Enoch Burke turns up to school again despite sacking - read OP before posting

That is a direct lie.

Sorry, didn’t read entire thread. Admittedly I don’t frequent the site.

I agree with you that Enoch is like a child throwing a tantrum.

You're labelling this as two equal sides, when it really isn't. The child who wants to transition/is transitioning has science on their side. It may be seen as quite a recent phenomenon but it really isn't. On the other side is Burke who wants to counteract the science based on his religious beliefs. Not even close to being the same in my opinion.

Anyway it's moved way beyond that now. He could have easily ignored the child and still held his beliefs, but he threw a wobbly and all the following consequences are a result of that wobbly, not his transgender beliefs.

I read this article this morning and I was shocked. Talk about muddying the waters. There is a huge amount of confusion out there about what exactly it is that sent Mr Burke to prison and led to his dismissal. The law, and the courts, are quite clear. Opinion pieces like this are simply that, opinions, but this one is also factually incorrect.

The science on genders. You are on here, so presumably you have an internet connection. The current accepted science is that gender is a spectrum, and what society thinks of as "male" and "female" are simply high points on the graph.

And yes, the "suicide card". As hard as it might be to imagine some of us actually do care about children who feel so misunderstood and who feel such a lack of acceptance that the only way out that they can see is in killing themselves. And yes, I really do think that children know what it feels like to be who they are.

Even if you were right, and you aren't, if accepting that a child knows who they are improves the chance that they will survive what is the downside of that? Is the idea that there are people that you don't understand so hurtful to you that you'd rather they be dead than accepted?

Just a reminder for all you squealers in here. 🤣

No. A child can be born homosexual. This is a very strange feeling for them when they start to realise it. This is undoubtedly a period of suffering for many. It is real. It is not a delusion. They are genuinely attracted sexually to the same sex.

Unfortunately, adults have created a form of gay conversion by allowing some children play a trump card and explain away their homosexuality by allowing them to be the opposite sex.

This is just one form of child trans phenomenon. Others are caused by body dysmorphia (I hate my body therefore I want to change it)

Wow. The science on genders says it’s a spectrum. Wow. Anyway..

Re: a child knowing who they are and accepting that? They are intellectually incapable of making such decisions. That’s why society doesn’t allow them to vote, drink, drive etc. They haven’t a fcuking clue about anything. Protecting them is to not listen to them when they are clearly wrong. Parents have known this for thousands of years.

Yes, it does. But then again if you actually knew anything about the science you would have already known that.

As to the rest of it, you're the one that has shown that they don't have a fcuking clue about anything. I don't see any point in continuing to discuss the matter. Your mind is obviously closed.

Do you mean make physical changes? Depends on the law of the land. Some would need to wait until then to make changes to their bodies because their parents wouldn’t allow it.

That turns out to not be true.
