Teaching about Gender

Will the teachers explain the link between transgender people and autism?

If the kids are old enough to be taught about trans issues then surely they are old enough to be taught about the very strong link to autism in transpeople.

Exhibit A :

The actual irony of you telling me that I am making up bullshit to support my bias when I've given you reference after reference and all you can peddle is your ideological bullshit. I asked a question and you didnt answer it. Are you saying that kids know they are transgender because they innately know this? What if the childs belief is a mistaken one?? The DSM IV literally states one of its criteria for gender identity disorder is that a child plays stereotypical games of the opposite sex. If a child says they are

Again you seem to Know better than the director of GIDS Polly Carmichael who said the following about children and their gender identity.

"The question is, if you halt your own sex hormones so that your brain is not experiencing puberty, are you in some way altering the course of nature?" ‘[T]he debate revolves around the reversibility of this intervention—physical and also psychological, in terms of the possible influence of sex hormones on brain and identity development’ 

So you think a prebubescent child knows what gender they are because thats who they are? DO you think socially transitioning children to the opposite sex in primary school is ok then? Thats an ideological viewpoint. Is Polly Carmichael Transphobic for saying the above?

You haven't a clue about any of the nonsense your spouting. You have two trans friends and suddenly you are an expert on gender dysphoria in children, yes I've met some gender dysphoric children one in particular who had a common sense approach from her parents and did not listen to Trans groups or ideological idiots who told them to affirm their Childs belief. The child has thankfully resolved any dysphoria and is thriving. ANd that is the crux of the issue here introducing gender ideolgy in our schools and having it on the curriculum will result in Belog to and Teni writing that curriculum from their ideological viewpoint. They have already lobbied the NCCA about it. The only study on transgender children done in ireland was done by Aoife Neary in Limerick and it was done in conjunction with TENI who referred the participants to Neary as they had already contacted TENI for support. Its almost a carbon copy of the influence Mermaids (A trans Charity in the UK) have had on Uk Policy and medical practice. That study has been referenced numerous times by TENI as the lobby for more influence on educational settings.

In a written submission in 2018 TENI wrote the following : the bolded study is they one they were partners in and in fact referred the children studied directly from

"TENI seeks to improve conditions and advance the rights and equality of trans people and their families. Despite significant progress in the past years, Ireland remains a place where it is difficult for trans people to lead safe, healthy and integrated lives. TENI is dedicated to ending transphobia, including stigma, discrimination and inequality. Research suggests that expressions of gender identity are commonly made in childhood and adolescence. A recent study with 32 trans children, aged 5 to 12, indicates that the gender identity of these children was deeply held and is not the result of confusion about gender identity. The researchers noted, “[O]ur results support the notion that transgender children are not confused, delayed, showing gender atypical responding, pretending, or oppositional — they instead show responses entirely typical and expected for children with their gender identity.”1 In Ireland, there is an increasing number of transgender and gender variant young people. There is also strong evidence that transgender and gender variant young people experience high levels of bullying and discrimination in Irish schools as a result of their gender identity and gender expression. 

What improvements can be made through new provision? To promote inclusion and diversity in our education system, there is a pressing need for a strategic approach to supporting transgender and gender variant young people. We would suggest that DES invest in the following activities: 1. Develop a trans training programme. DES should partner with TENI to provide awareness training on gender identity and diversity to staff through the Education Centres. This would be a strategic, pro-active and efficient way of addressing educational disadvantage and promote the active inclusion of transgender and gender variant young people. 2. Develop training resources. These resources would be geared towards teachers in primary and post-primary schools to facilitate a student’s transition (e.g. how to inform the other students, how to deal with parents who may have questions, what are the practicalities that need to be considered).

The video on a social transition in primary school from the INTO which i've linked in an earlier post being one such resource.

7. Prioritising Early Years: a. Comment on the approach contained in the programme for a partnership Government (are we capturing the essential issues, are there additional matters we should take into account) We would very much welcome additional National Educational Psychologists (NEPs), who would have the appropriate training to support very young students who are gender variant, providing immediate support for critical times in a student’s life, times when they may be experiencing high levels of gender dysphoria, or need to make a social transition. b. How should progress on prioritising Early Years be measured? c. What would you consider to be the priority actions and outcomes in this area? Changes to the curriculum to promote awareness of gender identity and diversity and training for teaching staff to support all students as well as answering questions that other parents may have."

All of this lobbying for an ideology that has zero long term studies on the early social transitioning of children in primary school and the affects this has on those children. It's completely experimental as The director of GIDS herself has acknowledged and what did she do after acknowledging it she failed to follow up with the patients she was caring for. The PDST recommends on its websites to teachers to use gender neutral language now for primary school - Think about teaching puberty in gender neutral terms, so that it is inclusive of all students (e.g. bodies with a vagina and bodies with a penis rather than girls’ bodies and boys’ bodies)

Exhibit B

5 year olds are relevant because 5 year olds in Ireland have already transitioned socially and as I have shown above the lobby groups have prioritized Early years.

The rest of that is nonsense. I'm not making any bullshit up its all happening already because not one person has spoken out against this ideology being passed as fact and being peddled as researched science to our children but I can guarantee you that people are beginning to wake up to it.
