the article you showed me says “gay pride video” at least three times near the top 😅
“…a third-grade teacher was removed from her teaching position after facing threats for showing a gay pride video. “

“Gay pride videos shown in a Glendale third-grade classroom have added an intense local chapter to a national debate over how and when lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation should be broached in public schools.”
“The episode unfolded with the disclosure that a teacher at Jefferson Elementary had shown her students gay pride videos…”

neither of us know what the actual “approved” curriculum looked like 😅
anyway 😅
we’re kinda focusing on kids and transitioning right now but i’m sure you know this issue goes way beyond that.
the other issue i have with this movement is :
the blatant lack of concern towards women’s safety.
the blatant lack of respect towards how a lot of women feel. i have many female friends who are not at all happy with what is happening right now.
this movement is conveniently ignoring a huge population of women who are saying they are indeed uncomfortable with sharing a bathroom with men, competing in sports with men who have gone through puberty who are twice their size and have an obvious unfair advantage over them yet the wokies are basically saying to them, “so? too bad.”
they’re basically like, “we don’t care if you feel uncomfortable as long as WE feel comfortable.”
um…i’m sorry but how is that okay?😅

Oh shit missed that, thanks. Okay but that goes to show that they faced proper push back on that and it being age inappropriate. Brother I can go look at what the outline of the curriculum is. No, it's not the same as being in class, but you can read what it's generally supposed to be.
All that other shit you said is basically niche issues which I talked about before.

lol oh sorry i didn’t get the notification for this until now for some reason. well it might be a “niche” issue for us men, but to women it’s not. people might say things like, “well what’s wrong with letting men compete in women’s sports? what’s the big deal?” but they don’t realize that it’s scholarships, educational opportunities, job opportunities, careers, money that you are taking away from biological women who deserve them and who have trained all their lives to get where they’re at. :/
to us dudes, it may just be a “niche” issue but to the women in sports and the families who are rooting for them, it’s not really a “niche” issue. it’s their entire lives probably. so i just hope they take that into consideration when making rules for sports. you know? 🤷‍♂️
genders were separated in sports because of real differences between man and woman, not the social construct of gender.

Hold on. "well what’s wrong with letting men compete in women’s sports? what’s the big deal?” ----- this is not the thought by like literally anyone with half a brain. Which is part of the reason it's a niche issue, there's such a small amount and people generally do not think trans people should be in their identified-sport.
" but they don’t realize that it’s scholarships, educational opportunities, job opportunities, careers, money that you are taking away from biological women who deserve them and who have trained all their lives to get where they’re at. :/" ----- This might be a point. However and I know it's different because we're men, do you ever think about transmen taking opportunity from you? Being in your bathroom, etc? I know that I don't. Maybe it doesn't apply, idk.
"genders were separated in sports because of real differences between man and woman, not the social construct of gender." ----- that's cool and I think most people agree.
Again you're getting more wrapped up in those kinda things when that's not what my issue has ever been.
It's been with people saying they're making the kids gay and trans by teaching them about other people existing.

Well they are because when you are a teen your biggest issue is with identity and giving an option to stand out from the crowd is appealing to many so they adopt it

If someone is genuinely trans then that is their choice but kids are too impressionable to make such a serious life-changing choice and when it becomes part of their identity, which is still forming, then it is dangerous if they initially do it for the wrong reasons

i was reading the youtube comments under detransitioner interviews and a lot of people were saying stuff like “i seriously thought i was trans when i really was just a tomboy. thank god i didn’t go through with any irreversible, life-altering surgeries.

now i’m married with a beautiful daughter and a loving husband.”

so yeah definitely like you said, some kids/teens are really THAT impressionable. and irresponsible adults confirming these kids’ temporary whims without fully knowing the long term effects is very dangerous.
