Just reading about this now on Transgender Trend. Attendant wrote account immediately after attending last night. This is absolutely grim and links up a lot of stuff that's been covered here and on GC Twitter in the last week or two. Queer theory, porn, BDSM all linked into gender identity and the proponents think this is all suitable to discuss with children.

It's quite a graphic account, be warned.

Read it. Grim. Why would anyone think it should have anything to do with children?

Design a youth takeover of Hayward Gallery with other people aged 13 – 17 in a three-week project. Be part of the team who decide what our Youth Takeover Night of current Hayward Gallery exhibition Kiss My Genders looks like by exploring and drawing inspiration from the exhibition itself.

Based on what I've read so far, no minor child of mine would be going anywhere near this, far less spending three weeks thinking about it.

A photo of a man holding his erect penis, 'looners' (balloon fetishists) and an installation which sounds like a gang rape scene? How is this relevant to primary school teachers or appropriate for kids aged 13? How?

JackyHolyoake · 14/06/2019 21:22

This exhibition is grooming people to accommodate male sexual perversion.

If you haven't caught on to how this "genderist" ideology is a men's sexual rights movement this account of the exhibition will explain it to you.

truthisarevolutionaryact · 14/06/2019 21:26

This is grooming in plain sight - and just like the NSPCC debacle, uses public money to groom children and erode their boundaries. I don't have a problem with the exhibition itself - freedom of expression, art, exploring sexuality / identity etc. But I have every problem in the fucking world with adult organisations like Gendered Intelligence and the Hayward deliberately targeting children of any age with this stuff

What are they thinking? So pleased that a number of the teachers raised the issue of safeguarding with them.

PlatypusPie · 14/06/2019 21:27

Balloon fetishists ?? Honestly, wtf. I give up. Every bloody weird thing possible ( or unfeasible ) is being normalised for the benefit of nobody but perverts. Ugh.

WhereAreWeNow · 14/06/2019 21:41

How can we complain about this? I'm really angry that kids are being encouraged to go to this exhibition. What we're the Hayward thinking?!

Needmoresleep · 14/06/2019 21:46

Complaint to the local Council (Lambeth)? Not sure who, but arent councils responsible for licensing sex shops etc.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 14/06/2019 21:48

From the webpage about the project it's pretty clear that the Hayward are expecting a lot of the 13 - 17 yo attendees to be kids with some degree of gender confusion. Given what we know about the overlap with autistic spectrum disorder, experience of abuse, pre-existing mental health conditions, three weeks thinking about graphic sexual images really doesn't seem likely to be a good idea.

Heywood comes under the Southbank Centre. No obvious contact but twitter is mobile.twitter.com/southbankcentre?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

littlbrowndog · 14/06/2019 21:55

It’s disgusting. They said they don’t have any age restrictions

Men with metal spikes up their arses. Rape scenes.

No boundaries for kids anymore

Needmoresleep · 14/06/2019 22:01

Surely they need a license.

Lambeth guidance

www.lambeth.gov.uk/business-services-rates-and-licensing/licence-applications/sex-establishment-licences-guide

Without a doubt any such license would include age restrictions.

Trailer for Jenkin van Zyl's Looners .

Critics seem to love it - but again, how is this appropriate for school kids?

SisterWendyBuckett · 14/06/2019 22:07

I am sick of this. It is very hard to take much more.

I loathe Gendered Intelligence. I despise what they're feeding to children and how they're infiltrating so many youth organisations with their queer theory bullshit.

It's unbelievable how so many teachers and educators are falling for it and cannot see the safeguarding issues.

ThePurported · 14/06/2019 22:28

From the teacher's report:

"What is the difference between sex and gender?

Again we discussed this in pairs and then had corrections from Dex. Dex explained that doctors “diagnose sex”.

Then a slide which stated “only male and female” is a key cultural assumption and that 1 in 100 people are intersex

Dex then related that he is currently mentoring a 9 year old child in a school, following the school requesting help from Gendered Intelligence. Dex has 1-to-1 sessions with the child as the child said they wanted someone to talk to. Dex had recently asked the child if they wanted to continue the sessions in the new term, to which the child said that they were “confused” about how to answer this. Which was an answer which Dex clearly was disappointed with as his voice dropped a note, though in a moment of rare self-reflection he did also acknowledge that some kids do change their minds."

So Dex from Gendered Intelligence, who believes that doctors 'diagnose' sex, is training teachers and mentoring 9-year-olds.
Ffs.

sackrifice · 14/06/2019 22:44

Can we have a recount of all the people on here who were banned for mentioning that paedophilia is the end game?

OvaHere · 14/06/2019 23:13

Fucking hell. There are no adequate words for this.

I would call the NSPCC but well....

LangCleg · 14/06/2019 23:38

Queer theory is a pestilence.

Yeahnahyeah · 14/06/2019 23:43

The surreal thing is any complaints about this will most likely be labelled Twanspobia.

R0wantrees · 14/06/2019 23:50

So Dex from Gendered Intelligence, who believes that doctors 'diagnose' sex, is training teachers and mentoring 9-year-olds.

Dex & Gendered Intelligence should not be involved with children or influencing schools & teachers.

Gendered Intelligence do not understand Safeguarding
Dex does not understand biology or the importance of factual information & accurate language.

Twitter for the gallery:
mobile.twitter.com/haywardgallery

I’ve googled but all I find of the south bank centre (the parent organisation of this particular gallery) around it’s safeguarding policy online, is amazingly light on detail:

www.southbankcentre.co.uk/visit/your-safety

‘Our Safeguarding Policy
We believe that everyone has the right to live free from abuse of any kind. We have a responsibility to keep children and adults, including vulnerable adults, safe and we are committed to protecting children and adults in all of our activities. We will do everything in our power to ensure children and adults who come into contact with Southbank Centre, in any capacity, are safeguarded. This policy applies to all trustees, employees, volunteers, contractors, artists, promoters, agents, freelancers, visitors and those who hire our spaces.’

That’s literally all that seems to be available, online at least. Confused
But anyway I wonder what their detailed safeguarding plans are around the involvement that the gallery are planning for young people, children and vulnerable adults with this show?

Birdsfoottrefoil · 15/06/2019 00:29

I would say Dex doesn’t understand boundaries but I think he does...

Or kink shaming for all the difference there is between the two nowadays
