The birds and the bees....

[ChristmassyContessaConSparkles]

I just bought this old-fashioned tome for my boys online (they are starting to say inappropriate things about bodies and I'd like to get ahead of the curve) and I came across this page.....

Remember when this wasn't decried as transphobic?

Transphobie, what about girl penises?

They are inexplicably not mentioned. Nor are male vaginas.

Shall I write to the publisher?

You need to report that publisher & scrub your mind of wrong think.

One mums’ group I was in on FB (not on FB anymore), the party line was “most boys have penises/most girls have vaginas”. This is what they were teaching their pre-schoolers. And they got lots of likes and progressive, woke appreciation for saying that. The most was definitely not to do with some surely very very rare child born without a penis/vagina. It was definitely to do with being seen to say the right thing.

I think it's safe to say I won't be doing that Wally I can certainly talk about dysphoria and how difficult that must be for the persons concerned, but I can't say 'Some girls have penises', I just can't.
