If you are talking about 11, 12, 13 year olds who still haven't figured out whether they are boys or girls, and you can't see what a problem that is, then you have your head completely in the sand. [b]Most of us figure that out by the age of 2 or so[/b].[/quote]

Most of us do. And some of us don't. Different people are different people who have different experiences. (DCUM always has troubles with this concept.)

More to the point, how does it harm you? Having to acknowledge that there are different people who have different experiences does not constitute harm. Neither does having to acknowledge that different people understand the world differently. And, really, if somebody wants you to use a particular pronoun/name for them, but you want to use a different one, then there's nothing stopping you from doing that. Including my opinion that it's rude.

[b]It's harming me greatly because it is harming society[/b]. More to the point it's harming my kids to have to put up with this BS at school, when they should be learning about, you know, physics or chemistry. I agree that it is harming most of all the poor kids who do not have parents with the sense to see the danger on this. [/quote]

No, it doesn't work that way. Or, if it does, then I could equally well say that your opinions personally harm me, because they harm society. And then what?

Meanwhile, if you don't want your children to encounter fellow students who have beliefs about gender you don't share, then I suggest you enroll your children in a private school that reflects your beliefs about gender, or homeschool your children.[/quote]

Or perhaps you could keep your liberal views in your own home and among your own social groups and not bring it into the public schools that my tax dollars pay for, you DON'T own the public school system an neither do your personal views.[/quote]

Uh, no. There are more of us than there are of you. Go back to your cave or join ISIS or the Taliban or something.[/quote]
