You are the only one to use those words.

Normalization is a better term.

You conservatives really are obsessed with kids’ privates.

It’s actually those in MCPS, who are anything but conservative, who insist on having topics including “kids privates” in the curriculum.

OP, I’m opting mine out. It’s no big deal.

This is changing a lot of people's politics op.

Oh, so THIS is what’s changing people’s politics and not, say, the fact that ICE is basically disappearing people of color everyday?

You people are insane. This is a nothing burger. Find something actually concrete to be upset about.

THERE WAS NO BREAST-BINDING TALK AT WESTLAND.

The person invited to talk has explained how to bind one's breasts at different meetings, BUT NOT DURING THE PRESENTATION AT WESTLAND (and presumably not in any public middle school).

The article on Fox is misleading because the title is an outright lie, and the body of the article tries to make people believe the breast-binding lesson happened at Westland, when it did not. This is another talk that the presenter gives on other occasions, but not this one.

When you take out the topic of breast-binding, the rest of the presentation is very innocuous.

Yes, I’d like to hear facts about what was actually shown/discussed at Westland from someone who was there, vs. what the Post and X and Libs of TikTok are claiming happened.

Touché. Or do you get as equally upset about school shootings? Personally, I’d rather my kids be trans than dead.

Where's the school for parents who support banning assault weapons, object to school shootings, and oppose teaching 11 year olds thet they can choose their gender?

I think it’s called Catholic school.

What's wrong with treating normal things as normal? Is leaning in on making vulnerable 11-13 year olds feel abnormal really the hill you want to die on here? You guys really don't care how many kids' mental health you sacrifice in your attempt to keep your own precious kids from being exposed to things that make you uncomfortable because you don't personally understand them (spoiler alert: you can't stop it, your kids will find out anyway.)

Again, the nonbinary concept is an emerging, radical idea in gender ideology. It is not yet seen as “normal,” though you and your allies are obviously working hard to make it so.

Why not teach 11 year olds to treat EVERYONE with respect without specifying each letter of LBGBTQWTF+++? I don't shy away telling my kids anything, I can explain what a trans gender person is mysrlf. Why do we have waste time on concepts that affect 1% of population?

My kid goes to westland and I only learned about this in the news. No opportunity to opt out that I was aware of.

If true, and I'm sure it is, it's just more of MCPS is pushing a totally inappropriate-for-kids social contagion. I would not have wanted my kid subject to this stuff. But it has been going on since elementary school.

How does a kid being trans stop school shootings? Aren't most of the shooters trans now?

Read upthread the post writing that the presentation did not happen as described by the media. For example, there was no discussion of breast-binding.

MCPS has learned nothing from its costly Supreme Court loss.

Except that Westland didn't do that. It's an invention by the media sources presented by OP.

Maybe you want to verify before piling on.
