And a child who questioned it was asked to leave the classroom.
Aibu to want children to be left alone to enjoy their childhood?
As an adult I can't get my head around 73 genders.. How can a child process that? Year 7s, 11 years old.

Are these like super powers?!

I'm gonna get me some magic mushrooms and become "Caelgender: a gender that shares qualities with outer space or has the aesthetic of space, stars, nebulas, etc." 😂😂

Why have so many people utterly lost their minds over this issue? It's nonsense. Obviously nonsense.

Back in the day, people were given medication if they believed they were Napoleon or Jesus or a tablecloth or something. Now if you say this someone will fetch you a historically accurate French military uniform, a soapbox and robes and a fetching Ercol dining room set.

Leopardprintonsie · 08/03/2023 00:32

@Rainbowshit where is it going to end? How many kids will pump themselves up with hormones & butcher themselves because they didn't feel quite right.
What's going to happen down the line when they realise what a massive mistake they made.
The pharma companies won't care they've made their
money.

Whoever organised that class should be sacked.

Anything less would be literal violence, @stbrandonsboat

PearlClutzsche · 08/03/2023 00:46

@stbrandonsboat your alternative genders would blend in unnoticed on the "official" list.
In fact, they'd number amongst the less ridiculous there.

I voted YABU for giving that dscredited conspiracy theory site (formed by Toby Young) any headspace at all.

Where is it all going to end? They need to stay away from our children.

This is what happens when the mentally ill are given a platform to influence children. The children end up mentally ill. It’s not exactly rocket science.

Agreed.
There is an extremely dangerous individual on tiktok who goes by the name of Jeremy Marsh.
He tells young kids to DM him so he can tell them how to go NC with their parents, how their parents don't have the right to tell them what to do and to tell their parents to fuck off if they do.
He also tells them that they're within their rights to demand a sex change, that having sex as a child is normal etc.
He is one sick and dangerous individual.

This navel-gazing obsession with defining yourself as something oh-so-different and special was obnoxious enough before they started trying to brainwash innocent children. People have a hard enough time knowing right from wrong and truth from fiction without agenda-driven schools and activist teachers intentionally misinforming them on the most basic facts.

Going ‘NC’ is a big thing on the internet, isn’t it? You read it all the time on here.

People are being manipulated to hate their parents. Children for obvious nefarious reasons, but not just children. I shudder to think where all this will end up.

bugsinmybrain · 08/03/2023 03:11

Can't we just be people?

With biological sex used to define things when necessary? Like sports that clearly need separation for safety and fairness

And minus the harmful stereotypes- nobody needs a pink screwdriver bc they're a woman or can't have one bc they're a man

I agree, but getting young kids at 5-6 years old to DM him so he can tell them that it's fine to go NC with their parents and tell them to fuck off if they speak to you is beyond the pale.
Then filling their heads with demanding their right to be known as anything but the sex they are because there is no such thing as boys and girls, you're only a boy or girl because your parents have brainwashed you into believing that from birth, and again telling parents / adults to fuck off if they disagree is dangerous.
He also loves telling women how they should feel when having their period, and how we should offer men tampons in case they need one, after all we would offer a female friend in need one!
He's deranged as well as dangerous.

I'm furious tbh. Let children be innocent for as long as possible. They are trying their hardest to introduce transgender education to all primary schools in Ireland.

The citizen assembly recommended changes to the Constitution to bring in what they term 'gender equality', which is being put to a referendum in November. This will be enshrined in the education system. But the slight problem is that article 40 to 44 of the Constitution are sexed based not gender based or just 'person' based with no reference to gender required. The wording of any amendment is going to be interesting. Gender has no definition in the Irish Constitution but are we saying there are going to be 100s of genders recognised. And whatever you think of him, Enoch Burke has brought this to the forefront of people's minds for the first time in Ireland.

Yes, myself and most women I know walk around randomly offering each other tampons. When we aren’t doing each others makeup and having pillow fights in our underwear of course. I’d never heard of him before now and I wish I could rewind the clock five minutes, it’s too early to have read that!
