Before I start, this isn't meant to be inflammatory in any way.
I very much belief in ' live and let live '.
My husband also generally believes that but he also believes that our DD is very young and that talk around the kinds of things mentioned in my title - is too soon.
We have a son too and sometimes when he wants to put on makeup etc, my DH will say ' boys don't wear makeup '. My DD has come home several times, correcting us saying that her teacher told her that boys do wear makeup.
Yesterday my son was trying to wear hair clips and again, someone said ' those are for girls '. My DD answered that her teacher had told her that it was ok for boys to do those things and that her friend ( who's a boy ) is now getting married as a girl.
My husband feels it's too soon and confusing for a 4 year old to be told about this.
I think it's a sign we need to have some conversations with my DD, so she hears from us about this stuff.
My in laws and parents think it's completely inappropriate for teachers to be saying this sort of stuff and are wondering if the same sort of things would be said in a catholic school setting.
I think we should buy a book which explains homosexuality/ transgender issues in a child friendly way.
Please can someone who's been here, help me navigate ? Thank you. Again, I don't want to offend anyone.
