What fresh hell is this... Pronouns book for 5+

Please tell me that's early morning humour.

Please!

I bet genderfuck isn’t in the glossary. That can be in the follow-up book for 8+.
I’m so tired of this now. The bios of the authors always tick the same boxes; gamer, artist, animals etc.
I have no idea how any of these new authors are taken seriously. They have nothing to actually say apart from regurgitating the made up rubbish they fill their brains with in online forums like Twitch and Discord.

More seriously; this kind of shite is appallingly uninclusive for children who have EAL or a speech and language / learning difficulty.

I'm sure they've got that covered; a girl on tiktok was helpfully explaining her pronouns to be bug and dirt the other day.

At five I declared I was a beetle. When asked if I was a boy beetle or a girl beetle I replied "a boiled beetle"

I wonder what their suggestions of pronouns would have been for five year old me?

There is a picture of a child wearing a headscarf on the front. I wonder how many headscarf wearing children (or indeed adults) refer to themselves as other than the sex that they are?

Reminds me of Victorian books I have read when there was so much emphasis on etiquette and social ritual, which corner of your visiting card you had to turn down to indicate you would accept a return visit etc etc.

Maybe societies that are above subsistence level develop these kinds of rituals whether we think they make any sense or not.

This! 👆🙄

There's another one on Amazon which is for children from babies to 3.
See this 5 star review:

"My seven month old loves the book for the pictures of people and I appreciate being able to introduce her to this concept from the start of her verbal development."

Kids that ages would have zero interest in "pronoun etiquette". They're interested in:

• Father Christmas
• what the tooth fairy leaves them when their teeth fall out
• questions like: what if the guinea pig was real and I took him to school with me? No but just say he was real mummy, could I? It would be so funny!

Whoever wrote this has never met a real 5yo.

I agree that with the Wales decision, it's the kind of dogma we can expect more of.

The publishers are probably rubbing their hands with glee, after the Welsh Education Department won their case at the High Court, today. Now, they can legally indoctrinate 3 year olds with trans propaganda.

Wow, that's a lot of text on a fairly boring topic for five year olds. Mine would have wandered off long before deciding they were elf/elfself or whatever.

Not written or selected by people who are five familiar, I would say.

Can you imagine if they actually let five year olds decide on terminology to refer to them. It would be far more exciting than they/he/she/them. My DD would have been ironman princess or black widow super cat at that age.
