Boys can have periods too, children to be taught in latest victory for transgender campaigners

Helena Horton 16 December 2018 • 2:44pm 3-4 minutes

School children will be taught that "all genders" can have periods in new sex education lessons, in a victory for transgender rights campaigners.

The advice to teachers was approved by Brighton & Hove City Council as they try to tackle stigma around menstruation.

The new advice follows a council report which said: "Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods", adding that "menstruation must be inclusive of all genders".

Bins used for menstruation products will be provided in all toilets for children, according to the report.

It also calls for transgender students and pupils to be provided with additional support from a school nurse if needed.

The report recommends that "language and learning about periods is inclusive of all genders, cultures, faiths and sexual orientations. For example; ‘girls and women and others who have periods'".

Brighton & Hove City Council said in a statement: "By encouraging effective education on menstruation and puberty, we hope to reduce stigma and ensure no child or young person feels shame in asking for period products inside or outside of school if they need them.

"We believe that it’s important for all genders to be able to learn and talk about menstruation together… Our approach recognises the fact that some people who have periods are trans or non-binary."

The same council also recently released a "Trans Inclusion Schools Toolkit" to help teachers treat gender identity sensitively.

Exactly

Not enough to have a fake vagina

It’s the ovaries and uterus

What makes them feel like girls? A pumpkin spiced latte and a trip to the nail salon. At least it worked for my ex wife.

“Boys” in the headline’s context = Biological girls with female anatomy, yet “identifying” as boys, right?

If one views the transgender movement as a social contagion (which I do) - it seems to have started in the UK and other places are catching it now. And of course it is promoted by lots of money.

The below article has a lot of investigative reporting type stuff in it. Soros, the Tides Group and others have donated millions to the transgender movement.

Crazy, crazy to mandate all these lies.
There are going to be some very angry young people in the next 15 years or so. Most will find out on their own how poorly prepared they were for the real world.

I don’t think voting for the Republicans is going to help make things better.

I voted for Trump and even GOP candidates he endorsed, but I don’t think they will do diddly to reverse the social trends like this.

Better get your yellow vests ready, I guess.

I once left off a period at the end of a sentence. Does that make me a Neanderthal or something?

Didn’t Obama once say that you could keep your doctor. PERIOD! Was he only talking about a gynecologist or what?

I’m getting sick and tired of this PC shit. PERIOD!

Politics can’t solve much of anything it sometimes seems to me.

Peter Hitchens in the UK has given up completely and that includes any notion of protest and even debate of some social issues like gay marriage.

Jimmy Carter, the Sunday School teacher former President, told “Playboy” when I was a teenager that he had fornicated with women in his heart.

I don’t think I’m any better than him and I have come to the conclusion it’s better for me to sweep up and clean on my side of things.

I need to repent of my past which is not so much outward physically active sexual misconduct as its what my staring eyes have done or my heart, my thoughts have done and the actions that accompany those thoughts.

Going after the sexuality, insane sexuality one might say, of others isn’t going to get me to a better place.

I must deal with my issues, my heart and then offer my experience to others in this regard to share how destructive my own “liberal” attitudes or actions about sex have harmed me and others.

I guess its an epidemic, a pandemic out there with sex related stuff and the cure starts with me, not with preaching to somebody else they need to get “cured”.

I didn’t think I would live to see the perversion on full throttle being rammed down the people’s throats while the perverts laugh and win more rights for more perversions. I wonder where and when the match will be lit. The powder is primed with the fuse

Brighton and Hove Albion is the seaside equivalent to Sodom. It’s full of high earning gays. A trendy area that used to be a haven for well off hippies.

Keep in mind this is not a US paper.

I wonder how they are going to show little girls that they too are just like little boys down there.

How long have they been hearing that 1+1=3?

That was part of the prep for tyranny.

Especially the very young boys - it tends to bleed a lot right after being diddled by an adult homosexual....

The first ‘dirty’ joke I ever heard (and trust me I was waaaay too young to understand it, at the time) was:

Why was the little red schoolhouse red?

You’d be red too if you have 8 periods a day. (Cymbal crash)

I was the only girl in a family with several boy cousins (all older). I begged them to let me stay on the sleeping porch one summer night when we were visiting. I must have been about 7. I never forgot the ‘joke’, but it was several years before I understood it.
