The bearded guy in a dress is conspicuous; Caroline Cossey is not.
The bearded fella in a dress stands out. Him leadin' the class is nuthin' but distraction.
The pleasant lookin' woman draws the eye but doesn't flummox the head. Him leadin' the class might lead to actual learning.

Re: Is There Such a Thing as Too Different?
You've got the "default" wrong there, Gary. We don't expose children to everything unless we can show it will seriously harm them in some way. Rather, the default is to protect, and only in cases where they clearly ARE ready for that step do we expose them.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 9:32 pm What evidence is there that children are "unequipped to process adequately" something like that?
But now, pick your age. Let's say that a four-year-old is a pretty clear case of someone not able to process adult sexuality. Would you say that's fair? I would say so.
Well, if you say that at some age they should be exposed to transgenderism, at what age would you think was developmentally appropriate for them?

Re: Is There Such a Thing as Too Different?
Well, there is love, where you protect a child and then there's smother love where you overprotect a child. Such children who have been overprotected sometimes turn out with developmental issues or unable to appropriately handle new situations that come up. But maybe puberty would be an OK age for children to be exposed to transsexual teachers. I'm not sure what grade the particular person teaches in, I just saw mention of it by someone who posted on a neighborhood forum that they thought it was a terrible thing. But would you say that by puberty or maybe high school it would be ok for a transsexual to teach?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 11:39 pmYou've got the "default" wrong there, Gary.

Re: Is There Such a Thing as Too Different?
Maybe it's only a distraction at first but once children become accustomed to a new environment they seem to be OK. The teacher would simply have to maintain order in the class and discipline people who make distracting comments or something.henry quirk wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 11:53 pmthis, Gary...Gary Childress wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 10:07 pmSo are you saying that it's fine, then, so long as transsexuals look and act the role they are assuming?

Re: Is There Such a Thing as Too Different?
No. But that whole thing about shielding children from progressivist propaganda is typically deployed against the gays. That good old libertarian mister Putin for instance enacted a law "for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating for a Denial of Traditional Family Values". Thatcher did something like that in the 80s as well.henry quirk wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 11:55 pmSo, you think gayness and transgenderism are equivalent?FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 11:52 pmDo we also need to protect them from the confusion of seeing families where there are two daddies?Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 11:39 pm

Apparently there is a whole thing called No Promo Homo Laws. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_promo_homo_laws
And I did see mist Can recently posit that progressive sorts use some rights gain for some bad lifestyle choice to soften society up for the next outrage. So all things considered, his recent vendetta against the trannies (probably the easiest target in this context) looks an awful lot like some table reversing plan.

Okay, let's say...12 then, on average. No transgender teachers in elementary schools. We're agreed on that much.But maybe puberty would be an OK age for children to be exposed to transsexual teachers.
What makes you think that a 12 year old is ripe for dealing with adult sexual deviant behaviours?

Why do we have a phrase like "comparing apples and oranges"?
I mean those things are both fruits right, but apparently that doesn't make them things you can compare to each other.
They lack equivalence.
