What exactly is this supposed to achieve?

Aimed at children 11 and 12 years old, about to start puberty.
Feel uncomfortable with that genitalia?
Surgery can make you feel euphoric.
Why is FGM bad but removing your genitals normal?
And why do children need to (literally)be exposed to this?

We know what the point is we’re just not allowed to say it without risking the ban hammer.

But I will venture to say this is Queer Theory in action- disrupt the norms of what human genitals look like.

What well-meaning sensitive kid wouldn't hate to see an adult claiming they're in pain?
What small girl with no perspective could argue against an adult that says removing her breasts helped her.
What trusting kids don't look to adults for guidance?
And critically, what parents would let their kids go on this show?

One of the responses caught my eye

Good lord!!
That’s just criminal!😭😭

Sorry about all the exclamation marks.

Alexa - show me children being groomed 😓

Horrifying. People are forgetting just how much kids trust adults and look up to them. When I was 11 or 12 I thought adults never got things wrong. When you’re going through puberty and your body is changing, does anyone actually feel comfortable with the privates they were born with? I mean, really?! Are these people trying to recruit children or something?!

When I was a little boy, I wanted a few simple things. World peace, and end to world hunger, more people to be nicer.
Fast forward five decades, and I just have one simple wish. Just make this shit go away. Is it too much to ask?

When i was a little girl I wanted enough money for 10 regal king size and a box of matches!

Obviously my female socialization stopped me dreaming big I see!

I must have thought I was a show in for Miss World, lol.

Oh creeptastic.

It is that episode of Buffy in action where the monster became two little wide eyed children inciting mobs to violence against women with "the bad girls want to hurt us - we don't feel safe yet, you have to stop them".

It was downright prescient.

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a big girl. I'm still a little girl . BTW @Boiledbeetle , have some fruit cake:

Why has my post got cake twice? I wanted sad face and then cake.

@JanesLittleGirl there's only one slice of cake there...maybe someone ate the other one before I got here!

Munches on first slice whilst hiding second behind back.

In fact it was a whole series about naked bodies .. there were episodes with naked older woman, naked young men… all kind of categories. Just showing kids what all kinds op people may look like naked. There was a lot of controversy about it and the program stopped. The fragment is a few years old already.

I just can't imagine the meeting to tout the idea.

"So yeah we thought we'd get some KIDS, the younger the better, brains more accepting.

Then we will get a load of ADULTS, strip them naked and get the children to look at their bodies! Any questions? ?"

And obviously they're aren't any!

Well if you are afraid of society being to much influenced by porn and the type of bodies shown in porn-movies then this program might be helpful. Show 12 year olds real bodies, what real people look like. Before they are getting brainwashed by pornmovies. There were episodes with good questions. I agree this is a difficult episode to watch but i really liked the idea of the series.

It's not the showing them the bodies as such, as I'm fairly sure there was a video when I was about that age, that was similar with different naked bodies.

But having the kids in the studio being filmed is the bit that's wrong. It's to voyeuristic watching those young kids confronted with that. And then talking them through their reactions and thoughts. Just NO!
