Toddlers are Quackers

[Bantambird]

Feel free to share thoughts on the world today, and how sex-ed has gotten so graphic, taught so early, and covers so much!
I was educated a few days ago that preschools teach about the right to choose. One doctor defended the school saying 4-yr-olds know how they feel sexually.
I will say that I was called a tomboy at about six. If I had been told at four that I was allowed to choose my sex, that comment would have had a different outcome.

Personally, children should not be allowed to do any of that until after puberty, and they are grown ups. Most kids not only don't know what they want, they are always changing and exploring. Plus, hormones can effectively sterilize children so they won't be able to have kids of their own later on. Let them dress up, let them play, pretend, but that other stuff, the heavy stuff, that's for grown ups.
Why can't kids just be kids?
BTW I was also a tomboy too. Now I've got a slew of kids and a husband. I'm still not particularly girly, but I'm perfectly fine with me.

My parents made sure we were ladies with brains. We wore a lot of dresses (back when you had play clothes and school clothes), and knew how to eat at a fancy restaurant. We had to properly set the table or make the beds for important company, and behave. We also know how to build a doghouse out of a barrel, camp for real (One sibling was two weeks when she first went), change tires and change the insides of the toilet tank.
The day I mentioned, I was at the doctor, not wearing a dress. In fact, I was wearing purple corduroy overalls, and a white blouse (I remember odd things!). I was sitting on a phone stand, coloring. I asked my mother if I was a boy. I didn’t know anymore!

Duckling wore my boots outside. I can’t believe how well they actually fit. Yes, I was warm enough too. I had to tend the birds, and it’s “warm enough” for her too. 18*, and no windchill.

My they grow up fast! Let them help while they like it, so they learn to do chores i say.

When Duckling has an accident, something is wrong. It’s usually an infection. This evening, I really think it was stress. She switched schools. I’m not sure what the new plan is exactly, but keeping her most nights seems to be the new plan. Someone takes her to school, and she’s back to me afterwards.
She doesn’t know the teachers and students, and now there’s a unisex bathroom. Two toilets, no divider. She watched a boy peeing, and is disturbed by it. I know the world is changing. I’m not going to even get into it all. She’s adjusting to a lot, so her mind wasn’t on her bladder (she had also just peed ten minutes before. Obviously she didn’t empty her bladder).

Why in the world would there be uni sex bathrooms for preschoolers!!! that is just ridiculous.

I think that a lot of transgender stuff has arisen because of parents being unwilling to let their little boys touch purple/pink/glittery toys and girls touch tools/cars/dinosaurs etc. "If I like flowers, I must be a girl!" "If I like building stuff, I must be a boy!" I built stuff, dug for worms, fished, enjoyed cleaning fish ('cause I could work on identifying the organs!), used a bow and arrow, etc. I was mad that boys could run around shirtless and I couldn't, but aside from that, I always knew I was a girl.

I'm trying to teach my son to keep his privates private, and open-plan bathrooms would be a no-go for me, unisex or not. I'd have no problem with unisex bathrooms - if every toilet/urinal had a stall with a well-fitted, locking door that extends a good way towards the floor. No problem with washing your hands in the same room as the opposite sex.

I made a sign today.

though my parents let me run around shirtless until i was in 1st grade(?)
