school trans issues

[Motheroffeminists]

Name changed but fairly regular poster with other threads on the issue of my DD's school.
It appears, with no great surprise, that DD's teacher thinks my views on the trans trend being toxic, based on harmful gender stereotypes, denying science, and being harmful to children, especially girls, are wrong. I also raised the safeguarding issues.
The teacher is a member of the LGBTQ+ team so perhaps they have to be seen as towing the party line.
Positive outcome for DD is that trans is not due to be discussed and she can be removed from future sessions that will discuss it. This will make her stand out like a sore thumb though.

Is this how things are are will forevermore be?

For gods sake, we can respect people’s practices but we don’t need to indulge in the details and certainly don’t need to agree with it.

It’s respectful enough to mind our own business.. do we really need to celebrate everyone’s choices to be deemed respectful !!

I would certainly teach my kids to respect all humans and mind their own business about people’s choices but I would certainly not expect them to “celebrate” things that they don’t agree with...

I share your concerned OP. I think this is being pushed on the new generation and it’s quite toxic

Dd says everyone can love whoever they want to love and it's no one else's business so she'd agree with you.,
She's a keen scientist so any you can change sex stuff will be dismissed by her instantly.
I think she'd end up in detention if she did attend those sessions.

Ds(8) dismissed the sex change stuff when we discussed last (proud GC mama moment), but then after a long pause, says but it's different from the other thing.... like when you are a boy but everyone thinks you are a girl when you are born. Because here you're actually a boy just everyone thinks you're a girl.

Cue start another discussion but his eyes started glazing over and so I put a few questions for him to think but let it go.

And yet so little taught about misogyny, sexism or respecting girl’s boundaries. Huge problems in our society, including schools.

Does she have any friends sympathetic to the cause? Perhaps they could attend the sessions together and ask a lot of questions?

Might be more effective than leaving if she is able to do that.
