I have a question on this, can a parent ask their child to be removed from the class when this is being taught?

Bigots never think they are bigots. Let’s just hope the next generation does better than this one.

Amongstthetallgrass · 09/04/2019 13:06

No problem what so ever about the LGT. We have lesbians in our family. It’s our way of life. It’s completly normal.

However if want to read all material concerned with the T as my kids are not joining the farcical Trans train thanks

Happyspud · 09/04/2019 13:11

Transphobia, alive and well as always.

SarahTancredi · 09/04/2019 13:13

Do you think same sex relationships and single sex spaces and not imposing stereotypes on children are transphobic then?

S1naidSucks · 09/04/2019 13:41

Brainwashed never think they’re brainwashed.
Let’s just hope the next generation wakens up soon.

I never understand why all of this stuff about gender and sexuality is seen as difficult to talk to children about. Have you not had the conversation where you tell them that one day everyone they love will die? My god both my kids were traumatised for days. Younger one was talking about how when I died he was going to keep my body forever Grin Human relationships are really not difficult.

SarahTancredi · 09/04/2019 13:51

Because gender is harmful

It takes perfectly normal things like dressing up and playing with toys and turns them into some kind of diagnostic tool where kids have to "pick sides"

SarahTancredi · 09/04/2019 13:53

And because gender and sexuality cant co exist if gender is seen as the defining criteria for man and woman. Boy and girl.

Happy MN will delete transphobia (you know, genuine transphobia, demonstrating an irrational fear or hatred of trans people) if you report the posts you think are transphobic.

It would be great if you could add a little more to this debate than single sentences.

Who’s brainwashed?

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 09/04/2019 15:19

Those who think it's possible to change sex?

shrunkenhead · 09/04/2019 15:26

My dd when she was 5 came home from school and said Jemima (not real name) says women can't marry women and men can't marry men....but that's wrong isn't it, mummy, they can? And I said, yes, they can. That was about it as far as gay marriage went and she's not asked any further questions since...I think that's about the extent of sex ed in the early years of Primary/KS1 tbh....nothing that you'd want to remove your kids from really!

S1naidSucks · 09/04/2019 16:50

Who’s brainwashed?, as a previous poster states, anyone who believes that people can change sex.

That being a woman is no more than a feeling, a cock can belong to a female, a person with a cock can be a lesbian, being trans makes males less likely to cause violence or sexual assault because ‘lady feelze’, people can be born in ‘the wrong body’, that women do not have the right to say “no!” to sharing female spaces with people with cocks, that parents have no right to know if their daughters are sharing sleeping accommodation with people with cocks when away with guilds (no longer GIRL guides as they accept the TRA’s definition of ‘women’, who can volunteer and self identifying ‘girls’ can join, that sexually violent people who identify as women should be permitted to be in female jails, etc etc.

Do you like the word 'cock'. You use it a lot. Hmm

SarahTancredi · 09/04/2019 17:29

Those who cant see the racism in it all are pretty brainwashed to.

Those pesky foreign men cant he trusted so charities have to fight for single sex loos. White men however are paragons of virtue and must he allowed to pee next to little girls for inclusivity.Hmm

All those brown women who slice their childs private parts are barbaric. But white women who give medication to stunt the development of their childs body, leave their kids sterile and even take them abroad to remove organs completely well that's all just brave and stunning and progressive Hmm

After all their kids are just being their true selves .

Would you prefer the term ‘lady dick’? That’s quite a popular one in certain circles.

SleepingSloth · 09/04/2019 18:27

I think you should move away from your screen and chill for a while.

Why? Absolutely everything I’ve said is factual. Maybe if you spent a little more time researching, you’d understand the issues. I have absolutely no issues with genuine transsexuals, who have traditionally lived their lives quietly and without causing difficulties for women and children. I do have issues with some others that are included under the Stonewall umbrella.

I do understand the issues. But you sound like you are ranting in your last post. It's up to you but I don't think it healthy to be so obsessed with any particular issue. Not everyone will share your view point, ranting and using the word cock multiple times in a post isn't going to convince anyone.

S1naidSucks · 09/04/2019 19:31

I’m using the term ‘person/people with a cock’ because I can’t say men, in case I’m accused of misgendering or all the other accusations that get thrown if you don’t swallow the TRA’s narrative. I can change it to penis, if that makes you happy?

SleepingSloth · 09/04/2019 19:38

You can do whatever you want if mumsnet don't have a issue with it. I just don't think ranting helps.

S1naidSucks · 09/04/2019 19:40

I’m not ranting! I’m stating facts. Since when has stating facts been ranting? Good grief!

newtlover · 09/04/2019 19:54

Sarah, that's an interesting insight about the racism
can also apply to FGM/vulval cosmetic surgery

Hitchyhero · 09/04/2019 20:08

But you are renting @S1naidSucks

However you may feel about Trans people, please remember that there may be some trans people on this forum and your tone doesn't help.

As the end of the day these people are human with emotions and feelings, they are just like you and I, and you having your snowflake rant doesn't contribute anything towards the topic.

If you have got something to say, say it better

waytooyoungforthis · 09/04/2019 20:14

I agree sarah that’s not a point of considered before but your spot on.
