Even you can have a period and PMS

More dumbness from the left.....it's amazing any of us grew to be happy, productive people without these "experts" around to explain it all.  LMAO

I teach 2nd grade (8 year olds). No way I'm teaching any of them about periods! Having dealt with periods as many years as I have I can tell you there isn't one darn thing to celebrate. Yes let's celebrate the screaming migraine headache I get to deal with 4 days out of every month for the last 33 years. Awesome. 

Who are these people who come up with this stuff?! 

I recommend you read the actual document, linked from the article, that explains the program's goals.

The education is meant to be age appropriate and the point is to destigmatize periods and made period products available to the children who need them. Frankly I think this program should admired and not mocked.    

If you were never a young girl trying to hide period blood on your jeans at school you can't possibly understand how bad it can feel.  It must be even worse for a younger-than-average child to get their period, or a child who isn't living their life as a traditional girl (and using the boys bathroom in some cases).    

And P.S. There are societies that celebrate periods.   For many, fertility is worth celebrating.     (And I personally hate my period and wish it would go away, but that doesn't change this fact.)

"Brighton & Hove City Council, in the south of England, has been something of a trailblazer with regards to introducing “progressive” policies, having started quizzing four-year-old infants about their “gender identity” back in 2016."

Yeah.....no.

After reading that, I quit paying attention to anything even remotely related to Brighton & Hove.

I'm sure the left has a name for me because of that.  I don't care.

Yep.

And that's the problem from my view....that community will soon want it's "normal" to become normal in every community.  Eventually they will disparage all who don't agree with them as they seek to make their "normal" the normal for my family......I even saw where they recommend calling social services on parents who don't encourage their children who claim to be transgender.  Again, that's what they do.

I'm perfectly fine with them in their own community......we used to call those communes.  I was fine with that too.  I don't care what they believe and I'm content to live and let live.... But that's never enough.

So, nope.

So... it's ok for you (LeftBrain, Rogillio) to think what you want to think - but not ok for others to think what they want to think?  And if someone thinks differently from you they should move to another community?  Why do they have to move?

I just want to be totally clear on this point. 

I've read the guidelines a few times through now.  There is no part that suggests men have any sort of "period."  They are saying that trans men and boys have periods - meaning that humans with female reproductive parts, but identifying as boys or men, will have periods.  Of course this is logical if you know how reproductive parts work, but might be confusing to see a "boy" who needs period products.

Also, there seems to be a confusion that this city is asking parents to question "4 year old infants" (which is just a silly way to describe a 4-year-old) if they are trans.  They are offering resources to parents whose children ARE questioning their gender.

My beef here is falling prey to a method of journalism that contorts actual facts, and then basing opinions on that.  I am not arguing whether you, as individuals, should accept this policy.  But that you make the effort to actually read and understand it before passing judgment.

Hell no....where did I say that?  My problem is people who don't accept that others don't think like they do as they try to push their belief's on others and disparage people who don't think like they do.  I don't live around people who don't have my general belief and value system....and if people who don't share my values move into my community I will happily leave and find a place where I can live comfortably.  I don't need to live in any community where values don't line up with my own, or my family's, and I won't.

There is no amount of name calling or belligerence that can cause me to line up with people that I don't agree with in regard to basic values.  It rolls off me like water off a duck's back.  But nobody will push their beliefs on me or cause me to shrink from my own.  Like I said....I'm good with live and let live, believe whatever you want....just don't expect me to follow blindly along because you think I should, or because you think your way is the right way. 

I despise most progressive values because, as I said, it's not enough that I will just let you be and cause you no harm (not you personally, of course, I don't know your politics and I don't care)....you will not be happy until you have destroyed ALL of the values I hold dear and live by.  That's not going to happen.

Funny....I get most of my news from CNN and would never look at a site like breitbart, or whatever it's called.  I understand the issues just fine, thanks.
