11YO DD has told us she's pansexual

Not massively concerned about it, whether she is or she isn't, but just wondering if there's a book I can give her about being yourself, growing up, feelings and emotions, etc. She's be 12 in 3 weeks time.

No, what we should be doing is ensuring public health administration systems aren’t being co opted by political ideologies, placing vulnerable children at additional risk.

(Whilst also letting the scientists get on with it)

Which bring us back to the original topic - keeping kids safe is far more important than being PC.

It could be argued that being more PC IS what's keeping kids safe :)

DuMondeB · 14/06/2019 12:40

Have you not seen any of the current NSPCC threads?

Safeguarding has fallen WAY out of fashion.

Damntheman · 14/06/2019 12:46

I don't know enough about that story to comment. But I do know enough to not judge an entire sub-group of people on the actions of a few. Particularly not when that sub-group is a vulnerable minority.

But donations are already recorded by "gender" (which used to mean sex). It's hardly "sweeping change" to say "btw, we understand the word "gender" no longer means "sex" to a lot of people, but that's how we're using it on this form". Going from "not categorising" to "categorising" might be a big change, but going from "categorising incorrectly" to "categorising correctly" isn't.

DuMondeB · 14/06/2019 12:50

The vulnerable group the NSPCC is designated to protect is children.

OK please come over to FWR and discuss this with us damntheman because I promise you nobody is judging all of anybody on anything, we are concerned about policy being introduced by lobbyists with questionable motivations and political interests in the name of certain groups which we believe undermine the rights and safety of lots of people including the people those groups claim to represent.

LenizarLyublyu · 14/06/2019 13:02

Pansexual is attracted to men women, trans people and non binary people.

Trans people and Non-Binary people are still either men or women, adult human makes or females, so pansexual is a redundant term.

SkintAsASkintThing · 14/06/2019 13:09

Oh they're all Bi / pan / colander at the mo.

Just smile and nod.

howwudufeel · 14/06/2019 13:13

My DS’s friend cam out as bi aged 12. My DS had a similar reaction to Raging’s dd.

I went off to do some work and have come back to find we have a burgeoning Northern Nana media campaign! Grin

lucymegan · 14/06/2019 13:19

Jesus Christ! I'd be shutting that shit down.

IfNot · 14/06/2019 13:32

Oh. I've also come back to find my post of 10.57 was deleted...does anyone know why?

Was it because I said pan sexual and bi sexual are the same cos there's only 2 sexes? Is saying there are 2 sexes offensive?
Or was it cos I said dicks and fannies? Or what?
How did my post contravene the following guidelines? Confused

No personal attacks
No posts that break the law
No trolling, misleading or deliberately inflammatory behaviour
No trollhunting
No spamming
?

DuMondeB · 14/06/2019 13:33

Nan says there are only two sexes. Dicky people and cunty people.

I think this needs an updated version ‘Nana says, people on Tumblr need brooming’

IfNot · 14/06/2019 13:41

😂

IfNot · 14/06/2019 13:43

Seriously MNHQ. I think my post was quite helpful. I'm not a goady poster...unlike some... I'm just realising OP has not come back!
Please explain. Ta very much.

IfNot · 14/06/2019 13:45

Or is opinionated the new goady now? No differing opinions on MN allowed. Fuck. It's not like the old days, when you could say men have cocks and women have fannies til the cows came home .

Alconleigh · 14/06/2019 13:50

Team Nana here. Also snorting at the whey faced blue hair brigade comment. Never has so much utter shite been proclaimed about sex by people having so little. I'd shagged about 60 people by my late twenties. Perhaps I had the time as I wasn't drearing on about my identity for 18 hours a day........

WhoWants2Know · 14/06/2019 13:57

I don't think I'd say "that's nice dear". Probably something like It's too young to be declaring herself any kind of sexuality.

TheAngryLlama · 14/06/2019 14:08

Mitford fan?

TheAngryLlama · 14/06/2019 14:08

That was to alconleigh btw.

carla1983 · 14/06/2019 14:19

How on earth would you know at age 11? I didn't know who I felt attracted to until around age 15. Maybe I was a late bloomer.

I would be restricting her internet access.
