So father of local 10 yr old girl goes to see head of local school to say daughter wants to identify as male, be called by a boy's name and to bind her breasts.
Reassured there are a number of children in this position in school and indeed they have their own 'club'.

Not in the least bit surprised. A secondary school teacher I know estimates there is at least one similar case in each class there (ie all age groups).

Poor mixed up child but if genuine at least the father acted in a responsible way by letting the school know how his daughter feels, even if it is at the moment.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

An old fashioned bigoted one unless he is having another wind us up session.

I think some old fashioned scepticism comes as not unhelpful to the children involved.

Keef, a good one I hope imparting knowledge whilst opposing 'der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen' copyright Rudi Dutschke.
As for my year filling up I didn't realise #MentalHealthWeek had expanded so much!
You really think they have kids who can't tell if they're a boy or a girl or a wardrobe in the greater part of the world and stupid, stupid parents agreeing?

Maybe it's not the world that's gone mad?
It astonishes me just how much some people get their knickers in a right twist over topics such as this. So twisted that sometimes they'll deny that things such as androgyny and hermaphroditism.even exist.
"Oh no. Not everyone is like me and my social group. I'm frightened by this minority. Even though they are just that. A minority. And therefore not really a threat to me in the great scheme of things. But they've pointed out that they exist and I've somehow convinced myself that this means they're trying to take over. And I'm so madly angry and obsessed I'm going to try to convince you that lies are true as well.".
Goes well with pineapple but gives elderly white British males a bad rep generally.
Love & tolerance & understanding over hate & prejudice all day long.

Gender-related pronouns have been (or at least, were) with us a long time now, but of course weren't needed originally (in the days when the only form of address was "Oi, you!") In fact, things were going just fine right up until Genesis 2:21, when
A little while after Creation
And the Lord comes on the phone
"How are things down in the Garden -
Are you OK living alone?"
Adam, deep in an Xbox game
And still not even dressed,
Mumbled "Give me a mate to play with, Lord,
And I'd count myself well blessed".
Now maybe that was not best-phrased
For the Lord (as boffins will)
Tinkered at the drawing-board
Making tweaks designed to thrill.
But as Adam said soon after
"Now nothing's going to plan
In fact I have to ask You, Lord,
Why this woman ain't a man?"
"I can't get bladdered anymore -
It's all milk and wholesome food
And if I put the footie on
Eve stomps off in a mood.
The odd spring-clean was fine by me
But things are now much worse -
Today I found my favourite chair
Is labelled: 'THIS IS HERS!'"

I see there's a "Gay Uncle Day" but no "Gay Aunt Day". Isn't that sexist?
