People should be able to do what they want. If an XY-chromosomes person wants to wear a dress, so what. If an XX-chromosomes person wants to grow facial hair - who cares?

If people want to freak out about their gender designation, I think we should give them the courtesy, to their face, of addressing them how they liked to be called (just like we ought to do with nicknames).


But so much of the trans agenda seems like huge steps backwards to me. I'm very interested in seeing how this plays out over the next couple decades.

I think ur full of chit and adding to the problem not helping it. you may remove or change a body part BUT you CANT CHANGE dna!!

That's an interesting point of view.

What do you see as 'the problem' exactly? I mean, I can see several, so I'm not sure which you might mean.

And how am I adding to it?

I agree, its just a fact of reality that you can't change DNA; and then again, DNA is DNA. DNA doesn't wholly determine how we feel, nor how people see us, and certainly not how we feel about how people see us.

If you are anti-trans activism, well I'd have to agree that today's trans activists don't really seem interested in reality.

NO ONE should be asking a 4 yr. old what they are

A council leader has said he is 'proud' of a letter asking children aged four to choose the gender 'they most identify with'.

Brighton and Hove City Council wrote to thousands of parents asking them to confirm their primary school places this week.

It wrote to parents urging them to support their child's choice of 'gender identity' and asked them to leave the form blank if the child had 'another gender identity' altogether.

Brighton and Hove City Council reportedly wrote: 'We recognise that not all children and young people identify with the gender they were assigned at birth or may identify as a gender other than male or female, however the current systems (set nationally) only record gender as male or female.

My concern with this approach is that children of age 4 .. Cognitively are still in the magical thinking stage .. Believing in Santa.. The tooth fairy .. Super powers . .. Ask a four year old what will happen to barney if the tv is held up .. many will respond .. he will fall out . . They are very much influenced by their environment and play. Sure they know physically they are a boy or girl . This question is better left until they have at least gone through puberty and are able to answer for themselves .. Independent of parental bias .

This would be my take on it too.

Lots of little boys play with dolls at that age, lots of little girls play with toy trucks at that age, doesn't mean they will grow up to be gay or trans or straight or anything else.

Let kids be kids and decide for themselves (when they are older), then live and let live whatever they be.

more internet hysteria in action....if you bother to read
a credible account of the story you will find the so called
letter to parents is a standard form for students entering
school this fall...NO parents are being instructed to question
their 4 yo child on what sexual identity they want to be...but
rather, IF the PARENT is concerned about their child exhibiting
certain behaviors to leave the male/female box unchecked and the school will be happy to have a conference with the PARENTS
prior to the beginning of school in the fall...

my source: the BBC....a little hard to find amongst all the
tabloid journalism available.. .but it's there if you want to bother finding something credible...

FYI Sky is a credible source


'Please support your child to choose the gender they most identify with.

'Or if they have another gender identity please leave this blank and discuss with your child's school.



I think you need to read it again and think about the fact that these kids are 4 years of age.
