To comment is to only give credence to this rubbish.Just ignore it!!

The writter of the article is nothing more then a bigoted uneducated fool, possibly even imbred.
The very fact that idiots like these are the exact reason why schools are being enforced to teach about sex, sexuality, gender, race, and even theologies. Just as the mandatory civics classes. Te reason for them to teach and not giving the parent/s time to teach the children is because alot of parents are still stuck by what there parents taught them, and remain in a limbo of seeminly irreversible bigatory themselves, sometimes not even knowing that they are doing it.
I myself was taught the same, my mum first taught me the birds and the bees when i was 3 after i thought she was dieing cause she left the bathroom door open and thought she was bleeding to death. That left me tooo young to learn that and for many years left me kinda confussed what she taught me. She even raised me to be a bigoted homophobic too, that with some things i will not name i am working thoughoughly to reeducate and teach myself...and i live in ontario.
The only agenda' I can see is teaching acceptance to outrid hate in this world one pronince/country at a time. That is not bad, that is like a universal utopian programing that if i could i would sign up to be part of.
I dont know tooo much about puberty blockers, as i started my hrt just monthes ago a week after my 22nd bday. But every medication has its good and bad sides, even our own hormones do. But that is part of the radical' decision that is not a split second run of the mill 'im going to ruin my liver and kidneys etc' its the' gotta survive, and that means a little sacrifice' thats life.
Back when i was in junior highschool, we had mandatory health class, only way out was a parental note out of religios freedom. out of a gym class of 40 only 8 guys attended health class. the two week education seminar was trivial for me and even i didnt pay attention. and the homophobic jokes during the class were unberable, even from the teacher. I was not out yet, deeply closeted, from my elementary school outing by my babysitter blackmailing.
With the overwhelming youngsters coming out earlier and earlier more and more often, even I have to agree it is more prudent then ever to teach the fundaments of all these individualities that are typically seen as a forbidden hidden knowledge to the uneducated bigots. With all the irrational radically outlined notions coming from large numbers of media, social groups, theological practices it is more important now than in 50 years to start providing the neccasary social renormalizing education to show that the only normal thing is that there is no normal and to accept others for who they are rather then what they are.
