re: Pupils in England to be told 'boys can have periods too' under new sex education guideline

We need another World War so badly.

What does the concept of gender identity have to do with periods anyway? Periods are an objective biological process that can be taught and understood very simply, regardless of anyone’s personal beliefs about gender—people who have ovaries and a uterus will be capable of having periods and people who don’t have them will not. Full stop.

Your feelings toward standard male/female social norms and the persona you create based on those feelings is a separate, subjective, and (in this context) completely irrelevant issue. If you’re ham-handedly integrating that concept into a lesson on periods meant for 8-year-olds, you’re either deliberately creating a false equivalency or you’re woefully ignorant of the average 8-year-old’s capacity for abstract reasoning. Neither speaks too highly of your competence as a professional educator.

Are you guys under the impression this is the entirety of Britain? All of England?

It states that periods are not "dirty, disgusting, or something to be embarrassed by" and that periods can be "something to celebrate".

As he often does, Ron White had a good take about this...

"If the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn't go 'Oh look, I'm spotting!' frick that; I'd be running down the street like my hair was on fire, screaming 'MY BALLS ARE BLEEDING, MY BALLS ARE BLEEDING!!'"

Bc the prog filth wants it both ways. They want gender to simply be a social Co strict that anyone can choose, yet when it’s convenient they also want gender to be equivalent to sex, which is how you end up with boys competing in girls athletics and using female restrooms.

When I was young I celebrated every time my GF had a period. It was a relief

So...does this mean we can get fat, take maternity leave, and when we come back and people ask about it we just Look at the floor and start to cry?



I take it back. This is gonna be awesome.

It started with gay marriage. “We just want gays to be able to marry, don’t be a bigot”. Then it immediately moves to “we just want trannys to be able to pee in whichever bathroom, you don’t want men pulling out their dicks around your daughter? Don't be a bigot”. Now it’s “Children should be able to decide what gender they are and be able to take hormones at a young age and if you don’t agree maybe you shouldn’t have custody of your child”. So what’s the next perversion that’s going to get pushed.

i mean i've seen some male posters here acting like they're on their period....
