Reading, writing and arithmetic are the fundamentals of what our taxpayer-funded schools are supposed to be teaching our children, right? It seems as though a new generation of teachers has shifted that to reading, writing, and writhing in agony as they force children to examine the infinitesimally small possibility that they might be trans-gender. The fundamental identity children develop as they reach middle school usually includes their gender, but activist teachers are skulking around targeting for gender interventions children who fit some undefined criteria as “potentially trans.” Rather than embracing the full spectrum of what it means to be female, or male, they lead children down the path of thinking that their bodies may be a mistake. How is that in any way kind to children who are already going through the most difficult time of their lives – puberty?
Puberty is challenging. Having a difficult time with puberty is NORMAL. Going through puberty and hating the hygienic challenges of menstruation or nocturnal emissions is NORMAL. Learning how to be present in a body that suddenly is sprouting breasts and hair in places there was none before or in a body that is smelling like a Sasquatch with halitosis is the intellectual and emotional work of puberty. Activist teachers, however, are selling “the grass is greener” in the other gender escapism along with the “your body is a mistake” message to the most vulnerable population in the world – middle schoolers.
