4 year olds able to change gender in Scotland

It will happen hence Why this is being put in place ,

It's the same situation with anti LGBT bullying in schools here , where there was calls to remove a anti bullying document used to discuss LGBT bullying because it made little or no mention of gay and lesbians less the 5 mentions of either ,but over 4 pages trans gets mentioned 70+ times ....

I believe that's there is litterally only a handful of teens who identify as trans in schools so why the need to over representation a tiny minority exactly...

Apologies for the sarky reply above ,

Thinking that transitioning gender is purely a body issue pretty ignorant, to be fair.

Why would trans become the dominant point of any LGBT bullying or education in schools when the numbers are something like less than 20 out of 1million school going children ,

It's a massive over representation in any situation ,

Imagine discussing LGBT relationships in schools and trans is the dominant part of any discussion ,Why ?

Well done to the Daily Mail. A headline designed for clicks and outrage. Worked a charm as usual.

Only two posters here have mentioned the daily fail and the far right .....

Suprised nah not one bit , very American it's not happening it's fake news !!!!

Suppose it beats the same usual two or three running around chasing their own tails and confusing themselves about what they are even claiming

Are you going to be apologising for this sarky response as well? Or would you rather explain why you've chosen to attack posters who have merely proven that the media institution has lied, rather than engage in the more factual counter-arguments that have been presented to you?

Ad homeinem exposed.

Ah come on. You do seem to come from quite the 'eclectic' (your word) background. You appear to be suggesting that the prevalence of gay or trans is far far larger that the once suggested 10% I don't even think gay is as much as 5%. I'd instinctively say it's at most, 3%.

edit:

I always trust my instincts :D

Yeah that's all fine. Most people in Ireland are either from a small town or from a rural setting. Same here. If you are from a small town in Ireland then that means your sample size is small. Which if extrapolated according to your personal experience the prevalence of gay and trans is much larger than what the census figures say.

The other explanation for your experience is you personally knew all the gay and trans people in your class/year/school. Which would be a bit unusual, possible I suppose, but certainly unique if so. Definitely an 'eclectic' circle of friends you keep.

The number of school acquaintances/friends that identify as gay, or transpired to be gay since my school days, is exactly zero. Can't count myself in that of course. So your experience doesn't match what I think is more the norm.

I suppose it's also unusual that you know all the people from school?

I would know max 10pc people from school from about 150 in my year.

The anecdotal evidence isn't really helpful. The ones survey on 16 year olds is s little more helpful, but if course still isn't a full picture.

Not sure if anyone has posted the full article: https://education.gov.scot/media/xpgo5atb/supporting-transgender-pupils-schools-guidance-scottish-schools_.pdf

All made up of course talk about agenda

"We see the headline and we get all rage and run with stories of 2 year old being pressured into gender dysmorphia as a result of a government agenda."

And actually - I had to re-read this (sometimes I post in the same conversational style, but sometimes its hard to read)

Are you saying that organisations like the DM do not try and push an agenda? And that the talk about an agenda is made up?

Am I reading this correctly - you bleat on about TRAs pushing an agenda all the time, yet you fail to acknowledge that one of the most toxic commercial entities are not even capable of pushing an agenda for oh I don't know what.. massive profit?

I suppose you think YouTube is just like a charity putting nice videos out there for people to watch?

This is a whole new level really!

That's weak

But still strong enough.

On the one side, we have the actual document.

On the other we have the Daily mail making ups all sorts of stuff and then you believing them, claiming conpsiracies, lies and agendas and attacking posters with sarcastic posts and generally ignoring arguments.

Been through the same **** from the flat-earthers, the anti-vaxxers, the qAnon Trump deniers and the Westboro church / assorted radical Christians.
