Teaching about Gender

If im trasnphobic you are idiotic and that's proven in every post you've made so far. You ask for evidence of desistance I provide it and you say I cherry picked the study.

I'm sure as hell not going to listen to someone who has no knowledge of basic child psychology and safeguarding. You asked for evidence of social contagion with trans children 21% of Gen Z in te US now identify as LGBT if that percentage increases at the same rate as it has in the past 4 generations we won't have to worry about climate change because we will literally all be LGBT and the human race will become extinct. The absolut nonsense that is be bandied about here as fact is beyond ridiculous a 6 year old came out as non binary?? Pull the other one had the family a vegan dog too? Or a two spirit cat?

I asked the question is a girl who plays football trans because in her Ted talk susie green the head of Mermaids said that her biological son always liked playing with dolls and dresses as a child and used this as an indicator he was trans... do I beleive girls who play football are trans no I don't what an idiotic suggestion I coach camogie and girls football I have daughters. I'm not a clueless ideologue who has two trans friends.

I gave you a long term study on desistance and all you have countered nothing other than to say that's transphobic. Science is transphobic is it?? You've proven nothing other than how entrenched you are and how everything you disagree with is transphobic.

If you had a child of your own you would be aware of the insanity of teaching irrelevant unproven ideological nonsense to them. The gender unicorn is taught in the US and in schools in the UK. Why is it a gender unicorn? Who is that suppose to appeal to would you say? Would it be the huge numbers of girls transitioning in the past decade? And this is the issue if teaching about trans people meant you mention in passing about transpeople existing then sure I'd have no problem with that but teaching children that their gender may not align with their sex observed at birth is an ideological viewpoint its not fact and shouldn't be taught to children.

The debate being had is the merit in teaching gender ideology to children and what exactly that should entail when the change in approach gender affirming care is an experimental one and is being abandoned in Finland the Netherlands and Sweden because of a lack of evidence of long term benefit. This model of care is the one that is advocated for by TENI and Belong to irelands 2 most prominent trans advisory groups. These groups have by their own acknowledgement been in consultation with the NCCA about what the new curriculum contains. So their approach which even the UK is begining to abandon is underpinning the new curriculum. As a parent and a teacher I'm saying that we should be very careful about what is thought about gender ideolgy to children when social media contagion peer contagion and the fact in previous long term studies up to 90% of children with gender dysphoria have desisted. This is called basic child safeguarding. If on the other hand a line used that trans people exist and we should treat them with respect is inserted into the curriculum I will have no problem with that but I highly doubt that will be the case given the ideological stance of the above mentioned charities. It's not transphobic despite what some posters are claiming and accusing me of to have concerns about the above and as I have pointed out those with skin in the game ie parents are the ones who will be most affected by this as will their children.

Are you not familiar with use of analogies in language or is this just a variant of the usual ‘no debate’ sideshow, wheeled out when things get a little too real for the fantasists?

Also, I am not here as a ‘great defender’ of anyone including myself. This is a topical discussion, not a crusade. Feel free to prove me wrong or point out flaws in my logic. Language policing will be ignored.
