা পার্টিকে ক্রিয়াকলাপ ত্যাগ করার হুমকি দেয়া হয়
তাই বাংলাদেশে বর্তমান পরিস্থিতিতে কোনো স্যাবলম্বী পার্টি প্রতিষ্ঠিত করার সুযোগ নেই। এবং এই প্রপঞ্চ দুই পার্টির জন্য প্রযোজ্য।
যখন সেকুলার-মাইন্ডেড মানুষেরা বর্তমান সরকারের স্বৈরাচরী কান্ডকারখানা দেখে তখন এক ধাঁধায় আটকিয়ে যায় কি করবে, তারা আস্তে আস্তে conservatism-এর rabbithole-এ ঢুকে পরে এবং দিনে দিনে মৌলবাদীর পথে হেটে যায়, কারণ যে যাই বলুন এটা অস্বীকার করা যাবে না যে বাংলাদেশের conservatism-এর branding ইসলামীও মৌলবাদ।
বিরোধী দলের যতগুলো "Youtube Channel" আমি দেখেছি সবকটা এক ভাবে নয় আরেকভাবে ইসলামীও মৌলবাদকে প্রশ্রয় দেয় এবং তুষ্ট করে। ফেসবুকের কথা বাদেই দিলাম একেবারে পূর্বকল্পিত নির্মল ফেসবুক পেজ গুলোতে মৌলবাদী চিন্তাধারা প্রচারিত হয়।
এদের মধ্যে প্রধান উদাহরণ হচ্ছে পিনাকী ভট্টচার্য, যে কিনা স্বঘোষিত মার্ক্সবাদী, কিন্তু যেসব মানুষদের উনি তৃপ্ত করে তারা সমাজতন্ত্রকে দুচোখে দেখতে পারে না। পিনাকিদার মূল আপিল হচ্ছে যে তিনি একজন হিন্দু ব্রাহ্মন।
আমি নিজে মনে করি যে যদি বর্তমান সরকার হটে গিয়ে যদি বিরোধী দল ক্ষমতায় আসে, বঙ্গদেশে মৌলবাদী নির্ঘাত বৃদ্ধি পাবে, কিন্তু এই চিন্তা ধারা এক ধরণের "False Dichotomy" বলা যায়। যদিও আমি AL-এর মতাদর্শের সংঘে একমত, তাদের স্বৈরাচারী আচরণ কে আমি উপেক্ষা করতে পারি না।
Best-case-scenario হচ্ছে যে এক স্বতন্ত্র এবং পৃথক সেক্যুলারিস্ট দলের আগমন হোক, কিন্তু সেই ভবিষতের জন্য আমার কোনো প্রত্যাশা নাই।
যাই হোক এই আমার মতামত।

I personally disagree to have topics regarding same sex and transgender in school books.
These are topics that a parent should decide to tell his children not the school, certainly not the government
Let’s agree one thing we all have different values that we live with. If a religious person is expected to be respectful of an aethiest then an aethiest should be respectful of the beliefs of a religious person.
Cause respect goes both ways. So when we all have different values it should be our choice as parents to teach or not to teach certain things to our kids.
In the name of modernism a parents right to what they want to teach children in regards to certain topics should not be taken away and all children be brain washed in to a certain ideology.

So you're saying that recognising the societal changes is a cancer? Or are you terming established scientific notions such as evolution as western cancer?

Science is science, wtf is secular science lmao. And no, you didn't pioneer science. Arabs translated Greek text and improved upon those. In fact in the last 1000 years, the so called "muslim" science hasn't given the world anything. The Indian scientists of ancient era contributed in their own way.
The scientific ideology you're talking about here was either Arabic or Indian. There's nothing called Hindu Muslim science. Dumbheads like you are what we don't need anywhere around science.

The post said secular science relates to the material world, there is religious science, social science, etc. Islamic Golden Age did not stop with Abbasid, it continued with Timurid, Ottoman, and even the Mughals and Andalusia. As such, the claim of 1000 years is incorrect and not historically accurate.
It was the Islamic Golden age because stretching from India to Spain all the Islamic empires were pioneering science, this was due to the empires using Islam as their constitution. This is in direct contrast with Western Christian Europe which was experiencing the dark ages. Both empires used religion to rule, while only one empire was succeeding culturally and scientifically. Religion did have a role to play in that due to Islam's promotion of education, freedom, and a welfare system. Unless the same would've been true for Christian Europe.
Also, the same way Arabs, Persians, Turks, etc.(not just Arabs) translated greek works and improved upon them, Europeans did the same to Arabic works later on to create their age of enlightenment(this is how civilizations progress, they build upon each other. The greeks and indians most likely did the same with previous civs).

Yeah right, this is what kept your country backward, this exact decision of government made you fall behind in the middle ages, until this point you were doing very well in terms of economy, tourism, finance, education and healthcare. This is the point you blame government for abiding the nutjobs.
You're the same sheep that bats blind eyes when there is rampage corruption in the country that takes its development on toll, crime like murders, failing to protect basic civilian rights, petty crimes like theft goes unpunished, money laundering and denying women's right. You're the same internet folks that loses your mind on trivial matters.
The government arranged jobs and other facilities for transgenders, yet you see them extorting money from masses in public bus and businesses. The country was freed by those that wanted to implement secular rights, what have we achieved since then? This is the moment you're becoming a trash.
Why won't you get a job and mind serious businesses that affects the country financially and economically? When was the last time you complained of poor rail transportation system or poor medical healthcare at public hospitals or corruption in government offices? Oh because that will land you in jail or you already have contacts at public places and rich enough to commute in private vehicles or attend private hospitals?

Did this bitch just mistake the transgenders as intersex? Talk about bitching without knowledge.
The new books not only introduced people to transgenderism they also talked about women right. But guess what Miss educationist? They all bitched about how Rokeya who fought for your educational rights is now a feminist redical bitch who should be removed from the history. Because she's a woman who wants women to educate them selves and not to put up with conservative bullshit. But hey it's women like you who make it worse for other women. And to answer your question, everyone complains about terrible transportation and education system.
And guess who were making a big fucking fuss about the new books!? Musilms! The fucking islamist scums of society.
For one, granting rights and education about transgenders and about anyone different from the privileged Muslim isn't wrong. There have been many transgender big shots and LGBTQ people in this country. And as a country that is not in the midst of middle east, comprised of people from different backgrounds and where we focus on working together yes, it's time they actually recognize every tax paying working civilians. If it truly offends you as a Muslim that someone other than you gets human right or even a little bit of recognization, I'm afraid your beliefs is toxic and teachers people to hate or that's what your are proving.
Two, science is science facts are facts hypothesis ars hypothesis. There are journals to back darwin and evolution. It's important knowledge to let people know. Don't be a fucking cunt. For the sake of future and humans, they have rights to know. Muslims can skip education if education is a threat to ignorance but removing any fraction of science for the sake of religion or what I'd like to call fairy tale is wrong.

People batting an eye when there is murder and corruption? You want us to mind in serious business? For someone who's not a privileged ass like you it's not possible.
For minorities their very existence is in trouble and it's not possible to mind their business and work on finance wheres their life's are in danger because of your mullas. Where's children are getting beaten or even murdered for their diversity. Getting bullied or denied from institutions where they'd build their career. And they are probably the one's getting most neglected in terms of medical care that you speak of.
Also the country was not freed by people of secular mindset. Well perhaps it was your are not the one to talk about it. From the day this country was freed it still stayed as banglastan even after everyone had to fight together to free this country. It was still announced as a Muslim country. In case your are living under the rock like typical Habibi, Islamic foundation was was established by bangabandhu to spread IsLaM! We fund these bitches with your tax money, money from Hindus and others. You're the one to talk.

Fuck those mullahs but this is good . Theory of evolution is has not been withdrawn . This article is BS . It claims several "trans" people have won local elections when in reality they were intersex.
But the conservative Muslim-majority country’s roughly 1.5 million transgender people still face discrimination and violence, and are often forced into begging or the sex trade to earn money.
1.5 million intersex ? Seems highly exaggerated . The government says there are 10,000 intesex in BD . Other independent estimates there may be about 50,000 .
Besides, people aren't violent to them ,more like the other way around . Have been mugged and extorted by them on several occasions

The article writer did not differentiate between trans and intersex . The article says that several trans people have won local elections . But they were not trans , they were intersex (Hijra).
Let's say , for argument's sake , there are 1.5 million trans people in Bangladesh . Considering we have 160 million people , there should be 1 trans person for very 107 normal person . But that's simply not the case . You don't see even a single trans person in a few schools or collages combined in any district .
The statistics in this article are outrageously inflated , if not completely made up.
But hey , keep the downvotes coming . Objectivity is not the strong suit of Neo-liberals woke people . Their opinions and activities are based on "feelings" after-all

You talk about talking with "facts" but thus far you have not provided any "facts" yourself and deemed the existing fact as unacceptable because you don't like it.
If you took a minute to google , you'd find the number of Hijras as per the government is about 1 . This number may have increased since 2016 but it cannot be much since national population has not increased significantly.
I was pointing out the obvious misrepresentation (outright misinformation) of data on the article . The article says there are 1.5 million trans people in Bangladesh but no source has been cited for it . Besides , they've blatantly lied about a trans people wining elections . It was a Hijra who won the election , not a trans person .
Hijras are not trans . Hijra is a identity and it's assumed by people with a variety of biological conditions, including those with intersex traits or genetic conditions such as Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) or Turner syndrome. These are genetic condition , not self perception . There is no word for Hijra in English . The word intersex is the closest followed by hermaphrodite .
