Teacher upset with my child questioning about trans child

Not at 4/5 you bloody can't!

Yes, yes you can.

Oh give over.

We might ask you the same question because you’ve been pushing this nonsense throughout the thread.

You give over.

Well it would appear that you can, given the number of threads recently about similar issues to OP’s. If children really can’t tell the difference at this age then there shouldn’t be a problem. Oh, wait………………..

Look you can obviously not reliably tell whether a 4/5 year old is male or female based on the shape of their face and how they move. We tell through social cues- hairstyle/ clothes/ name etc. When these divert from social convention adults make mistakes all the time, let alone another 4/5 yr old child. It's silly to pretend otherwise.

4 to 5 year olds really can't tell just from face shape and movement.

Thank you for some basic common sense

It's not nonsense.

OPs child obviously can!

The teacher is going on about it, reading Jazz Jennings's fluffy rainbows and unicorns book, and the child is confused and apparently correcting the teacher's use of wrong sex pronouns.
So yes, if the child had no knowledge of ever being a boy, this might not have come up. But the child themselves is confused and the other children were all in preschool with this boy and apparently think he is a boy who wants to be called a girl. Plus the teacher is promoting dangerous "wrong body" narratives.

They may have been told by the teachers.

If children can’t tell then why is the teacher trying to explain that the boy is a girl? It makes no sense to suggest no one knows.

The thing is, there are activists for this movement, proselytising their fringe gendered soul belief, in all sectors. There are plenty of activist teachers which is why the government had to set the new guidelines.

Yeah, kids have been known from a very early age to be able to recognise the sexes.

They have.
As an adult, it's hard but not impossible to tell if a child dressed in neutral clothing is male or female. The boy in my DS year (Y2) whose mum decided he was a girl dressed in girl school uniform but his mannerisms and way of moving (socialised or genetic, who can say) more powerfully and slightly more aggressively still marked him out as a boy. My DD, two years younger, couldn't tell, though I did let her know when he turned up in after school club with her.

Children can distinguish male and female adults and will say things like "my teacher dresses like a lady but has a big head" because they know something is out, but not quite what it's wrong.

That sex is imprinted in every single cell in his body and is immutable ? And that the sex of a child can be recognised without recourse to their genitalia. My two year old grandson is a little boy. He looks and acts like a little boy. If we put him in a dress and flowery bonnet his sex would still be identifiable - he’d look like a little boy in a dress and flowery bonnet.

Teaching young children not to believe what they see with their own eyes is basically gaslighting, and this teacher is ignoring/breaching guidelines put in place to safeguard young children, in favour of pushing their own agenda. You don’t find that concerning ?

@Rosscameasdoody I think it's fair to say that you would know but it's unlikely most children of the same age or older would clock it. For a start, they think a boy can grow up to be a woman.

Well do you want to explain how a child decides they’re ’born in the wrong body’?

Only because they have been told this by trusted adults. I mean, children thst age still believe Santa is real because adults tell them he is.

Explain to me how being gay is anything like being transgender ? How is it anything to do with sexual preference ?

It’s not going to stop. Also, intelligent people respect others and don’t care what they do so long as they’re kind to others.

Why do you care what other people do? Try caring less, it’s hardly worth exhausting yourself over! 😂

Intelligent people understand that the norms we set for society need to be based on factual foundations and need to consider the needs of all involved.

How is it helping this child to pretend that they are somehow actually the opposite sex when everyone knows that this is not the case?

Why do you care what other people do? Try caring less, it’s hardly worth exhausting yourself over! 😂

The poster quite literally told you why. Maybe try reading and understanding instead of reaching for the laughing emojis.
