Eliot Page; a positive example of masculinity?

I shared this news story in a group whatsapp and my year 8 daughter just told me that the same thing happened in her assembly recently.

I mean, this is batshit insanity and totally goes against what the Cass review states.

It’s out and out grooming. Clearly Page is an example of something other than positivity, whenever I see them being interviewed , they seem deeply depressed and miserable.

Are any of the boys in her school going to see Page as a man? Are any of the girls going to see it and wonder if their clothes choices and hairstyle mean they’re also a man? Why are schools still pumping out this unhealthy rhetoric for young teens? It’s insane.

School uses trans actor Elliot Page as positive example of masculinity

The actor, who now identifies as a man after medically transitioning with cross-sex hormones and surgery, featured in a lesson about how masculinity can take multiple forms.

If you wanted an example of a famous person who's an unconventional example of masculinity, you could do worse than Steve Buscemi. Before he was an actor he was a firefighter. He was filming in NYC on 9/11, dropped everything and went to his old station to help out with the rescue effort. And he's so modest that story didn't come out until years later.

At last something women are better than men at! 🙄

I just read a comment about this that said ‘Are they trying to force 12 year olds into the arms of Andrew Tate?’ It’s true! They need to stop trying to force this down children’s throats and give them realistic goals to achieve.

The school appears to have no male teachers, and only a couple of male support staff. I wonder if the head teacher has thought of addressing that.

Harry Styles? He recently had a very public affair with a married woman, which subsequently broke up their marriage. (Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis.) He flys through relationships. Are they teaching them that committed relationships are to be shunned?

Eliot Page does not seem stable at all and is not a man!

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but they couldn’t find a firefighter who is a family man and volunteers at an animal shelter? Young boys are just not going to relate to two rich movie stars, especially Eliot Page and Harry Styles.

Edited

A) She wasn't married and b) they were no longer together - unless you believe everything that Ted Lasso says.
Sorry, I had to listen to my friend going on about this at the time, she was outraged at the coverage 😂

I feel like I have quite a few non-toxic yet masculine men in my circle, can't really think of a famous one without feeling that you only see one side to them (which is fair enough).
