It is indoctrination is what it is. Normalising this to impressionable children so that they grow up thinking this is normal and people questioning it are not normal.

Yes. it is.
Children are being indoctrinated in school too.

This is a petition against teaching ‘gender identity’ in RSE lessons if anyone would like to sign. You’ll see more information if you click on it.

Ozzy man is my secret vice.

Here he is reviewing girl horse.

I must say I find her athleticism and commitment most impressive. This was three years ago. I wonder what she's doing now.

Horse Girl - That is extraordinary, she really is moving very like a horse does in spite of her different body.

Here is a puppy that thinks it is a rabbit.

That doesn’t mean that transhorses are horses or transrabbits are rabbits though!

I should totally respect all of this, but whenever I see pronouns written anywhere in confirmation I think 'just fuck off.'

There was a quote on Radio 4 the other day from some millennial/Gen Z about the mental health crisis saying that their problem is that they've lived with existential threats since birth and it's no wonder they can't cope. It was like they'd never heard of the World Wars, bubonic plague, Cold War.... every other existential threat throughout history. Just so bloody self-absorbed! I feel this pronoun thing is another way to get attention.

The quote afterwards restored order by saying the problem is social media and having news in their face all the time. Yes, news and fake ideals they feel beholden to compete with all the time.

Feel free to bash me for saying very unreasonable things.

Was Derek the name of the Prince? It doesn't seem a very Princely name somehow. We should start a baby naming thread....

😂😂😂

These books have deservedly received one or two 1 star reviews (among the ideologically pure reviews from people who want their 7 month olds to be learning zillions of different pronouns), but I note that one reviewer had his review taken down, so Amazon appears to be censoring.

Just sharing Mr Menno' s video

Books are bought centrally and often staff just put them out without looking at them. If it’s a new book it may well be displayed because it is new. If you think library books are inappropriate, bring it to the attention of a staff member, the manager or the council. I have family members who work in libraries and they have had to remove grossly offensive books and videos from time to time.

Every time someone announces a new pronoun (ze etc) I'm sure there's a group of people laughing somewhere going 'haha they actually fell for using that!' Surely most people can see that having a massive list of possible pronouns is ridiculous and unnecessary?!

Between the ages of 3-5 my children identified as

DC1- various characters from Postman Pat, it changed on a daily basis. She also called everyone else by the names of PP characters. I was mostly Mrs Goggins. Although some days she was her own teacher.

DC2 - a tractor. Well actually several brands of tractors, one day he was a Ford, the next a John Deere. It depended on what colour of t shirt he was wearing.

DC3 - various engines from Thomas the Tank Engine.

They are teens now and identify as humans.

Dd1 memorably insisted on being called by the name of Derek for a while - he was the prince in the swan princess. Now at 16 she is definitely far from a Derek!

Tiktok bugs doesn't surprise me, I've seen cats and birds, they have to do something to be different. I wonder why they don't aspire to something of a higher order. I identify as a bear and demand my right to hibernate for six months through winter whilst remaining on my full salary of course. And in summer I will have to spend long hours restoring my strength by lying in the sun eating a lot, which my employer should also support.

WTF is the last table? It's just a random jumble of letters.

Blimey, I'd be so tempted to quietly put this in the bin.

Hmm. I wonder what the pronouns of the person in the hijab are. I can't begin to imagine.

I love when wokeries intersect.

This is something that 100% would be adult driven, which in my mind is akin to abuse.

Yep. Like the vegan cat analogy.

Yes its extreme projection and sexualisation of children.

And sorry, no, I'm deadly boiled beetle serious about that tiktok (seen on Twitter somewhere)

You've been using JKR's spells from Harry Potter haven't you?
Nothing to do with me. I think that the books tend to identify as tomes on 'natural foliage of the outer Hebrides' all by theyselves.

Good on you. If they want to teach their five year old this rubbish they'll have to check out the natural foliage of the outer Hebrides section in order to find it.

Seriously though that pronoun chart headings, subject, object, possessive, reflective.

For kids that in the main are still trying to write their letters properly, some can't read of write yet, some aren't even really aware that boys and girls are different they won't have a sodding clue what a pronoun is or the meanings of the chart headings.

X post!

I think I would have been tempted to reshelve the book among the 'practical accounting for apiarists' or 'how to build your own monkey wrench ' section, or to have accidentally dropped it on the floor and kicked it under a shelf. What a pile of steaming dross.

Saw this in a very prominent position in the Children's Section of my local library.
Is it still there? For some reason, books like this that I spot in my local library seem to end up in the very obscure Sections. I don't know how it happens.
