And isn’t it even more interesting that those same gcs would be willing to throw the L, the G and the B under the bus, just to get at the T?

What, instead of throwing the L, G and B under the bus so they can enjoy the funding that comes from supporting the T - like most LGBT organisations seem to be doing, these days?

Who would sign a petition where you can't even see the material that the petition is referring to? How can you expect to go to parliament with a petition when you haven't even said what it is you are objecting to?

And if its so blatantly anti LGBT why not link to it and allow people to read for themselves? Is it because its not actually anti LGBT at all? (Whatever this mysterious 'material' is....?)

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 14/08/2018 10:18

R0wantrees, thanks for that link.

WarmWishes · 14/08/2018 10:51

@Delendaest will you ever come back and let us know which the material you are referring to? Those of us with LGBTQ kids are even if we haven't have a right to know, what is allegedly happening.

Delendaest · 14/08/2018 17:40

Hello, warmwishes This is a general petition against any and all anti LGBT+ material in schools. The suggestions colleagues have offered thus far have been very helpful (even if that were not the intent) and will be shared with the politicians etc who support this petition. So do, please, keep on making those suggestions.

@Delendaest thanks for your response. What makes you think the petition is warranted? Is there something you can link to, to help me understand?

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 14/08/2018 18:00

This is a general petition against any and all anti LGBT+ material in schools.

Can you give some examples of:
anti L
anti G
anti B and
anti T

please.

Thanks in advance.

"This is a general petition against any and all anti LGBT+ material in schools."
What the fuck does that mean? Are you really expecting people to sign a pig in a poke like that?

Hangingaroundtheportal · 14/08/2018 18:07

This is a general petition against any and all anti LGBT+ material in schools.

No, I don't think you get how this stuff works.

You have to actually reference material and explain exactly how it is anti LGBT (and + of course 🙄). You can't expect people (well people with any critical thinking skills anyway) to sign a petition when you aren't telling them what material they are signing about.

If this petition were to get to Parliament, what materials would be being referenced? You can't sign a petition without knowing that!

BertrandRussell · 14/08/2018 18:11

Examples please.

WarmWishes · 14/08/2018 18:42

With the greatest of respect, I can't understand why anyone would create a petition vs. something which 'might' happen, surely it should be vs something which 'is' happening.

There are so many things that might happen in school, I could write petitions all day and let my imagination run riot.

If this is happening in my school, I would like to know, so please link me to some examples so that I can investigate and if necessary take action at a grass roots level. If you can't do this, then don't waste our time with nonsense.

paintedwingsandgiantrings · 14/08/2018 18:54

@Delendaest so, is this a petition against promoting affirmation for trans children in schools then?

I ask as many people have serious concerns that the affirmation model is essentially anti-LGB - effectively LGB conversion therapy.

Delendaest · 18/08/2018 12:34

It’s really not hard, people. You are in favour of anti LGBT+ material in schools, or you are not. I find myself surprised that mums - you are all mums, no? - could find this a hard choice. Are you really all so young that you have forgotten Section 28?

OP posts:
WarmWishes · 18/08/2018 12:44

@Delendaest do you know what seems to be really, really, really hard?

You citing the material.

WarmWishes · 18/08/2018 12:45

Do you know what else gets really, really, really hard?

Hint....things that have no place in a women's changing room.

Delendaest · 18/08/2018 12:47

Ok, don’t take my word for it. Have a look at this. lovewiseonline.org . But be warned. It has had teacher friends of mine in tears.

Ooh you are back.

anti T

please.

Thanks in advance.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 18/08/2018 13:00

Delendaest. Could you just confirm for me that you personally believe that the Transgender Trend schools guidance is not anti LGBT in any way?

malaguena · 18/08/2018 13:01

Come on mummies with your tiny baby brains, stop arguing and sign the bloody petition! If you don't sign you are ignorant bigoted monsters and the WORST mummies ever!

Alternatively, consider that this website has a high concentration of very educated and well informed women. A link to a shitty petition won't cut it. Maybe start again when you are able to form a reasonable argument.

WarmWishes · 18/08/2018 13:02

I've had a look through and I haven't got all day but in the schools resources section I see no reference to LGBT at all and therefore nothing that implies conversion policy, which is specifically mentioned in the petition.

WarmWishes · 18/08/2018 13:05

So can you link the lgbt conversion policy agenda in that link?

I personally don't think it is that organisation which is getting your knickers in a twist. Do can you let us know which one is really upsetting you?

PositivelyPERF · 18/08/2018 20:06

are all mums, no?

No, I’m not. That means I can give an opinion. sticks tongue out at all the silly mummies that shouldn’t have an opinion

paintedwingsandgiantrings · 18/08/2018 20:11

It’s really not hard, Delendaest. You are either in favour of pro-T material in schools that's anti-LG or you are not.

Which one is it?

Does it matter to you that some pro-Trans material is effectively promoting conversion therapy for gay kids?

Or do you not care?
