Grandad's Pride is being read on milkshake on channel 5 - not acceptable! AIBU

Milkshake story den.

Why are we reading books about pride, gender and drag to pre-school children.

No, trans men are trans men.

I see that your issue isn't just with the explicit outfits in the book, and actually that you don't accept trans people at all?

That's trans-phobic.

OMG that is so insanely weird. I cannot believe we have got to to this. I know I am old but JESUS F-ING CHRIST

I think the TRA movement is missing a massive opportunity by not providing bondage gear and drag queen outfits for pre-school dressing up boxes. They could get some real drag queens and BDSM enthusiasts to help the kiddies dress up. It’s just inclusivity after all.

those poor kids - so so horrible

I don't really know how anyone could look at th illustrations of the man in bdsm leather gear and think it was OK for children??
We (society) used to know this didn't we? What has changed and why?
There is no reason that would benefit any child.
The only possible people who will benefit from the breaking down of such boundaries are people with sexual interest in children. This is very worrying indeed. And it's being normalised on channel 5's preschool programming!
WTAF?!

No, trans men are trans men.

I see that your issue isn't just with the explicit outfits in the book, and actually that you don't accept trans people at all?

That's trans-phobic.

It's not transphobia, it's the truth

We (society) used to know this didn't we? What has changed and why?

And who's behind it?

More reason to stop relying on media companies to parent children.

Good question . . .

YANBU.

MAP is an abbreviation for 'Minor Attracted Person' ie a paedophile.

A coincidence the word MAP pops up on a page with a picture of a child, a rainbow flag and the words 'Love is Love?'

Perhaps. But with the bondage gear and everything else I'm not so sure.

It's your truth, this thread is being reported.

That fetish gear is so wrong to be targeting children. I’m sure they wouldn’t show the A to Z of sex or a programme where they pop to the shops and take the children to Ann Summers. This sort of BDSM gear would be in the do not enter unless over 18 section so I don’t see why it is only deemed acceptable to show children when trans etc is involved.

I'm as tolerant as they come but pictures of people in fetish gear for children? Bloody hell no. That is just terrible.

Reported for stating facts you don’t like? Or for pointing out a highly inappropriate book shouldn’t be read to preschoolers?

That’s absolutely disgraceful. Completely inappropriate. Whoever thought that was acceptable is sick.

@SapphosRock omg that MAP reference. That seems very deliberate. Really scary what children are being subjected to.

The cynic in me doesn't think it's a coincidence

Of course it's not a coincidence

Amen to this! I really feel for parents of youngsters just now having to navigate this bullshit…I had no issue with education my kids about homosexuality…some boys like girls, Some boys like boys etc and that’s ok, but this gender stuff is so damaging

This book is disgusting. I emailed the publisher to complain about the content, and got no response. They can't defend it, I don't care what side of the argument your on regarding trans people sexuality etc but some things are highly inappropriate and downright disgusting to show children. I believe the person that wrote this is a pervert, even more convinced after that screenshot SapphosRock

If it looks like a duck, and talks like a duck…

I agree with you op

Would it be ok for Biff and Chip's parents to wear the bondage/ fetish outfits ?

Do we know they're anatomically intact?
