Parents have been left furious after receiving a letter instructing them to help their four-year-olds choose a gender before they start primary school.
Brighton and Hove City Council sent a letter to hundreds of families telling them which school their child would attend in September but asked them to respond with which gender their child preferred.
Along with the main text in the letter, there was also a note next to the tickbox for male/female explaining that the national recording system only gives two options for gender but to help their child choose a gender they most identified with.
It read: 'We recognise that not all children and young people identify with the gender they were assigned at birth or may identify as a gender other than male or female, however the current systems (set nationally) only record gender as male or female.
'Please support your child to choose the gender they most identify with. Or if they have another gender identity please leave this blank and discuss with your child's school.'
Parents have criticised the move claiming children should be allowed to 'enjoy their innocence'.
They also described it as a 'dangerous approach' since four-year-olds do not yet have an adult view of the world or fully understand gender roles.
One mother said: 'Children do not have access to an adult view of the world – they don't fully understand permanence, social structures, what is possible and what is not possible.
'Four-year-olds do not generally have fixed views and often don't fully understand that their sex, colour or even species is fixed.
'Treating children as though they are adults is a dangerous approach from a safeguarding point of view. They are not adults – let them enjoy the innocence and creativity of their childhood.'

The sexual deviants who came up with this should be taken out and beheaded. They are some sick, sick bastards.
Isn’t it also oppression to make them choose?
These child abusers are deliberately trying to cause psychological and emotional difficulties for the rest of these poor children’s lives.
You've entered the twilight zone
Brighton & Hove, no surprise there. Bunch of whackos, their MP is the only “Green” MP in the country and batty at that.
If my kid came up with some form like this...I’d cross off male and female, and write in “Walrus”. I’d just note that he’s working hard to transform himself eventually into a Walrus. Let them figure out the rest.
can anyone tell me what an other than male of female gender is
The stupidity spreads like wildfire.
Actuall I’m pretty sure the infection started across the pond and migrated here.
I think facebook has 78 or 113 or something.
The insanity continues unabated.
I’ll bet they will have far more “puppy”, “horsie”, and “kitty” answers than they have children identifying their sex incorrectly.
When my daughter was four, she thought she was the Queen of Siam. Where is the tick box for that?
America rather aggressive exports itsrot. Check out the priorities of Hollywood, Wall Street, and the U.S. State Dept.
Can the world’s Marxist media get any more insane than their reporting this utter insanity as anything other than severe mental illness or parody?
