Trans/pride flag in children's stickers

[timeforacoffeebreak]

This was included in a pack of squishmallow stickers... why???
AIBU or is this totally wrong ??

Did I write this?

Well said.

What scares you? That your child will experience a more accepting and open world where they can express who they are freely without ridicule, shame, guilt? It’s like saying that children shouldn’t be exposed to stereotypical gender roles and be educated about misogyny. Both groups are oppressed just one fought for equality earlier.

Being gay used to be defined as a mental health issue -it is now recognised how harmful and wrong that was.

being trans used to be defined as a mental health issue- it is now recognised by most scientists and health professionals (as well as the trans community of course) that that was similarly harmful and wrong,

Experiencing Gender dysphoria (gender related distress) - is not the same as being trans, although it can be , of course , related. There is a huge debate as to whether it should be classified as a mental health disorder or not.

it's incredibly disrespectful to compare it to being gay which is as hard-wired as being straight.
what makes you claim that being gay is “hard wired” but being trans isn’t?

I wouldn't want my child to accept males into her safe spaces, or to be told she's perhaps not a girl if she's struggling with puberty.
Why would you?

I am assuming that the poster was referring to a few years ago rather then the good old gay bashing 70s/80s.

Aw, bless you for thinking homophobia is over.

@Tandora I'm beginning to think you don't care about female children, prove me wrong, answer my questions from earlier in the thread.

Why doesn't the 'be kind' 'right side of history' movement care about the fact that female children are being forced to give up single sex toilets, changing rooms and other single sex spaces like dormitories on residentials, and sports because some male children identify as trans? Why doesn't the dignity and safety of female children matter to your movement?

What solution does 'the right side of history' give to female children who don't want to or can't share with males who identify as girls?

What solution does it give to girls who want to excel at sports and don't want to compete against male children?

I would really appreciate your response to this because it's rich to imply that concerned mothers of girls are bigots whilst failing to address reasonable concerns.

Now it's coming from inside the house.

your comment is ignorant because they aren’t males, trans women are women. If my little girl is ‘struggling’ with puberty I’d do whatever it takes to help her find who she is and feel confident in her skin, including gender exploration

What scares you? That your child will experience a more accepting and open world where they can express who they are freely without ridicule, shame, guilt?

How much fear of other people's ridicule, shame and guilt is your own fertility worth? Or even being able to pee without pain?

I'm scared that my child will experience a world that is open and accepting of them doing something stupid and destructive to themselves and that will subject them to ridicule, shame and guilt if they try to call it for what it is.

It really saddens me, to be honest. I was sure, when I was a young woman, that things would be better for my daughters. But they're not, they're worse and worst of all, some women are making it happen.

Help me with this, how are trans women NOT males?

Do you think that they change sex? At what point does this happen? When they say they 'feel like a woman' or put women's clothes or lipstick on? Or something else?

I'm just wondering if you are confused because human beings cannot change sex no matter how much they wish it to be true.

Fingers crossed she's the only girl who has ever, or will ever, live who doesn't struggle with puberty then, if you're going to use that as a reason to trans her.

ahh... you have finally found some evidence then? About the treatments for children and adolescents?

Can you please post it for us all to see? Because I recall your continued posts about people being ignorant and you had absolutely nothing to back up your own statements.

Looking forward to it. I am sure many on this thread are also looking forward to you finally posting that robust evidence you keep talking about.

Bit of a strawman here (cis strawperson pronoun: he/she?)

Nobody is saying children should not experience a more accepting and open world where they can express who they are freely without ridicule, shame, guilt. People are however very wary of an ideology that labels kids who are non gender conforming as ‘trans’ and that they should be non consensually marshalled down an irreversible path of medical invention off the back of a single 45 minute consultation with a non impartial ‘gender affirming’ consultant while ignoring the fact that said child might be nurodiverse or thought that last week they were a power ranger.

Accusing another poster of ignorance then going on to say trans women are women. They aren't, they are biological males as if they weren't 'trans' wouldn't exist.

Live in your own emperor's new clothes pseudo reality world all you like, just don't force it on others and don't throw away their rights for them.

Women don't have a penis.
.
If being, "on the right side of history", means supporting men committing indecent exposure around my daughter, then I'm happy to not be on it.

Why do you want yours to see a penis in the women's changing rooms?

GIDS at Tavistock has not closed down.

The closing down and opening of new clinics have been put on hold.

Meanwhile some of the 'medics' who did work there have set up their own private clinic, giving out Puberty Blockers and Cross Sex Hormones, which are being prescribed by a nurse with the authority to do so. To speed up the process of child sterilisation. Because the GIDS closing and opening up of new clinics has resulted in thousands of kids on waiting lists. [GenderPlus they call themselves]

The second issue with all of this is that the children who have already been pushed through the system were analysed by Hannah Barnes, with a high proportion of kids who were either gay, lesbian, autistic or both, or who have had high levels of sexual abuse, or who are in care or, the most shocking, who have parents who are 10 times as likely to be sex offenders. [Read Time to Think by Hannah Barnes if you aren't up to speed on this @Tandora ]

Shouting at people who say that parents should not be 'transing the gay away', or 'transing autistic kids' and calling them 'transphobic' as a means to shut them down, and it is not working. Because if we have to be called 'transphobes' to be against kids being sterilised and put on paths to mutilation, then who really cares what we are called?

Sticking TRANS stickers in Kids stickers is pretty much the same as when Mermaids used to go to PRIDE events, with sweets and puppies to attract the kids. For info, Susie Green the ex CEO of Mermaids is the one who put her son on puberty blockers bought from the USA, and who took him to Thailand to have his [now tiny] penis removed and a fake vagina made for him, all because his dad didn't want a gay son.

Could you also please post the evidence to support your statement here that people can change sex so that males who call themselves 'transgender' are no longer male people?

Because there seems to be quite a lot of misinformation being posted on this thread and that is indeed very harmful to children and adolescents.

Do you have any?

If trans women are women, then which one of these teens is a man in his 50s? I just cannot work it out. Can you help?

Indeed. There is an extremely good reason Mermaids have run away from Twitter / X, where the grown ups would not stop pointing that out; and are now concentrating on TikTok, where that awful Irish frankendoctor advertises her uninsured 'yeet the teets' butchery to American minors.

No child is being given irreversible medical intervention after a 45 minute consultation in the UK.
