My mom was a tomboy growing up. Growing up, she always hung out with the boys, loved sports, and hated girly things. As an adult, my mom identifies as female and heterosexual.

Your mom is lucky she wasn’t a kid in today’s climate. She may have been indoctrinated into thinking she was born into the wrong body for not confirming to regressive gender stereotypes. She would have been at risk for undergoing irreversible hormone treatments and surgeries. Please check out Irreversible Damage by Abigail Shrier.

This x1000. It’s absurd and disturbing. Wth does “feel like a girl or a boy” mean to 1st grader? But I also agree it can’t be discussed here. I think there will be a backlash.

Agree. This attitude is so disappointing. Let kids be themselves, play with the toys they enjoy, read the books they enjoy, participate in activities they enjoy & hang out with other kids whose company they enjoy.
I am 40. If I don’t know what feeling like a girl (or boy) means, how on earth will a 7yr old?

Just think.......
NJ seems to think this is something worthy of teaching when we have a horrendous standing in the world WRT math, science, and even English teaching.
Let's have schools teach academics and leave the gender studies - especially in elementary schools - to the parents - where it belongs.

NJ schools are way better than VA schools.

And there are fewer RWNJs per capita.

"Way better"? NJ is #3 and VA is #4.

Nowadays, you can't just be a tomboy. There must be a deeper, underlying issue. You must be a trans-boy and you just didn't know it! No doubt liberals are deeply in favor of banning Irreversible Damage, even though it's an excellent book which sheds much-needed light on these issues.

That's hilarious, seeing as I'm hardly a "radical" anything. Not sure what your comment has to do with, well, anything at all.

The person urging for caution with choosing irreversible treatments on minors is the radical, I see.

You’re really not helping your argument. What specifically do you disagree with?

Really awkward questions, sometimes. Simple explanations of basic anatomy and gender are not only appropriate at that age, but have been standard fare for years and lay the groundwork for important lessons about safety and sexual abuse - "good" and "bad" touching, etc. Acknowledging transgenderism in that framework is not only rational, it can literally be vital to a child's health and safety.

Or, you can keep your panties bunched and your pearls clutched and ride your Pet Moral Panic Of The Week until the next Shiny Object is dangled in front of you. Your choice.

This is not a discussion for the classroom. As a former 1st grade teacher, I would never broach this subject with 6 YOs. This is a discussion for a child - a YOUNG child - to have with his/her parents. Period.
Transgenderism is definitely NOT a subject to discuss with 6 year olds. Let children be children.

People in NJ pay through the nose in taxes for their public schools. I can't imagine this sitting well with folks paying $30k/year on their $750k house in the suburbs to have their six and seven year olds introduced to gender identity theories.

That notable line from Kindergarten Cop is the only thing that five year olds need to know about gender. But, today, many teachers would be hesitant to repeat that line for fear of being accused of transphobia.

I agree. While I think that it's important to teach students about tolerance for LGBT people, I'm not supportive of what Democrats are doing. Their intense focus on gender identity will only lead to backlash, which will ultimately harm the LGBT community.
