old'un Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Am I getting old or is this just a ridiculous idea, I cannot see how a 5 year old can be asked such a question, let them be kids and stop putting more and more pressure on them, 80.000 children in the UK are estimated to suffer from severe depression.http://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2016/04/19/brighton-and-hove-schools-ask-three-year-olds-what-gender-if-any-they-identify-with/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Next step is Sharia law and ban Christmas to make it "a holiday". Much of GB supports policies that end up being the lowest common denominator and PC correctness that dilutes values. This is another example.

felly100 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Quite a leap from trying to understand and support kids with gender issues to a Muslim takeover. I'm sure it was worded badly but I would like to think if my daughter had issues like that,her peers and the school would be supportive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 not really, just creep here and there, get a few elected posts in influential places then get the law changes....... Look at the EU parliament, where will that end? What is their agenda? A single European state perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Depressed bloody hell if you ask any child after you tell them no your not getting an ice cream new toy etc. The mealy mouthed do gliders would say they are depressed. All a load of tosh,give them a thick ear and tell them to get out and play. Better yet ask them if they want a clout to give them something to be sad about.

Never understood hitting children, I see it as no different from any other assault. A parent hitting their kids is a parent who has lost control of the situation.

FalconFN Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Times change smacking was quite normal when I was a kid, under the age of ten I was often caned at school, twice on each hand, didnt do me one hapeth of good Before I became a dad I was not against smacking and like many I had the occasional well deserved clout, but as soon as my eldest was born I knew I'd never raise my hand to them, and I never have. Mind you, in the last 12 years I've never asked my kids which gender the most associate with either. Why the council need to know what gender a child feels closest to is beyond me. In the unlikely event that a 4 year old, or the family, have any gender issues then surely it's better to let them talk to the school themselves and not via some impersonal form.

Benthejockey Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I can remember getting a couple of slaps as a young un and it hasn't done me any harm. If the naughty little scrotes nowadays had a slap or actually had their parents had a slap then they wouldn't be the little ******** they are now.

felly100 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I can remember getting a couple of gender dysphoria questionnaires when I was a kid. Never did me any harm. Kids don't know they're born these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
