Gender critical and looking at secondary schools

37 replies

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 12/08/2022 23:24

Never thought I'd ever have to consider any potential secondary schools approach on single sex spaces / teaching my child they can change sec etc.

And now I'm starting to look at secondaries for 2023 intake and in my main list of questions is

  • do you have spaces which are segregated by sex?
  • do you work with Mermaids etc?
  • do you teach the children that they can be born in the wrong body/can change sex

But equally, if I ask these things, it marks me out. And potentially marks my child out.

If you don't speak up, your child will have to fight the nonsense alone.

Honestly- unless it's a small school no-one will remember who you are or who your kid is from the open day.

Interhigh if it's still going. No idea how much it costs now though.

Unfortunately with your idea of gender stereotypes, your son might be forced to become a transwoman if he happens to secretly like something that, to your mind, is unmanly.

But if I ask, and they aren't even on the radar of all that, does that mark me as trouble? Schools and businesses seem to be flying all sorts of "be kind" flags, most of which mean women are fucked over, so will it make my family seem transphobic? Which we aren't.

What if I ask and other parents immediately mark me as transphobic? Being GC seems so dangerous atm.

Presumably these guys would have a website? One of the few benefits to batshit mentalism for the rest of us is they never miss a chance to shove it in everyone's face as if we should be fucking grateful.

I don't agree that attending school makes a person gay. Nor would I give a shit of my son was gay or into home ec etc.

I just don't want the factually incorrect you can change sex bullshit or the whole here's a breast binder abuse.

Sadly I couldn't give up my (full time) job to do that.

So what if it does? You wouldn't send your kids to a stonewall gulag if they were gender woo would you?
