the fellas in the “Tellyban” know who women are ;" oh but im a transman; dont cover me in an itchy hot shroud ..forever!” -she protested in tears a stark reminder of the world of men ; her reawakening ... The men brandished metal bars and laughed as they beat her black and blue. until the worsted cloth ran red

I'm currently mired in a debate with my daughter's school. They haven't told the parents that they are doing a lesson on gender ideology (I found out via some digging). They say it is for the purposes of teaching tolerance (bullshit), and for myth-busting (also bullshit - they admit they will be telling the girls that they can change sex). I asked for the evidence base supporting what they are teaching. Unsurprisingly, they have none. They said that "all the other schools are doing it." I explained that when "everyone is doing it" is considered an acceptable evidence base, then bad ideas will proliferate unchecked. I'm going back and forth and getting nowhere. They have agreed to inform the parents of the lesson, but not until after the lesson has taken place. I'll withdraw my girl from the class. I told her best friend's parents and they plan to withdraw their daughter too. I am trying to structure a follow up email. Amongst other things I will point out that we will look back on this period of state-sanctioned child abuse in horror; and that those without courage will find themselves on the wrong side of history. But it's like talking to a wall - I have little hope that I will make much of a dent. It's like sanity is a recessive gene which is gradually disappearing from humanity's genome.

Here´s an idea. If you want to promote acceptance, diversity, how about People with Disabilities Story Hour? People with Disabilities coming into libraries reading to children? In the UK many disabled people or those with chronic / terminal conditions have been impoverished by a cruel and unjust ´social security´ (I won´t use the word welfare because we pay for social security to which we´re entitled) system. They also face barriers to employment and could be paid to go unto libraries.

Overbearing tactics by Destiny lol.

Equating those fucking perverts with two haka and a passionate protest against them is wrong. I’ll remind you that the suffragette movement got 9/10ths of fuckall when they said ‘please’. Suffragettes invented the letter bomb, for instance. Went on hunger strike and were jailed, battered and raped while fighting for the vote. We FOUGHT for the vote, it wasn’t GIVEN to us.

You think the cockfrocker man pigs will go quietly?

Stay out of my way.

Read again Rex. The comparison is “between Destiny Church with its overbearing tactics, and people who wilfully expose them to drag performers.” (Not the drag performers themselves.)

Destiny is right to protest, wrong to use force because it takes the focus away from the issue.

The parents who take their children to DQST are wrong, full stop.

Not sure how this qualifies as gender Ed or pride. It is disgusting behavior

I don't trust men with a cross dressing fetish reading to children. Why aren't they clamouring to read at rest homes—why children? There's two possible answers, and I don't like either: children are impressionable and the intention is to indcotrinate them with gender ideology before they have developed a faculty for critical thinking. The other is that the drag "artists" are paedophiles.

I´ll go with the second explanation. A lot of paedo behaviour flies under the radar because its limited to non contact exhibitionism or voyeurism. I´m deeply suspicious also of outside organisations going into schools to run PHSE (sex ed) What normal adult would feel comfortable discussing all that stuff with someone elses kids?

Great analysis. Made me start to wonder why we don't have 'butch lesbian story hour' as well

It may be significant that libraries, those quiet places where people used to go to read, have been targeted for drag performances. Seizing the means of knowledge production.

Brilliant! Even if children are told of the lifelong consequences of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, they are children. They live in the here and now! As a teenager I couldn't wait to have a baby. I didn't think about the lifelong commitment to that child, let alone cracked nipples, sleepless nights, etc, and later lying asleep at night worrying till he came home from being out with his mates. BTW I love your last pic of happy, healthy children!

No, destiny aren’t the same as these fucking perverse sex clowns. Equating them as being as bad as each other is disgustingly wrong. RGE are wrong about that. If only they could overcome their moral high horse distaste of Destiny…..I know who I’d leave my children with.

I will say though that at least Destiny Church is bothering to do something. I suggest people listen to Brian Tamaki and they will hear an interesting perspective. Main stream media are paid puppets.

A lot of people are bothering to do something, quietly and more effectively than polarising everyone.

Quiet is not effective anymore.

Maybe it's time to be a bit less quiet? Childhoods are being ruined.

Perhaps it's time responsible adults stopped being polite when it comes to the increasingly blatant grooming of children in New Zealand.

It’s certainly time that more people spoke up instead of being afraid of the consequences.

Great essay. So clear and well argued. Thank you.

Except the bit where they say those filthy whores are the same as destiny.

Yes that line weakened the argument, I agree.

It is evil. Perversion, immorality, debasement. This is about very mentally and emotionally ill adults who want to play dress up and are completely incapable of empathy, morals, standards, ethics, compassion and principles. What has happened all around us that parents and librarians and school teachers allow this to take place. The emotion of DISGUST should be immediate for anyone with any grasp of compassion for these young ones.

Indeed they are not. It is pedophilia at best. WHO is behind this??
