Primary school children in Scotland are taught about menstruation.

[ArabellaScott]

This video is used to teach about menstruation. It's linked in this activity plan.

'One of the physical changes of puberty that a person with a uterus will experience is getting their period as part of what's called the menstrual cycle.
This normally happens between the ages of 8 and 13, and for some people, even older.
Everyone goes through puberty at the time that's right for their body.
Once a person reaches puberty, those with a uterus, prepare for the possibility of eventually making a baby.'

How do children know if they have a uterus?

This is what we get for mess with our language. Confused young girls.
If I was a mother with primary school kids, I would complaining constantly about this and the other stupid nonsense.

Stick to teaching biology and not bull shit.

education has gone to shit

Well, I don't know if this is such bad advice... DDs friend, aged about 8, said she knew how to tell the difference between boys and girls - cut them open and see if they have a uterus. 😂

Why are they using American cartoons? That quiet surprises me with current Scotgov.
And the people with uterus WTAF?

Even their joke names for periods aren't very Scottish? Other than time of month,
Painters in?

Ridiculous. Do the children know how to check if they are one of those who has a uterus?
If they don't, how will they know if they'll go through the "right" puberty?

Leave the kids to be kids...

This normally happens between the ages of 8 and 13, and for some people, even older.

"In fact, for approximately half of all people, it happens when they're so much older than that, that they will actually die of old age before it has even started."

Totally agree.

I'm baffled as to why they didn't think it was worth creating a Scottish video for this, and chose to rely on an American one - especially when it has wierd references to terms like "shark month" that I doubt anyone in Scotland has ever actually used!

Shark month?! I missed that.

Scotgov is happy to ape progressive US tropes to differentiate itself away from Westminster/RUk, I suppose. See Nicola's 'Scoddish' accent.

"Hi kids. We really feel we need to tell you about your bodies, but we first need to tell you that we're scared of bodies and biology, we're especially scared of the word 'girls' and girls' bodies, and girls, you need to know that your sex and the words for you are bad and dirty things that shouldn't be mentioned. Learn your place now."

"Why is that, sir?"

"Because men get uppity and pout about reality denying them women's bodies. Men are always, always, much more important than girls. Girls' bodies should always be regarded as just about men, and only important as in how they relate to men. So we're making this the problem of women and girls, and lying to you and ourselves, because we're scared of those men too."

"Isn't this fantastically fucked up, sir?"

"We identify as it being ok, we cling desperately to that belief in the teeth of all reality and evidence, and will be equally desperately consequencing anyone showing critical thinking or asking questions. We'll hopefully all be retired when this really goes tits up so won't have to take responsibility."

Oh, that is AWFUL! Undermining essential information for girls in order to pander to the stupid trans agenda. At least your daughter came home and talked to you about it. Lots of others would remain in ignorance.

Also, unless they told the pupils that those people with uteruses were girls, how would they know which children were going to have periods? Are they meant to guess? Or do they tell them it’s children without penises, as that’s more obvious and then at least, the boys will know it’s not them. The whole thing is ridiculous.
