ffs.

Honestly, gay parents, whatever cool great, but children being trans? Seriously. No. Stop it.

Just leave toddlers alone ffs, let them be children and stop trying to force feed them ideology like some stereotype pushing cult.

I'm also sick of adoption being promoted. What if the adoption industry dries up, where would gay men get their babies from?

It is brainwashing the next generation.

twicemummy1 - I assume you are talking about adoption in the US? Adoption in the UK is very different

@Throckmorton I lived over a decade in Japan. Japanese people refuse to adopt because they won't invest in a child that is not genetically theirs. What floored me, was to realize that where there is no demand for adoption, there is very little supply. So Japan isn't suffering from a crisis of overflowing carehomes for children. Quite the opposite. It's very clear to me that any country that caters to the adoption industry is catering to the demand of people who wish to adopt. Older women who left it too late, and now gay men.
Most Japanese women don't bother having children anymore, they've got too much to lose and nothing to gain

@Throckmorton The UK very much caters to the demands of the adoption market.
Feminists should be fighting for police to remove perpetrators of domestic violence from homes. Instead the kids and babies get removed , to go on to be adopted, and the poor mother is left with the batterer in her home -- and no kids. It was explained to me that social services don't have the power to remove the batterer, only the power to remove the children. Well that seems to me to be a feminist crisis and a major priority for us.
Added to that, there's the fact that mothers who might be struggling financially or emotionally don't get the help they need to keep their babies.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? When did feminists get that much power?

And what about when both parents are unfit, or when the woman actively chooses to stay with her abusive partner - it's not ethical to leave the kids to be abused, so why shouldn't they be adopted? Better than a series of foster homes or life in care.

I'm assuming you know a lot about adoption in the USA, twicemummy1, but seems you don't know as much about the situation here in the UK.

Yep, they just don’t mention the bit where Stella changes her mind post drugs and surgery and wonders why the hell her parents didn’t step in and support her. After all, all the positive and affirming cartoons they showed her told her it was a good idea. That and the PHSE at school really did reinforce her belief. Now she doesn’t know what to do seeing as she can’t undo the damage to her body. This sort of stuff needs to be legislated against this is indoctrination you are right O.P.

I have decided I need to respond to this, as an objecting member, in writing, but only swear words come out when I try to extrapolate.

Anyone able to help?

Hiw about this- Hi I object to part of your LGBT story session in that the current indoctrination of children in the U.K. into the trans ideology is damaging to their mental and physical health. Your story doesn’t tell the full story of Stella’s path to Stuart. Stella doesn’t for instance understand the concept of sexual activity or that she will never have penetrative sex using her own body if she transitions. That’s she won’t actually become a boy. She will also be sterile she hasn’t a clue what that means aged 3/4. She doesn’t understand about mastectomy Or phalloplasty. Toddler cinema is not the place to have half conversation that’s starts children thinking about life/body changing discussions. In fact childhood isn’t the place as children lack the depth of understanding to see the road they are on even if it’s spelled out to them. Which you couldn’t possibly do at toddler cinema because it would be massively inappropriate. Please remove this part of the selection.
