I have a problem with school districts teaching kindergartners that if they're sad they can cross dress and be happy :)
Good thing that's not what they teach in kindergarten. Do you even have kids?

Well, they are...so...
You keep posting that link as if it means something. I've already responded. Half a dozen other people have already responded. Tolerance and acceptance are not bad things to be teaching kids, no matter how icky you think it is.
Seriously. Do you have kids?
Because y'all all have the same comments that it's not happening, and I keep proving y'all wrong. No it's funny that you've seen the link posted, yet you still say it isn't happening. I don't care to continue a conversation with someone willingly ignorant.
We've always taught those, why do we need special sexuality and gender ideology tolerance and acceptance? Why aren't you pushing for nepalisian acceptance, you're a bigot, aren't you?
More than you could imagine
What are you proving wrong? That you don't support tolerance? No one is disputing that
So you have a problem with a boy wearing a skirt? What's the issue with that? I assume you think girls shouldn't wear pants then?
No, I have problems with teachers taking kids away from parents at the threat of having CPS called on them, and telling 5year old boys if they wear skirts they'll be happy.
Which teachers have taken kids away? And what's the context for a teacher telling someone they'll be happy if they wear skirts?
The government takes kids away from parents if we don't send them to their re-education institutions
Seattles public school programs to educate 5 year olds on gender identity https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/health-education/lgbtq-programs-curriculum-and-support/list-of-books-by-grade/
Lol. This would be good trolling if it wasn't so stupid.
And continuing to post that link isn't going to make it somehow fit into your delusions.
...What? You're upset that a teacher might tell a child they can wear a skirt if it makes them happy? Or you're upset that CPS might get involved if you abuse your child? I'm confused, it really just sounds like you want the right to abuse your child if they dress in a skirt, and you don't want teachers telling your kid it's fine to do so.
Yes, I don't want teachers having secret meetings with my kids, without my knowledge, telling them to wear skirts. It's weird, inappropriate and absurdly outside of the teachers realm of usefulness to taxpayers.
You sound a little paranoid, my dude. Being unscrupulous with how things are being framed to you when it involves something you find weird is what makes people assume you are a bigot, not that you have "different views". A teacher that tells a student "it's ok to dress how you feel most comfortable" is different from a teacher that tells a student "you ought to dress in girls clothing". And if a student then says "my mom and dad will punish me if I don't wear boys clothes", not only should they, but a teacher is required by law to report that interaction to CPS.
We wouldn't need to teach students about gender if parents weren't actively shaming or punishing their kids in order to force them to perform their sex in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable. That you think of male genitalia when you see a kid dressed in boys clothes is not a problem with the teacher sexualizing them, it's a problem with you sexualizing them.
