Schools are now encouraging children to ‘transition’ without telling parents LGBT teachers are coaching kids and encouraging them to ‘come out’ which the staff see as evidence that they are ‘doing something right.’

LifeSiteNews) – One of the key accusations consistently leveled against Libs of TikTok, which has made countless videos of trans activists go viral – stating their agenda and views in their own words – is that they cherry-pick egregious examples of people saying things out of context to further a “transphobic” agenda.

This, obviously, is a weak attempt to divert our attention from the fact that these videos were first posted by trans activists themselves, and that we should listen very closely to what they are saying due to their position of cultural influence.

One recent example from Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital shows the director of the Adolescent Speciality Clinic, which services children as young as twelve, stating that part of their patients’ visits involves having a confidential meeting with children while the parents are absent—in order to create a “safe space.”

As I’ve noted before, this is yet another example of how trans activists are increasingly saying that it is necessary for children to be cut off from their parents because it is actually LGBT activists, not mothers and fathers, who know what is best for children. This narrative is being pushed by some of the most prestigious publications, and it is vile and dangerous.

Consider how the Times, one of the U.K.’s leading newspapers, frames the problem in their recent report titled “Teachers face ‘significant challenges’ to avoid outing trans pupils to parents.” Read that again, closely. This article explains why teachers are struggling—to hide information about children from their mothers and fathers. The article is so sinister it is important to quote it at length:

Teachers face “significant challenges” trying to avoid accidentally outing trans children to their parents amid a surge in pupils adopting new gender identities. Staff at Queen Anne High School, in Dunfermline, are told to ask pupils what name, gender and pronouns they use at home before speaking to parents.

The school’s pride club has expanded across two classrooms after an “absolutely huge” number of pupils expressed an interest in signing up to discuss their LGBT identities…Gareth Surgey, a science teacher, said: “The challenges of parents’ night when getting names, gender and pronouns right is significant for many staff. Maybe the child hasn’t communicated that at home so that will create a bit of angst for the teacher because we all want to get that sort of thing right for the child.”

What that teacher is saying is that parents may pose a danger to their child, and that as such, key information about how that child is choosing to identify must be hidden from their parents in order to protect them from their own family. More:

Last year, official advice was published to help support trans children in school which ministers said was “not prescriptive and did not promote transitioning”. The recommendations included not forcing a trans pupil to use a specific lavatory, trying to make social dancing events less gender-specific and using the name and pronouns requested by the child. Schools were also urged to include parents in discussions about their child’s gender identity.

Lynx, a transgender pupil who uses the pronouns they/he/it, said the school was “extremely supportive with every little tweak” of gender identity as they adjusted. One history, geography and modern studies teacher simply goes by the name “Dr T” and uses the pronouns they, Dr or sometimes Mx, a gender-neutral alternative to Mr, Mrs or Ms.

They said: “I never felt like I was a boy or a girl growing up and I still don’t feel I am a man or a woman. I grew up in a relatively conservative environment in central Europe. I think we should be really happy that kids have these tools now so they can grow up more happy and free than some of us did. A couple of months ago the principal literally told me, ‘you’re so flamboyant, we need you’ and for me to feel needed and wanted for being different really made me feel welcome.”

Dr T advised pupils considering coming out that they “have to be patient and do a lot of work to explain yourself to people”. They said: “It is really difficult, but unfortunately we have to do [all this extra work] to respect others’ experiences even if we cannot understand it.”

Got that? LGBT teachers are coaching kids and encouraging them to “come out”—so much so that the LGBT club is predictably exploding—which the staff see as evidence that they are “doing something right”:

An S2 transgender pupil who changed their name to Mars last year said they received a lot of support from teachers helping classmates adjust to the new name and correcting their pronouns. Lynsay Duff, a physics teacher, said she recently had to split the pride club that she ran into two rooms “because so many people want to come along at lunch time and share their experiences”. She said: “We are obviously doing something right here at Queen Anne because we have an absolutely huge number of pupils attending the pride club.”

The Times then quotes a parent who struggled with their child coming out as “non-binary,” but noted that after she also had been educated about all of this, she realized that her struggles were her problem.

Another mother noted that she also had a non-binary or “gender-fluid” 14-year-old that the school had supported (dare we say “encouraged?”). In fact, one “non-binary” student noted that the school was “really helpful in helping me come out and discover my identity,” with a young student who identifies as transgender telling the Times that the school “was excellent on equalities.”

At no point does the Times ask why so many students in so many schools are coming out as “non-binary” or “gender-fluid” or “transgender;” at no point do any of the educators wonder why there is a sudden explosion of interest in identifying as part of the ever-expanding LGBTetc acronym. It is simply accepted as a very good thing; as evidence that they are “doing something right” and “something to be encouraged.” Nobody seems to wonder if the encouragement is the problem here.

I am SO glad we homeschooled. Schools are now the playground of woke activists and perversion grooming.

The “teachers” and the government are creating a completely dysfunctional generation.

“our little secret” was the phrase used by child molesters for hundreds of years. Now it is the norm used by teachers and the government sanctions it. I saw a video that was on youtube 10 years ago and its gone now by a lesbian who actually said that things like pedophilia is a wrong term, that mentoring a child on their sexual desires early on is important to their growth as an individual. So the goal of the LBGQT has been to groom these kids all along

Anyone supporting, encouraging and medically endorsing this should be imprisoned for life although a death sentence would be more fitting.

This is one more demonstration of how the Left is built on ideas that have no natural equilibrium.

By this I mean (as an example), at first, they ask for tolerance for gays. Once they get that, they ask for tolerance of gay exhibitionism (like parades). Then they ask for tolerance of gays in leadership positions. Then they make gayness an advantage for being in a leadership position. Then they seek tolerance as gays groom children. Then they make it seem that NOT BEING gay is unacceptable and that everyone should be gay.

Then they even try to obliterate gender identification altogether by convincing everyone that there is no such thing as gender (to prove it they encourage everyone to change genders).

Of course, it won't stop there because, as said at the beginning, the Left has no equilibrium, no limiting factors. It has to get more and more extreme because that is its nature...destruction of balance in human behavior.

These woke perverted activists, including the Director of the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital Adolescent Speciality Clinic, should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to be publicly hanged for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Meanwhile, check out the Selective Service...

Interesting that trans women are women until they need cannon fodder... check out that last section...

The .pdf doc at the link states that biological males who transition to the female gender still have to register for the draft, but biological females who transition to the male gender do not...

Maybe we should just declare OPEN SEASON on these perverts with NO BAG LIMIT. I’m sure there are enough pissed off parents to “solve” this problem quickly.

“This article explains why teachers are struggling—to hide information about children from their mothers and fathers.”

These teachers are trifling with human souls. There is no coming back from these mutilations. They should be tried in court and given the death penalty. Then they can be concerned with their own “transition.”

The Newspeak definition of gender was implemented by a pedophile plastic surgeon, who performed the first “sex change” surgery - Dr John Money.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
