You've posted here before about how you thought I was intelligent, remember 🤣🤣 Questioning my intelligence because you disagree with me is very childish. You are all up in a heap about this, without any notion as to what is even being proposed. Complete moral panic stuff.

The announcement was just a small part of a larger announcement on tackling gender based violence. I would imagine it is very much storm in a teacup territory. The most outraged about it on here can't even identify what it is that they object so much to.

I think so yeah. Much as they are buzzwords at present I think it is about teaching about diversity and inclusion. There are all sorts of different people, and that's OK. That kind of thing.

I don't know that at all. Rattled is just something you say when you don't have an argument.

I meant the opposite in the first point tbh! I don't think it is a decision, so I think trans kids will exist whether we educate children on gender expression or not. I don't think our positions are that far apart honestly.

So kids can be told about trans people? Great, then you should have an issue with the proposed curriculum

If primary school children can't comprehend gender and trans as concepts, then how do you explain the existence of trans kids? I think that children are well capable of understanding the concepts in an age appropriate way. Also, I'm not sure that " some adults can't understand it" is a great...

I saw that but I don't understand why only Aisling would be told its OK to be different? ( if that's what you mean). If you mean that the whole class is bring told its OK to be different then surely that is age appropriate education on gender expression?

Again, I'm not. You never answered how you would deal with one of your kids teachers being trans. Given that apparently kids can't bd told about trans people 🙄

Well i wouldn't start by thinking that in order to discuss bisexuality you have to talk to children about sex, that's for sure!

You've gone full Helen Lovejoy on this one. No facts and lots of outrage.

I genuinely dont know what meant by it. That's why I keep questioning it. Trans children will exist whether other kids are educated about them or not. So the choices are that either Siobhan learns ( in an age appropriate way) about gender so she can understand if her friend does transition or...

Why would any parent explain bisexuality to a 6 year old in terms of having sex? "Some boys like boys, some boys like girls, some boys like boys and girls". It's hardly rocket science like. That's a parenting issue, not a school one.

Indoctrination? If your position is "we can't tell the children about trans people" then that is impacting on their right to exist. Because it indicates that somehow it us something that children need to be shielded from. What if your kids had a trans teacher Dan? Would that not be allowed in...

What does " children must be allowed to be children" actually mean though? Why does talking about gender expression stop them from being children?
