[quote=Anonymous]Anyone with children younger than 10 has not fully been exposed to this wide ranging trend. It is ripping through our pre-adolescent and adolescent girls at an incredibly high rate. It is now cool to be bisexual, transgender, and queer. Apparently lesbian and gay are out of fashion. I mean, they get to fly a rainbow flag. How cool is that? I asked my “daughter” what flag do I get to fly and she said the straight flag was black and white. That’s what I get?

I figure if she can get someone else to call her by a different name and use different pronouns, that’s on her. We are just ignoring it at home. This is a child with zero gender issues from birth to age 15.

Still, I wonder what will happen in these girls schools. They will not be insulated from it. As I mentioned above, I hope the schools take a hard stand and mostly ignore it. There’s no way I can remember the preferred pronouns in my daughters circle of (girl)friends. Let alone being a teacher with 100+ kids to remember. If you look like a girl, I will use female pronouns. If you look like a boy, I will use male pronouns. And if we decide as a society we want to update our language then that’s going to take a few years. Pronouns are not offensive by their nature.

Really hoping this far dies out before too many years pass[/quote]
