[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the problem with Jack and Jill? Why do they have to force Jack and John down the throats of 7 year olds during drag queen story hours at school?  Give me a break.  Gen Z now reports and insane rate of LGBTQ compared to other generations.  It's clear they're brainwashing kids and are confusing them due to indoctrination at such a young age.  It is mass hysteria and a trendy fad to be an alphabet soup for your sexual identity. Why should schools be forced to teach this indoctrination? Parents can choose to let their kids have reading hour with Village People at home or outside school. [/quote]

+1.

What exactly is an LBGTQ book?

One that casually mentions teacher Ms. Smith has a wife? Fine whatever.

One that teaches 7 years they can choose to be a boy or girl or neither? No way I am keeping my kid in that school. [/quote]
Agree.  My young elementary child was read Being You: A first conversation about gender by the teacher, to the whole class- with no mention of it to the parents.  It basically tells children they can pick their gender, be both, or neither or chance anytime, and then goes into talking about patriarchy.  WTF. Seriously, this is totally inappropriate

I am a Democrat and agree I would not want my kid being taught that you can change your gender in school at any age since kids are impressionable and teens especially are trying to figure out who they are and normally try on many different "identities." I believe in kindness and respect and do not want any person discriminated against or bullied so I do think it is ok to teach kindness and respect but not this.

The whole asking for your pronoun thing has to go as well since again it is placing ideas in kid's heads. Now if someone tells me they are specific pronouns of course I will try to honor them but don't bash me if I accidentally call them what they appear as. In regards to bathrooms I am not worried unless someone who looks like a burly man tries to use the ladies restroom. Locker rooms should always have private dressing and shower stalls since locker rooms historically have been areas were kids were bullied. Trans people should not be on competitive sports teams of the opposite sex. And again I believe in kindness but also fairness. And we need to knock it off by saying "assigned at birth" or "cis-gender" or "pregnant people" and other similar stuff. This is not going to win folks over to Democratic side. Teach kindness instead.

I also worry that transgender medicine is misguided as a health care professional since no one can change their gender. They can only offer cosmetic surgery and hormones which can cause severe side effects and be damaging to sexual health. I worry that many of these kids will end up changing their minds and have permanent unwanted changes to their bodies. I think a better option would be to assist these people to be happy with the body they have and allow self expression within reason (we cannot have people going around naked for example). This is not the same as praying away the gay but is being realistic that we cannot change our sex and trying to do no harm which I think transgender medicine does.

In the 1980's we had Prince who expressed his feminine side and masculine side very well and we loved it. Men and women should be able to butch or feminine or both.[/quote]
