Gript-A source of misinformation. **Read OP before posting**

So they'll just have the caricatures of the two families, without the questions about which is the most inclusive and which family you'd rather belong to...?

It doesn't surprise that Grift would position themselves as defenders of child rape. I can see their position getting significant support from their readers as well.

But transgender people have existed before schools started educating children about the existence of transgenderism. So if people, without this education, feel like they are in the wrong body, maybe it's a thing that people feel and needs to be supported?

Trans people exist. Non binary people exist. Whether we educate our youth about this or not will not change that fact. But educating our youth will allow them to be better prepared should they meet a trans person, or if they themselves may be trans themselves. It will not turn a non trans person into a trans person.

Trans-ideology is a non scientific belief system which demands that children & adults alike observe & obey its false teachings.

I do not however believe in its teachings, nor do I believe in its dogma like "transwomen are women". I just don't buy any of it, as it is a non scientific ideology, based on feelings & emotions (but not on biology or reality).

Eddie Izzard says he's a woman and we must address him as such, Dylan Mulvaney must also be addressed as "she", Pips Bunce of Credit Suisse too (some days), not forgetting trans-athlete Valentina Petrillo who we must address as 'she' for fear of misgendering (God forbid), however, I'm not a believer, as I see them for what they really are, men dressed as women.

Kids should certainly not be exposed to this deology which actually claims they may be in someone else's body or non-binary which is also just made-up.

Helen Joyce & Maya Forstater are excellent on this topic.

Are you saying that trans people don't exist?

Ha ha nice try, as that question & my answer had me banned from another thread, with all my posts removed too. Not that my answer was negative to that specific question, but because I didn't fully embrace the teaching of ...

GRIPT tackle some subjects other media outlets won't touch, or won't delve into in any great depth.

How have you come to this conculsion? From what I can see, as soon as parents are made aware of it they are generally disgusted with it. It's only getting coverage in the press now after Gript and a few others brought it into the open.

I have no idea what the trans stuff is your on about, but your saying that because I was unhappy with my teenage children being told that liking GAA or Irish food made them backwards I am in the minority?

Maybe you should check what I was actually responding to? Literally everyone in the thread has said the content of the book was objectionable.... I'm also not sure if I'd go as far as saying that they were saying there's something wrong with liking GAA or Irish food... It was more that it was caricatures of Irish people.

Are you suggesting that children catch the trans when they hear about it in school?

I suppose the main takeaway for anyone with skin in the game i.e. a parent, is to teach your kids to have a healthy sense of skeptisism and a well tuned bullshit radar with regards to all this SPHE stuff. It's also important that their are publictions willing to highlight agenda driven crap like this although I'm sure Kitty Holland and the IT were just about to run the story on the front page.

Relegion is the exact same. I don't see many people saying that kids shouldn't learn about different religion and cultures in school.

Oh i agree, I have kids unlike the majority of posters here I'd wager. Of course kids aren't suggestable, they should never have banned advertising aimed at them, I campainged to have a Benson and Hedges billboard outside our local school. It's a confusing time for them though, they go to biology and are thought one thing then they go to SPHE and have to unlearn all that science again. The problem of course is Gript and all those right wing outlets for telling tales outside school.

In RE classe kids are taught about the different religions of the world and the different beliefs, each person being free to practice their own belief without demanding that everybody else adopts their belief without question.

Problem with the trans teaching is that the kids are taught that a boy can become a girl and that everybody including the teachers must believe that student Jack (he) has decided to become Betty (she), no questions asked, and everybody MUST believe … "Misgendering" being a punishable offence.
