Hey @natubat Thank you for taking the time to read and leave a comment, I really appreciate it. I do have some experience with this subject as I had an aunt whom (when I was a child) was one of the first people in the country to have a sex change, so I have no axes to grind. In reference to my aunt and in many cases a sex change does not automatically grant you happiness of peace of mind. The human mind is incredibly complex and so sometimes the need to transistion is itself symptomatic of deeper psychological issues.

I refer to my post where I state "Surely our time and efforts would be far better placed extolling the virtues of kindness, compassion and understanding to our children as opposed to teaching three year olds about gender fluidity"?? Equally I understand that many trans activists may have been bullied or had a tough time at school and so from that perspective some may be attempting help children in a similar situation. That said perhaps viewing schooling through the lens of someone that was bullied for being confused about gender is perhaps not conduicive to the benefit of the 99.5% of children whom would never entertain such thoughts?

I wrote this on another reply but it seems apt in reference to your comment. Now it's within the nature of children to look up to and indeed seek recognition from adults. All of a sudden the virtues of "trans" are everywhere, It's on childrens TV, in school, in books and trans children are being lorded as stars on youtube etc. Obviously if children are seeking recogntion then it stands to reason that they may subconsciously begin to imitate these new "stars" .. I mean the same process has played out for generations with pop stars, celebrities so perhaps that statement isn't too much of a leap to make. Equally, from another perspective I feel many of the points I've highlighted in the post will cause confusion in the minds of young children that would have never even thought about the possibility of gender fluidity.

Again my main thoughts on this is that children should be taught the virtues of kindness and compassion and the acceptance of differences whilst not going into specifics. I think this whole movement has gone and is going way too far and I feel that this will be to the detriment of childhood development and indeed innocence. I really fail to see how a demonic drag queen reading children story books about gender fluidity is going to help any aspect of said development. I also feel allowing primary school children to change sex without parental consent is both insane and a gross intrusion into parental rights. Indeed the age of consent is 16 and the voting age is 18 and yet we want to allow children to have the right to change their bodies and futures and consume hormone blockers? Indeed what about tom boys? I knew many tom boys that grew up to be beautiful women .. it makes me wonder how they will be treated in todays society and narrative. Thanks again for the thoughtful comments @natubat I really appreciate your input and exchange of ideas.
