There’s a lot of peer pressure online to identify as queer or transgender

And it’s very uncool to identify as heterosexual

I’m unfortunately having to have these discussions with my 12 and 13 year old daughters

This is not true at our DD’s private school.

It is true at all three private schools my DC have attended. Friends say gender bending is the norm at local high schools as well. This is much broader than SR.

Perhaps all girls schools. This is not mainstream in the co-Ed schools, thankfully.

Hmmm not so sure about that. You have to actually talk to your kids to hear about this stuff. It is not obvious on the surface.

It's the parents role to give their kids proper values...doesn't always work, but often does.
My kids know I would be disappointed if they were overweight, lazy, video game addicted kids. For whatever reason they study hard, play sports, are fit, and are driven to succeed. They also know I do not consider an alternative lifestyle/ acceptable. And they are both normal, red blooded heterosexuals.

I know all the liberals on this blog disagree with every word said..too bad. I have no apologies. I don't want weird kids.


Two of DC’s private schools are coed and both have trans students and students all over the map gender ID wise. Friends say it is similar at their public schools. Online pressure to identify in non conventional gender ways is not unique to girls schools. How much of this gender bending is transient and how much will endure remains to be seen.

Wow! You're a bigot.

And you are a raging PC liberal! Happy to be defined as that by someone like you. Thanks.

I wouldn’t get too worked up by the troll … who is mixing responses out of context to polarize and stir things up …

What does "mixing responses" even mean? Have you been at the Chardonnay again?

Obvious troll is being obvious.

I wasn't PP so unfortunately you're wrong which is funny considering you're so sure of yourself.

I check the SR threads from time to time because the school screwed my life up and I like to warn people. If you don't play their game it can be very challenging. Nasty place

Ha ha not a Chardonnay fan ..,

I made an observation earlier (gender bending being more widespread that SR). Then someone responded with a comment that I did not disagree with regarding need for parental involvement and supervision although I would have left off the snark. Someone else jumped in with insults that sparked pointless drama. I would have responded with rational response not insults.

I really think someone is enjoying stirring up divisive trouble for SR.

I am really sorry to hear that.

Nothing in life is 100% certain except death and taxes. So with 99.99% confidence I can say they are not. Sorry to disappoint.

You seem to protest a bit much. Perhaps you secretly would like to paint both sides of the fence yourself.

Not trying to pick a fight but Please resist temptations to antagonize others with pointless personal insults - obviously, we are all anonymous and can’t know each other personally.

We are supposed to exchange useful info on specific subjects. When folks insult or demean others, it becomes a hostile environment where trolls dominate … We only reinforce the opinions of people with strong biases one way or another, when we insult them. The threads where most posters are pleasant/ well meaning have much better and more helpful discussions.

Thank you in advance.

If “casually” identifying as he, her, him, what, where, why and how is the cool thing to do now…I’m much more on board with that. Seems far more benign than anorexia, bulimia or cutting that our generation felt was en vouge...

Not currently a SR family but it is our "daughter's" first choice for High School.

How is this that hard? There are many school choice options. DC should go to a school that fits DC. If you are transitioning gender at the end of high school there are better fits than SR.

I am sorry that SR dealt poorly with you but I assume you are an adult now. Move on. Looking for an opportunity to malign the school is not healthy for anyone.

I have no interest in SR but poster about this school in particular are so blatantly bashing because of their own issues it is ridiculous.
