A difficult subject to discuss these days as you can get attacked very easily from any direction! Maybe controversially I do think this is being taught far too early to kids causing them to question their existence in their body. While I am not saying binary gender is not a thing, I can't help but think young kids are very influential and are still discovering themselves; developing if you like and with all this in the media I adds another think to question and try. It's like the recent pride events in the UK now I support the gay community doing this but I went to one with my mother and her gay friend. The majority of the people there were school kids in my opinion jumping on the band wagon as it's the cool thing. Which to be kind of dampens the message as it's now a trendy think to say "i went to a pride event". I discussed this at the time and do think.... any that's another tangent. So yes I don't think this should be taught / prompted to young kids in school. Don't get me wrong it should not be blocked out for kids; parents have a responsibility to explain these things and teach equality and acceptance of all. But to teach it in primary schools and young kids is confusing for them I think, maybe i'm wrong 💯🐒
