Progress? This is social degeneration and an abuse of authority by a previously trusted social institution. Really, that is a favorite game of the left. Infiltrate an institution that has built up social trust over long periods of time, and then use it to subvert the community and do things nobody wants before people have the time to catch on. Hopefully, it won't work this time.

“Social degeneration”
“Subvert the community”

Teaching kids to be kind and inclusive is not the problem here. You are.

LOL. Nice try. As if the only option is to foist a bunch of hocus pocus "theories" about "gender" is the only option for teaching kids to be kind and inclusive. This is degenerate trash pushed by people with evil intentions and should be called out as such.

Exactly my point too. Was there ever a huge problem with little KIDS not being inclusive to trans and non-binary adults around them? Did this little kid "intolerance" created humongous issues for these adults or older teens? Were these people discriminated, bullied, and denied rights to work, attend college, marry, etc. BY LITTLE KIDS?

What’s wrong with “be nice to everyone”?

Again, you are insinuating that little kids were a problem because they were not "nice to everyone". What is the root of the problems for LGBTQ and Trans communities exactly? Kids in early elementary schools or something else?

I’m the pp. It doesn’t mean that 6 year olds should be encouraged to follow suit. I don’t think it’s a good thing that many kids are confused about their gender.

It is what it is. Would you rather have those kids feel ostracized? It takes no effort to be kind and inclusive.

Maybe DCUMers should all take a lesson from NJ:

Social and Sexual Health
Social and Sexual Health is a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others efficiently. Individuals are able to form meaningful relationships with others and interact in healthy, appropriate ways. They encompass respect and accept differences of an individual’s race, religion, gender identity, gender expression, ethnicity, disability, socioeconomic background, and perspectives of health-related decisions. The extent to which people connect with others in different environments, adapt to various social and sexual situations, feel supported by individuals, institutions, and experience a sense of belonging, all contribute to social and sexual health.

By the end of grade 2
• Every individual has unique skills and qualities, which can include the activities they enjoy such as how they may dress, their mannerisms, things they like to do.
• Families shape the way we think about our bodies, our health and our behaviors.
• People have relationships with others in the local community and beyond.
• Communication is the basis for strengthening relationships and resolving conflict between people.
• Conflicts between people occur, and there are effective ways to resolve them.

None of that requires teaching kids that they can change their sex.

Utterly the dumbest crap of all time. How did humans possibly exist for 4000 years without the need of ever need and education, besides mother nature, on gender?

All progressives want to do is confuse the crap out of kids during their most formative, vulnerable, and impressionable years.

These are the NJ standards. They aren’t “teaching kids they can change their sex”.

Are they in public schools in NJ? Or the DC area? What grades?

Perhaps you don't really know kids today and you should educate yourself more on the topic. The latest Gallup poll showed 20.8% of Gen Z identifies as LGBQT so basically 1 out of 5 kids. It is double the percentage of millennials (10.5%) and Gen X is only 4.2%.

You are in for quite the shock with how and what schools are teaching very young kids regarding this issue. Basically, they believe that they are better equipped to deal with your child if they are confused regarding gender and in many states are prohibited from telling the kid's parents if the child is struggling, wants to be called by a different pronoun, etc. They then offer "guidance" to your kid, in many cases basically trying to get them to affirm they are of the opposite gender, all with legal restrictions not allowing the parents to be informed unless the minor child decides it's okay. There are multiple lawsuits around the country regarding this policy, a few of the most recent linked below. Many experts working with true trans young adults are finally starting to speak out regarding the harm this movement to push kids to consider themselves gender fluid is doing to minors. Anyone with kids knows they are not equipped either through mental maturity or through life experiences to understand what it really means when it comes to making permanent changes that will be with you for life at 13 or 15 or so. Honestly, think about when you were 13 or 15. Would you want that person you were then making decisions that would permanently alter your life as you know it? This is what all these activists are after, for what reason - well that is the million dollar question.

FL - In the Florida case, January and Jeffery Littlejohn of Tallahassee, Florida, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida last month after Deerlake Middle School failed to notify them that their daughter had entered a school-sanctioned gender transition plan. The school claimed nondiscrimination law barred them from informing the parents about the meeting with their daughter, in which they orchestrated the gender-transition plan.

Regarding the 20% of middle school kids, PP is probably correct in that they claim such, but in reality they are following a trend. Per a trans psychologist who has helped many transition (Today's DM):

"For a while, we were all happy that society was becoming more accepting and more families than ever were embracing children that were gender variant,’ she told the Los Angeles Times. ‘I think it’s gone too far. Now it’s got to the point where there are kids presenting at clinics whose parents say, “This just doesn’t make sense”. ‘To flatly say there couldn’t be any social influence in formation of gender identity flies in the face of reality. Teenagers influence each other.’ Dr Anderson supports puberty blockers and hormone therapy for teens, but says they should be given only after strict examinations to ensure that the youth is ready to transition. She revealed she has already intervened on a hormone therapy session for a 13-year-old who identified as male but had yet to meet with a psychologist. And she has warned fellow members of the American Psychological Association committee – tasked with writing transgender healthcare guidelines – to pursue rigorous evaluations for patients to avoid committing malpractice. I have a dictum: When in doubt, doubt,’ she told the paper."

Thanks for explaining it to the bigots.

She is advocating for stricter guidelines, not to ban affirmation.

100%. As a DC resident who “lives in Florida” for tax purposes, I could give two shits about what NJ does. I have nothing to do with that state nor do I want to (Princeton is lovely though).

Yes, with rigorous psychological testing because she feels many teens right now are following a trend and those we trust to guide them are basically not doing their job properly. Malpractice I believe is the word she uses. I don't agree with affirmation at that age as she does, but at least she is on board with extensive psychoanalysis to see if the kid is truly trans or succumbing to being mixed up combined with peer pressure.
