It’s hilarious that they purge the school libraries of books from the past because they’re sexist and then teach sexist stereotypes via gender ideology!

We in the older generation of teachers have plenty of stories involving our students who expressed cross-sex ideation for a few weeks or months and then dropped it, when we didn't pay it much mind and didn't allow it to take over the classroom. We didn't want this to overshadow the academics and we didn't want to have church (as well as synagogue and mosque) going parents to feel that values they are not a part of are being pushed into their private world. We've all retired. We were never consulted about the fact that the "wrong body" narrative does not fit with long-accepted Piaget stages of development. These phases, from sensory-motor through formal operational, are so universally accepted that the NIH has a webpage devoted to Piaget and these stages.

Thanks! Lots of info for teachers and parents on my channel, including a wellness movements playlist, based on my dance background and self-healing. When I get to it, I will post a series on "neurodiverse" children and helping them relate to the world in a connected and authentic way. My advocacy for trans widows is taking up time, and this over focus on "gender" is a distraction from saving the children in the next generation from actual ignorance. The instructional time taken from academics for the gender woo is astonishing, disgusting and an abdication of responsibility. I am especially disappointed in the teachers unions on this.

Thanks! I now have a few mixed up teens contacting me, as a result of my videos on child development. They've really been failed by Blanchard and his ilk. Taking a walk is better than therapy for so many.

The thing is that what kids also want and need is to be allowed to try on different ways of being and be okay with being different but for it to go unremarked upon by adults. The more we insert our selves into children ‘s imaginations, the more harm we cause. The backlash by kids themselves is already brewing. The older kids are snickering and rolling their eyes at the adult grand standing.

“I still want what I wanted five years ago: for gender nonconforming kids to be allowed to be different, but also unremarkable.”

I love that quote. Being unremarkable, I just love that because it’s so very human.

So, if this is funded by the City Council, that means my tax dollars as a NYC resident are paying to have this organization go into schools and brainwash the teachers and the students. I cannot express the disgust and horror I feel when I hear these things.

Being 'unremarkable' isn't the point. Being 'remarkable' is. Your idea is too ridiculously rational for the gender nazis to even consider. It's all about being your own special little snowflake and demanding acceptance and validation from others. And if gender-non-conforming kids were allowed to be different without forming a parade for them down Main Street, then everyone would be more accepting of gender non-conformity and then where would the misogynist MRA transactivists be? They need the hate and hostility. They're the DEI of the trans movement - generating the hate and hostility they need to stay alive.

There's a giant typo in the graphic. "Gender Inculsivity."
