There were several parents very surprised when their daughters came home announcing they were trans because the teacher said, "if we are not comfortable in our bodies, we might be trans".
After another session with the sex teacher, most of the girls came home announcing they were omnisexual because it was the 'most inclusive' of all of the sexual orientations.

I was a wild experimenter, support anything goes with consenting adults, and am the last person anyone would expect to have a problem with liberal teaching. But this is causing real problems with girls who have not made it through puberty yet. In my daughter's 5th grade class, over half the girls were declaring as LGBT+ (FWIW, most of the boys thought they were nuts). Two girls have cut their hair and decided to change their pronouns and dress as boys. Five have decided they are 'gender-fluid', and countless other kids are scared and confused.

The only way to escape it, at least in the private school arena, is to go to a religious based school. Which has another set of issues...

This entire comment is obviously bs. PP’s imagined parade of horrible is a “Reefer Madness” level PSA.

not the poster: I wish it was BS because of how insane it sounds, but I've heard similar anecdotes from various parts of the country - Seattle, SF, San Jose, NYC, Newark (NJ and DE.) It's starting to be covered more broadly.

Things are... not like they were twenty years ago.

They kick off the Explore Your Gender mantra in grade 2 when they master Identity Labels.

You really have no idea what you are speaking of.
