This is a link post Give us ya fookin money!
Crowdfunder to print and distribute Transgender Trend's schools pack.

Teachers currently have no guidance on supporting gender-questioning children other than to affirm to them that they are truly "born in the wrong body". Not everyone thinks this is a good idea.

Transgender Trend has put together a comprehensive set of resources for teachers and schools on how to support gender non-conforming children. I've read it, and it's an extremely humane document packed with seemingly good advice.

Take a look and see if it's something you'd like to support.

This is a normal post I tell my son
“Don’t make up your mind if you’re for or against transgender until you’ve fucked one”. I give him the same advice about fox hunting

On a serious note, I'm aware that this is a sensitive issue and that it's fairly easy for TRAs to shout "conversion therapy!!" at those who tell kids that they may not be trans and should not rush to transition.

At the same time, teachers have no official guidance except what is coming from the trans lobby. That's why I believe this pack is so important. For what it's worth, I believe that some people can lead happier lives by transitioning, and all trans people should be supported and treated with respect.

This is a normal post How does this work then?
Developing a pack is one thing but lobbying to be the pack that is used in schools nationally looks very tough. Surely the department will write this in-house?

And the pack was created as *a* resource, not *the* resource.

This is a normal post Same problem
I can't see the Department of Education allowing an independent resource to exist alongside their one. That is just how the civil service works.

This is a normal post Not all teachers groom their pupils you know.
I mean, ok, most of them do, but still, it's probably wrong to encourage it.

This is a normal post Tell the guy who donated with the message
"Time to stop this abomination and save our children from the LGBT leviathan."

That said, LGBT leviathan is a far cooler pejorative than trans lobby.

This is a normal post Oh ffs.
"Mum, dad, I want to be a girl."
"That's fine little Timmy, you can be whatever you want."
Next day:
"Mum, dad, I want to be a robot."
"That's fine little Tammi, as a girl you can be anything you want to be."

Kids play dress-up. Stop pretending that that means they want to actually change sexes, aren't there enough mental-cases around as it is?

And want the schools to use a bit of common sense.

This is a normal post I am all for people having the right to live as whatever gender they like
but like a lot of other things in life which are better done after a certain age, if you want to do something permanent then you will have to wait until you are old enough.

Personally I think the age to have a kid should be increased to higher than any other age bar. I think you should be at least 21 before you have a kid, you should be allowed to cross dress etc at 16. Reassignment surgery at 21, same as having a kid
