Speculation is where someone gets something for nothing at the expense of someone else who gets nothing for something.

# "It's Ridiculous" - Parents Furious As Australia Seeks To Ban Use Of "Boy" Or "Girl" In Books

> "For goodness sake, this is social engineering gone crazy...

> Leave kids alone to be kids. Stop trying to destroy kids’ childhoods..."

That is an example of the furious reaction from parents in Victoria, Australia where the local city council has announced plans to audit children’s books and toys with a plan to ban them from kindergartens, schools and libraries if they don’t meet strict gender guidelines.

The Herald Sun reports that the local government's justice warriors were inspired by research from the Australian National University that showed children were influenced by gender stereotyping, and urged a ban on the terms 'boy' and 'girl'.

The research suggests educators should “minimise the extent to which gender is labelled” and avoid telling children what girls and boys should do.

Parents reacted angrily to the story on social media...

> “This needs to stop. I’ve got a two-year-old daughter (yes I picked her gender based on what genitals she was born with) and she plays with cars, trains, tractors, Barbies, dolls and uses her imagination and pretends she’s cooking food or being a doctor...

> Let’s just let kids be kids.”

Billie Deborah Chin wrote:

> “Banning the availability of anything, or taking choice away, is definitely the wrong way to go about making classrooms gender neutral. It should be about making everything available to everyone.”

We leave it to Ron Wilson from Smooth FM, who told Sunrise “it’s about inclusion, not exclusion” but that it’s important “boys are boys and girls are girls”.

> “I wouldn’t be banning things, but I would be including more things for everybody to be involved in. When you’ve got kids, you suddenly realise that boys are boys and girls are girls and viva la difference. I don’t want to see androgyny out there.

> “I don’t want to see our children just being children. The fact (is) they are boys and girls and they are different and there’s no question about that. We should celebrate that...

> I think we need respect. We don’t need social engineering.”

Following the uproar generated by the report, Melbourne City Council very quickly responded...

> "Our libraries aim to promote diversity, not censor books," adding that "none of the books mentioned in media reports have been banned. The books mentioned are in stock at City Library."

So Winnie The Pooh and Thomas The Tank Engine are safe...for now.

Don't any of you homophobes know any gay children who were just born gay - no one forced them to be gay or influenced them to be gay?

I've heard that ~10% of the population has always been gay. There are various theories as to why someone might be born gay (e.g., conditions in the womb for 9 months). These people need protection from some people who think being gay is a problem. Some of these children get bullied to the point of suicide. Some of them are beaten to death simply for being gay.

I agree that we don't want to create an environment where we're confusing the 90% of kids who are straight, but if you listen to what that women actually said about changing diapers, it isn't crazy. She's trying to teach kids that a caring adult won't force them to do something inappropriate - like child molesters do.

The big difference, you see, is that most people who are born with certain disabilities or flaws, spend money on fixing them. Crooked teeth, hair loss, weird blemishes, propensity to gain weight, the odd deformity etc people strive to see the specialists, get fixed up as best as they can, take the right vitamins and minerals to live long healthy lives, even plastic surgery in some cases is performed to be as normal as possible. Except the queers.

You can take someone who is 90% man and turn him into a woman, and you are telling me that you can't take someone who is 90% man and turn him into a 100% man?

Stop trying to justify this shit.

Children bully anybody different, no matter what. We are by nature a violent species that fears being ostracized. Kids don't bully other kids because they're homosexuals, but because they're different. Trying to present it as a situation of kids bullying little homosexual kids because they're homosexual is nothing but stereotypical homosexual self-absorption, trying to force everything to be about homosexuality. If there were no little homosexual kids they would bully the redheads, or the smallest, or the smartest....

If you want to see serious cruel bullying, look at how leftist homos treat Log Cabin Republicans.

let's say they are successful and make 100% of kids transgender

Congratu-fucking-lations, you now have an entire generations of kids with a 42% Suicidal Ideation rate

thats Cultural Marxism in a nutshell. In order to mitigate the suicidal tendencies of the 0.03% of people currently transgender, they want to make everyone transgender and share their fucking misery

No, this is a another step towards their ultimate goal which is unrestricted pedophilia. Once they force through the idea that children have the right and capability to choose their gender, then they'll say children have the right and capability to choose to have sex with an adult. It is the same game plan they followed for homosexuality. They have already managed to get pedophilia removed from the list of mental disorders. There is no limit to the depth of their evil.

The problems really start to kick in at puberty.

Of the human species males are dangerous, females, not so much.

So if you bring up males without the social conditioning required to control their emotions and impulses you have created yourself a bigger problem than you might otherwise have had.

In fact if you back through history, societies which dissolved social controls had a tendency to vanish.

Says the bitch in yoga pants tweeting about #metoo.

Women are far easier to manipulate, especially by emotional manipulation. That is why they are the majority of MKultra victims.

It used to be that to get to the men, you got to the women. To get to the women you got to the kids. Now the women are physically and emotionally barren, and many of the ones promoted to power are muff munching dikes.

So how do you get to women when they have no families and only designer babies? You turn the men into soyboys by chemicals and microwaves.

css1971, your comment is likely well intentioned but completely misguided nonetheless. If you look at "teenage" male and female elephants in Africa they are very much the same as your analogy to humans. The females graze around with the rest of the herd, males in the absence of older bull elephants (often due to poaching or human intervention) will become isolated and increasingly dangerous over time. They destroy the environment and become extremely violent and aggressive. The solution is not to attempt to castrate all the male elephants at birth.......if you want a true solution you need to restore the family structure which has kept things in check for millennia. This goes for all animals human or otherwise. Hopefully the Aussies will figure this out before they destroy their society too.

But they have done a good job obliterating Christian culture with Hollywood.

Yes and no. It is still a matter of the signs of the times, but I get your argument as well. Please do remember that Ben-Hur was directed by a Jew, William Wyler - produced by a Jew, Sam Zimbalist - and released by... (wait for it) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Yes, MGM is a mountain of crap today, just as Roy Disney turned Walt's empire over to a succession of Jewish CEOs leading to this:

http://www.wnd.com/2018/05/disney-selling-gay-themed-mickey-mouse-ears/

But I still believe that it is not a Jewish conspiracy so much as current events influencing Jews in positions of power to capitulate because they are Jews in name only and do not believe in judgement.

The people behind this are literally Marxists.

She describes how the program was set up under the guise of anti bullying, but in reality was there to push a Marxist agenda.
