So Brighton, England, known as the gayest city in the world, wants children, some as young as four, to decide what gender they want to be before they start school.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3548962/Now-children-young-FOUR-asked-choose-gender-start-school.html

quote:


Parents have been left furious after receiving a letter instructing them to help their four-year-olds choose a gender before they start primary school.

Brighton and Hove City Council sent a letter to hundreds of families telling them which school their child would attend in September but asked them to respond with which gender their child preferred.

Along with the main text in the letter, there was also a note next to the tickbox for male/female explaining that the national recording system only gives two options for gender but to help their child choose a gender they most identified with.

Continued in link above ...



Surely this is going too far even for the most politically correct of you are here ... no one agrees with allowing this to happen, do you?

It's coming here - it will find it's way here eventually, like everything else.

In a nation where anything goes, everything eventually will.

What's wrong with this? I had decided I was a boy by the time I was 4, you don't think kids today can?

At four years old, I wanted to be a dragon.


It's total bullshite that my mother and the school wouldn't allow me to identify as a dragon.

Yeah this is stupid. I think homosexuality is a like... a part of the human condition. It's existed forever. Some people are just gay, and who cares, we're all filling a hole one way or another... but the transgender stuff... I'm not so sure about. That seems like some sort of brain shite that needs fixing. Like not breathing in lead paint chips during pregnancy or something.

Council is a national "laughing stock" over gender identity question

This article is a bit more objective than The Daily Mail. Really, Scrooster, The Daily Mail?

In an effort to be inclusive and to prevent bullying of the very small percentage of transgender students at the town's schools, the Labour-majority city council went way overboard in its efforts to distinguish them from the rest of the students. If you read the comments after the article, you'll agree that their effort would only make things worse for transgender students.

quote:

THE city council has been labelled a "laughing stock" after sending out forms asking parents which gender their "three-year-old children “most identify with”.

Councillor Dawn Barnett said it had gone too far in trying to be politically correct by urging parents to support their child’s choice of gender identity in a letter confirming primary school places this week.

Labour councillors from Brighton and Hove City Council have hit back at national criticism saying the letter, which asked them to return the form with information about their child, was designed to prevent the small number of trans children at the city’s schools from being bullied.

You know I was ambidextrous when I was in kindergarten and could write with both hands. My teacher and mother agreed I shouldn't do that and forced me to choose a hand and never write with the other again. I chose the right hand, but I think I made the wrong choice. I do most things better with my left hand than my right and I think it has fricked up my coordination a bit.

Now if I make the wrong choice about what hand to write with, how the hell is a kid supposed to make a concrete choice about their gender at that age to irreversible consequences if they choose wrong? That's fricking ridiculous, and the people who are for this should be tarred and feathered, as well as having their licenses to teach revoked.

One of the few reasons I still log on to this site is a good scrooster rant.

This whole ghey thing has gone too damn far. I don't really care who you sleep with. If you want to make a mistake, who am I to get in your way... but quit trying to make a big deal about me thinking it is morally wrong.
