The Times: BBC films teach children of 100 genders

From a biological POV, there is no such thing as gender, from a societal one there is.

Until someone disproves this, and the classification of sex, I will stand by my view and the facts in front of me that the so called 'transgender umbrella' is a load of bollocks.

I’m having to watch the film in small chunks, it’s making me so cross. It’s bad enough that the children in the film were exposed to such rubbish, let alone the children who will watch it.

That film is shit. I really really hate that the BBC is using public money to fund this mendacious propaganda

this is made-up nonsense

I had that at school. Not gender, it was ITA (surreal 'reading' scheme. It's creators invented extra letters so that there was one for each phonics sound). Bit of a problem, because, if you hadn't learnt it, you couldn't read it, so parents couldn't help, the rest of the world was in boring old normal English - so no 'we need eggs, can you see the sign for them?'.

Let's hope gender nonsense becomes just as discredited soon.

Shame they have taken off the recommended star so you cant like them

I can see the stars, maybe you have to be a subscriber.

Who produces this guff? Is it in-house?

The funniest thing is people are paying for this from the BBC!

Great article, great comments.

But FFS BBC. My opinion of you was already low. Now it's subterranean.

I just watched this. I think any child would be completely confused by the 'explanations' given.

Why is this happening at all? I only came across about 100 genders in the last year or so and only refer to them for comedy value as they are so ridiculous.

Yet some people think they are sufficiently true and important that children need to learn about them at school.

The comments are really good. Shame they have taken off the recommended star so you cant like them

I am so glad my 10 year old questions things like this.

He has already had his teachers discussing gender ID with them.
He listens to his teachers then comes home to me and asks me about it. I have explained how it is problematic to self identify and that there are only two sexes, which have absolutely nothing to do with clothes you wear or toys you play with etc.

But it is worrying that at such a young age children are being taught how the belief in gender trumps everything else.

Yep. They’re actively trying to indoctrinate children with this bollocks. I’m in danger of reaching peak BBC (or nadir BBC?)

I used to love it too. Do they realise that they’re alienating fogeys like me who supply their licence fees and write to our MPs when the odious Murdoch clan try to spin against them?

Stupid stupid stupid

Something extremely creepy about the BBC being so invested in this. They are now creating propaganda.

*their

Just watched the puberty clip and I notice only boys get wet dreams. Obviously girls don't actually get an erection and ejaculate

Where is there internal consistency? Should they also say girls get erections and ejaculate from their laydee penises, and that boys grow breasts and have period pains?

Great comment from Stephanie A-D in the article, really clear

This is made-up nonsense. People are free to identify as anything they like, but this does not change the reality that there are only two sexes

To suggest that being male or female is just a personal identity is false and will inevitably confuse children into believing that their biological sex is a choice

Good article and glad to see Stephanie A-D asked for comment.

The comments are already shaping up well. For example:

I would laugh if it were not such a worry. They seem to have confused the word "gender" for personality. As in: a girl is a female body with any personality; not any old body with a "female personality"

It is so old fashioned, and incredibly confusing to give children a message that female or male stereotypes are what makes someone a girl or a boy.

Right now we have Primary school children, some of whom may turn out to be gay; some of who will not, being told their love of certain clothing, certain toys or activities means they are "actually" the wrong sex. These messages are taken very literally by autistic children, who represent a large chunk of those referred to the Tavistock GIDS. Where is the Safeguarding?

The BBC has a disproportionately large number of trans identifying employees, and they seem keen to use children to validate what is essentially a belief system. The BELIEF in "gender" which is separate from, and more important than, biological sex.

I just had googled the PSHE teacher who told the child there are over 100 genders and Kate Daniels appears to be a female Andrew Moffat. She is a self styled PSHE expert who runs her own consultancy and was the consultant who worked with the BBC to make this series of films. She is also the "PSHE education expert" for the BBC series of films 'Mimi on a Mission', aimed at KS4.

Thanks for the share token. It’s good to see more and more people questioning this move towards the ever growing list of gender ids. Or as anyone with a brain would say personality. The comments are pretty much all condemning the BBCs approach on this
