To want to nip this in the bud ( LGBTQ views , child )

Probably in every school! How else would the various LGBT groups gain access to schools? For example the Stonewall School Champion scheme

Does he have a smart phone or other means of access to online misogynistic sites? That would be a big concern for me (as you’ve already pointed out, it’s a worry where these type of views could lead). I would be very closely monitoring what he has access to online. As the mother of daughters this age I have been witnessing the emergence of the next generation of misogynists in my daughter’s year group for the last few years now sadly.

I am a teacher and have been for ten years, where are these activist teachers you speak of?

Precisely.

Repeating it, regardless of the actual topic under discussion, to the total lack of interest of everyone you're talking at, and doing it on an endless loop despite others totally ignoring or refusing to engage in debate with you, isn't healthy. It's AI gone mad. And at least AI would vary its vocabulary and syntax.

What are you talking about, not what this thread is about.

An unhealthy psychological state = thinking giving off label drugs to kids with no evidence is a good thing.

Not wanting teenagers to be mutilated or sterilised = perfectly normal behaviour.

There was some good advice in there, for sure:

"The ideology around ‘gender’, identity, and sex based stereotypes is a totally different conversation to that around sexual orientation."

Obsession isn't good. It's an unhealthy psychological state.

Good advice.

It is when it’s pushed on others over and again, completely takes over a conversation and people have said they’re not interested and asked for it to stop several times .

You are saying 'obsession' as if that's an insult.

❤️

Exactly. Obsession.

This, this, this.

The other posters is just ranting obsessive nonsense. Talk to your son OP, there has been some good advice in amongst the anti trans lecturing and preaching.

Did I say that?

You seem to be the one complaining that I’m posting.

I am not trans.

Thank you. Noted. Again, I apologise for my mixup.

Is that not allowed?

So first OP says this:

My youngest is going into high school ( 11 ) . Over the past few months I’ve noticed a few comments such as “ there are 2 genders “ , “ I don’t support LGBTQ “ . I’ve addressed this in the moment . But recently he found out his new school has an LGBTQ assembly on a monthly basis and he has started saying he doesn’t want to go because “ he doesn’t support it”

Then she said:

I had a chat with Dad , he wasn’t aware of these things our son said and he said he had a bit of a similar issue with his own stepchild- which I was unaware of , we don’t communicate the best.
He was actually quite level headed in the conversation , he said he does say some comments about 2 genders etc , but that it’s in “jest” .

I am sure comments will allow me to explain more how the conversation went from my side so I won’t drag this post on with that but his comments were unnerving

• he believes someone chooses to be gay , they can control it but they choose it*
• we can choose who we fall in love with*
• if a friend of his told him he was gay he would still be friends with them but not as good because they chose to be gay and he doesn’t support it.*

So dad didn’t even think he’d mentioned gay people - he just joked about ‘2 genders’. Unless you’re inferring a lot from the ‘etc’?

OP summarises the views of 11 yr old son and he apparently claims to have got them all from his dad but as I’m sure many know 11 yr olds aren’t always reliable in reporting what they did yesterday, let alone the exact source of some complex views above their age development grade.

When you look at OPs posts together it’s very clear that gender ideology is an intrinsic part of sons’s thinking. I’m not sure why you’re so keen to claim otherwise?

I am not trans. Nor do I accept your use of the terminology “gender ideology”.

I may have mixed you up with another poster - if so I apologise.

You are very active in posting in favour of gender ideology though.

As you have previously told us you are trans, I think maybe you can’t see the wood from the trees on this

I beg your pardon?

The claim that either people can change their sex or that ‘gender identity’ should supersede sex in all situations is not rooted in fact or reality. Therefore it is an ideology.

As you have previously told us you are trans, I think maybe you can’t see the wood from the trees on this.

Being trans is not homophobic.

Accepting trans people is not homophobic.

LGBT assemblies are not homophobic. 😂

This thread is not the place for people to spread this rubbish.

OP, talk to your son

xx

Your accusations of scaremongering cast quite a wide net though.

To the extent where you dismiss actual serious harm that has been experienced by a young gay man as ‘scaremongering’.

This thread is how a mum can support her child. So would it be useful for her to understand where the source of her son’s thinking comes from? She has a theory that it’s the dad but as the school has LGBTQ assemblies which by definition teach homophobic principles and her son has applied some basic logic.

For a child, if you can choose your ‘gender’ (from one of up to 100 according to the BBC), surely the next logical step is that you can choose your sexuality? Especially if someone else has chosen their ‘gender’.

Why are you so determined to harshly punish (your earlier posts) one type of homophobia but defend an almost identical homophobia?
