Dubious sex education for 8 year olds

My granddaughter is 8 years old and attends state school in Brisbane North. There was a discussion about what to call her vagina. A teacher suggested an alternative and that was the word "cupcake". I immediately thought about reading the terrible case of Daniel Morecombe where he was referred to by a paedophile as "Christmas Cake"

This is not beneficial to any 8 years old but it must beneficial to somebody or group to insist on inserting dubious sex education in a curriculum. I believe it is seen as useful in the ultimate aim of political indoctrination in their teenage and adult life. One's sexuality is a powerful force and once it kicks in it can be manipulated as a tool of persuasion by a trained individual who is consumed by tyrannical political zealotry.

Pushing taxpayer funded mastectomy & castration

My child goes to a public school in Victoria.

The school newsletter has joyfully reported that "all toilets now have inclusive signage" I am sure many parents do not realise that this signifies that boys will now be allowed into girls toilets- and vice versa.

The newsletter has also included a link to a petition to the federal government asking for "gender affirming surgery" to be publicly funded. The school has a thriving "Queer Club".

These are only a couple of examples of the multiple ways in which gender ideology is promoted in the school. Victoria is a gender ideologist's paradise. The most draconian "gender conversion therapy ban" legislation in the world has just been passed- it will lead to gender non conforming kids being deprived of the mental health care they need, and funnelled to medical transition instead and will do great harm.

Headmistress didn't back down

My daughter attends a local private pre-school. The parents of a boy informed the school that he now identifies as a girl, and that the teachers and other children should now refer to him with female pronouns and his new name.

Fortunately, the Director of the pre-school is a very experienced woman who owns the school herself and has a background in child protection. She responded by saying that every child's voice is important and she would not be compelling the other children to use that language or to confuse them (these are 3 and 4 year olds!).

Also that the toilets are open plan and mixed sex, seeing a "girl" with a penis could be distressing and confusing to the other children. And we all know who the boy is, it’s the big boofy kid with the male nickname in a Frozen dress.

The Director also told me that she was contacted by a private organisation that said she needed to sign up with them to provide training for the teachers regarding gender identity, gender non-conformity and LGBTIQ sexualities under the guise of “diversity, inclusion, equality” training. When the Director refused, the organisation (wrongly said) that they would be legally liable if they did not. The Director is an experienced and mature woman who would not be able to be pushed around, and she stood up to them.

As far as I am aware, they did not contact her again. But imagine if it had been an inexperienced young manager who did not feel she could stand up to this person?
