It's incredibly woolly

No right-thinking person thinks that gender stereotypes are OK
Every right-thinking person thinks that children can be harmed by their behaviour, appearance, personality being judged some how wanting if they don't conform to stereotypes.

Little boy likes wearing flowery leggings and wearing pink. WE know he's a boy, and we support that boy to be the kind of boy he wants to be. A boy where what he wears an likes to play with is one facet of his personality

But their solution: label the child as trans...

Locate the 'problem' inside him. Decide he needs support with his identity...

Any right thinking school tells its children that children are all different from each other; that different children like different things; that to bully another child for what they like is wrong
Any right thinking school educates children about the biological differences between boys and girls and men and women. And the wide range of personalities girls and boys have.

Solution: boy knows he's a boy. Everyone else knows he's a boy. Boy and other children accept him.

How can "vulnerable young people question their identity" when they can't even define the word (and it's all so circular)?? If you ask kids if they want ice cream but make them define it before they get any, you for sure know they can define their sweet frozen dairy treat. But identity? nah.

What exactly do they mean by identity cos they NEVER SAY?? The identity of a pink princess passive aggressive drama llama? Or the identity of a he-man super hero who saves the day and is in charge of everything? Or the more reasonable identity of somebody in between both of those who expresses themselves however they want -- which would describe everyone who isn't trans?

Even when they claim they're trying to get away from stereotypes, they're just reinforcing and regressing. Maybe it's because none of these people appear to understand what 'gender stereotype' is, -- it's a phrase which originated by radical feminists in order that they could more fully discuss the patriarchal habit of believing in something which doesn't actually exist (yet the assumption of it has real world ramifications), such as a ghost or a universal ladybrain personality.

Who has ghost gender? I do, and all the people who claim to be "non binary". Who has a universal ladybrain personality? Nobody, cos it doesn't exist in the real world, it only exists as a fantasy in the mind of misogynists and is used to justify their sexism. For example, a sexist twat would say, "oh gosh no real ladybrain person would EVER mind that a rapist with intact peen has access to the women's showers, therefore we don't need to ask women what they think about the trans issue".
