LGBTQ Pride Storybooks in Maryland Public Schools - the battle of national interest

I remember back in the day, in the long ago, when parents used to have a say in what their children learned at school.

Really?

You couldn’t even get your school records without a court order.

Now you're just making crap up.

If we're going to do that, then I have a Unicorn named Jeffery and a light sabre.

Sex difference in the human brain.

SCIENCE

On average, males and females showed greater volume in different areas of the cortex, the outer brain layer that controls thinking and voluntary movements. Females had greater volume in the prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, superior temporal cortex, lateral parietal cortex, and insula. Males, on average, had greater volume in the ventral temporal and occipital regions. Each of these regions is responsible for processing different types of information.

You just proved the point that men can act like woman but they are still a man
and woman can act like men but but they are still women.

AGAIN with the physical.

In one ear and out the other.

NO — I’m not.

Access to your school records became a fight in the courts.

YOU posted the physical. YOU DID.
YOU posted the difference between male and female brains.
YOU showed proof that the bodies are differently made and that the BIRTH GENDER determined the difference.
YOU showed proof that a male brain is always a male brain even when on TRANS pills.
YOU showed proof that a female brain is always a female brain even when on TRANS pills.
YOU DID THAT. YOU.

She's been doing it the whole thread. A few pages back she falsely claimed that science didn't know why people are heterosexual. Guess she skipped 5th grade science class that talked about reproduction and the drive of the species to mate and procreate. Guess she didn't want to be a 'robot' and sit in a chair and learn.

So there's no need for surgeries and hormones. Right on.

Very cute. My kid likes My Little Pony.

Public school records were considered government records. You had to get a court order.

It became a court case — the people won.

Same with medical records.

Late 50s/60s.

WTH?

You're arguing something that happened 70 years ago?

Was that while you were on your way to the 5 & Dime? Perhaps for a malted before going to the talking picture shows at the bijou?

sigh. yes, it seems we totally all agree on this. There is no way on God's green Earth for a man to become a woman or vice versa. If someone claims they are the other, they are mentally ill, and need therapy. They can pretend to be the other, but understand, everyone knows they can't really do it. You included.

And if that makes them happy, good for them. Mess with the kids, and we got a problem.

Annee (or anyone) I'll stop being a pest on this point if you really don't care or think it's relevant to the subject as a whole. So this will be the last I ask about it.

What about the Detrans and their experiences?

It happened in MY real time.

I remember it.

Fox News

The book that MCPS has recommended for children in pre-kindergarten is "Pride Puppy," which teaches terms like "intersex," "drag king," "drag queen" and "Marsha P. Johnson," the late famed drag performer.

Pre-K teachers are also provided a resource guide about "defining LGBTQ+ words for elementary students" by the Human Rights Campaign, which includes vocabulary like "cisgender," "gender binary," "transgender," "pansexual" and "queer."

Students in kindergarten, ages 5 and 6, are advised to read the 2021 book, "Uncle Bobby’s Wedding," which is about a wedding between two men.

Students in first grade are advised to read "IntersectionAllies: We Make Room for All," which includes LGBTQ+ topics on being "non-binary" and deciding "what pronouns fit you best."

Students in second grade, ages 7 and 8, are recommended to read "My Rainbow," a book about a Black transgender child that teaches the words "transgender" and "cisgender." A "think aloud" moment, according to MCPS, includes, "Appreciating that Trinity’s identities are part of what make her a 'masterpiece.'

Third-graders, ages 8 and 9, are recommended to read the 2018 book "Prince & Knight," which tells the story of a prince who falls in love with a knight.

Fourth-graders are recommended to read the 2022 book "Love, Violet," which tells the story of a queer child who develops a crush on her friend, Mira.

Students in fifth-grade, ages 10 and 11, are advised to read "Born Ready," which tells the story of a Black transgender child.

My interest is in “beginnings”.

Building self-esteem and getting the emotional/psychological needs of each individual child.

Check.

Well then maybe you should take interest in what they have to say, because they talk about the beginnings and how they were influenced or not given enough support to discover they didn't actually feel the ways they did.

But their insights, and emotional and psychological needs be damned after the fact I guess. And to hell with any trauma incurred during the process.

Well yeah. It’s your thing.

I don’t have the energy to be everything to everybody.

My focus is the “beginnings”. More support will help prevent regrettable decisions.

Acknowledging they're confused and that they're not the opposite gender. They don't need hormones, 'blockers', or butchering of their genitals. These procedures should become illegal in all states. They are already illegal in many states but unfortunately we have the blue pseudo-liberal crap to deal with.

Preventing the hormonal 'treatments' and the mutilations of body parts will be great.

I remember rotary Bakelite phones and 5 digit phone numbers.

Doesn't mean it still applies.

And here you claim to be the progressive one.
