"What happens when kids stop believing in fairies? They will have to completely re-assess everything they have been taught about this subject.

"What is wrong with saying that some people think that no one can tell you if you are a boy or a girl instead of stating it like a fact? It is the dishonesty in the way this material is presented which makes it unfit to be in the curriculum. It just shows how insecure are those people who prepare this material that they have to hide behind fairies and calling opinions facts."

Did you use the word *fairies* pointedly, phanto??

I agree with the premise of your question -

"What is wrong with saying that some people think that no one can tell you if you are a boy or a girl ..."

But I disagree with your assertion that the way the material is being presented is dishonest; and I disagree with the implication the material is dishonest
.

Donnelly says - " ..there is nothing stopping primary school children looking around the SSCA website and getting themselves onto the MINUS18 website to read about binding, tucking and packing."

So what??! Kids may try it (many boys have, at one stage, briefly 'tucked' their penis, out of interest). It seems unlikely people who do not want to exhibit a change in gender will persistently do it.

'The concern about the Safe Schools program is faux; and is, ironically, bullying.

yeah McReal the perpetual victim. Gives you the licence to any sort of perverted activity just as long as you are the victim.

If you do your homework I think you will find that Greg belongs to the deeply misogynist outfit opus dei. Their attitude to sexuality and the body altogether is very double-minded and deeply puritanical too. Their senior members practice bodily mortification on a daily basis, as described here: http://www.odan.org/corporal_mortification.htm

Would you send your children to a school where the staff either practice or subscribe to this essentially psychotic practice?

McReal:

“Did you use the word *fairies* pointedly, phanto??”

I used that word because the educators used it. You are the one that seems to want to draw some pointedness from it. Why is that?

“I agree with the premise of your question –“

Questions don’t have premises. I asked a question. I was not mounting an argument.

“But I disagree with your assertion that the way the material is being presented is dishonest; and I disagree with the implication the material is dishonest”

I never said the material was dishonest. Material cannot be either honest or dishonest – only people can be honest or dishonest. It is being dishonest when you present something as fact when it is only just an opinion.

Anyone with an open mind should be able to discern that the 'anti-bullying' agenda for school students is really just another same sex agenda to promote everything other than 'normal' heterosexual sexuality as normal. It is now 'not politically/media correct' to utilize the term 'queer' regarding homosexuals even though they are 'queer' in the worldwide social framework [it is not commonly-practiced throughout the world regardless of whether the approx. 2.5-3% of the world - (not Kinsey's discredited 'research' which claimed 10%) believe themselves to not be 'unusual or queer' compared to the other 93% who do not subscribe to it as queer)]. Queer is now the new 'normal'; homosexuality widely marketed as being 'happy' [gay]. 'Discrimination', once held to a right of all, including parents, to evaluate and decide what views or stance they will take about anything is also legally 'outlawed' if it varies from those who wish to push a particular anti-discrimination agenda.
Truth about motives is rather scant in many discourses whether it be pedophile clergy et al being 'normal' with boys or homosexual pedophiles being 'normal' with boys and impressionable children. Concerned parents need to be contacting their local and federal politicians and tell them that they and their friends will not vote for them if they support 'discriminatory' aspects of the 'Anti Bullying' program in schools which are a clever marketing ploy of the Homosexual/Transsexual et al members of society. Or is this suggestion also seen to be divisive and clearly discriminatory but if the homosexual lobby group do the same to push their agendas perhaps this is clearly not discriminatory?
