Ah, YouTube

[8DaysAWeek]

Is it just me who finds this video
... Wrong? Are they actually encouraging children to get involved in a major political consultation while almost encouraging them to question their own gender?

Hi OP. This was posted on a thread earlier. The general view, if I remember correctly, was exactly as you state. I found it really disturbing. And those f*ing stupid ears to make him look all cutesy, just horrible.

Apologies, must have missed it! Thanks for the reply. Glad the general consensus was as such.

It is very disturbing. This company is also going into primary schools, I made a thread about it earlier in the year after they had been into ours.

The first I heard about it was when my DS came home with a badge. I'm not clear exactly what they covered with the children or whether it went beyond L&G awareness.

I would liked to have known upfront about the content and it strikes me as odd considering we had to give written parental permission for our children to watch PG movies at the end of term yet they can bring in outside lobby orgs and not even mention it.

We were all made aware of the topics to be covered in yr 6 PSHE but I think it's a big failure when parents are not informed about outside orgs.

Oh wow ova I would not have been happy with that at all. This is really worrying.

Even if the schools check over the content and deem it suitable (and I have doubts about how many do due diligence and just take the companies on face value) are they telling every school child to follow us on Youtube?

If so then they have a captive audience for videos like the one above which is probably not part of what is used during the school based sessions.

Well, as Paris Lees said to Nick Robinson, 'this should now be a paediatric issue'.

I've just had my mind blown. I cannot believe this video. In full disclosure I'm not a mum, and I don't live in the UK at the moment, so I'm late to this whole discussion and things like this are just unbelievable. Wow.

Wow, that is frightening.

Its awful. Animal ears and unicorns shouldn't be part of these discussions.

Never mind that, the blatant lie that "if you are non-trans then the changes won't affect you at all". Playing on the fact that it's easier to say this than explain the real, disturbing dangers that women will inevitably face. Can't stick a unicorn on those.

...goes to show how little coverage there is on any of this on the BBC, with that being my main news source over here.

Even many of us in the UK (myself included,) have only relatively recently found out about this.

Earlier thread and discussion (> 100 posts):

I would actually check very closely into that group. There was a group of trans in america who offered their services to schools, to go in and talk about "consent". This was young? children, I believe.

Come to find out, they brought dildos and gave demonstrations on anal sex using dolls, and also encouraged the kids to believe that it was okay to keep secrets from one's parents.

I do not believe that most trans are pedophiles etc but since they let anybody under their umbrella, then they've made it easy for any weirdo to claim to be trans and use that as an excuse to access children.
