Boys can have periods too, children to be taught in latest victory for transgender campaigners

Helena Horton 16 December 2018 • 2:44pm 3-4 minutes

School children will be taught that "all genders" can have periods in new sex education lessons, in a victory for transgender rights campaigners.

The advice to teachers was approved by Brighton & Hove City Council as they try to tackle stigma around menstruation.

The new advice follows a council report which said: "Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods", adding that "menstruation must be inclusive of all genders".

Bins used for menstruation products will be provided in all toilets for children, according to the report.

It also calls for transgender students and pupils to be provided with additional support from a school nurse if needed.

The report recommends that "language and learning about periods is inclusive of all genders, cultures, faiths and sexual orientations. For example; ‘girls and women and others who have periods'".

Brighton & Hove City Council said in a statement: "By encouraging effective education on menstruation and puberty, we hope to reduce stigma and ensure no child or young person feels shame in asking for period products inside or outside of school if they need them.

"We believe that it’s important for all genders to be able to learn and talk about menstruation together… Our approach recognises the fact that some people who have periods are trans or non-binary."

The same council also recently released a "Trans Inclusion Schools Toolkit" to help teachers treat gender identity sensitively.

When you embrace mental illness you by default are mentally ill.

PC gender equality triumphs over factual science.

Now boys will be expected to have empathetic menstrual cycles.

Soon schools will heave them engage in sex at a pre pubescent ages.

Seeing the world through their crotches, these kids won’t be able to even have a normal adolescence.

In 5000 years of recorded history, and I’m guessing in all the years of human existence before that, one one has ever heard of such a thing until now. You’d figure with something like that somebody somewhere would have noticed and it would have become more or less common knowledge, but no. We do live in wondrous times.

It’s ovaries and uterus that cause menstruation.

Fake vaginas don’t have periods

I believe the medical term for the male equivalent of a menstrual period is called a refractory period. This is the length of time it takes a man to achieve an erection capable of ejaculation of semen until the next time he can do that.

It varies from a few hours in young men to a few days (or more) in older men. Yeah, there were a few times (when I first got married) that they were as little as 2-3 hours apart. I can even think of a couple of times when it was pretty much the whole night. It isn't unheard of among married couples who actually love having kids almost as much as they enjoy conceiving them.

Wow, and I thought I had it bad when I took our Volvo 740 station wagon into the dealership 26 times to find out why the ABS went on randomly. 🤨 Glad they found it and you got well!

It’s certainly no fun watching what’s happening to society today.

When I read Kurt Schlichter’s novels about the “Peoples Republic” that is formed when the red states and the blue split, I thought no way - couldn’t collapse that fast. But it’s happening before our eyes in Formerly Great Britain.

It’s strange how seemingly normal people allow themselves and their kids to be led around by the nose by misguided misfits.

I guess this explains why Don Lemonaids has his little hissy fits. But that would mean he’s on the rag permanently.

Brighton is the homosexual capital of England. So, yes, I fully expect to start seeing this crap in San Francisco and Key West soon.

You have to remember, folks, that these are the same people that believe “real” science also tells us that in a few years New York City is going to be under 20 feet of water because of Global Warming...They believe the same science tells them that there are multiple genders...
