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.

There’s a fairy tale about this. It’s called “The Emperor has No Clothes”. In this case, it’s “The School Board is too stupid to understand reality”. The kids will know the truth.

Yep. What branch of science says that gender is subjective, depending on your point of view?

“...the stigma around menstruation.”

Huh? A natural bodily function critical to procreation that has been happening for a few million years has a “stigma”?

What planet do these people live on?

Explain to me, the “allure” of “having a period”. Why would any male - especially a little boy - want to fool with it?

It’s the main thing I’ve always sympathized with women about, having to endure that process every month. Why would a male want to join in that fray?

As a survivor of an almost year-long, internal intestinal bleed...requiring over 38 blood transfusions during the time, I can attest that bleeding from the “hinter land” is no joy, whatsoever. They finally located the arterial bleed, and cauterized it, and I’m OK now.

But just the aggravation of it all - never mind the pain - was awful.

More teachers than ever are quitting g the “profession”after only a few years. Teachers that get fed up now quit mid-year, something that rarely happened before. It is a hopeless profession now.

Ooooh. No I understand.

NO, I don’t. I’m even more confused now than I was.

What I do understand is that the council is insane and so is much of the world we now live in.

In a world now flooded with all sorts of female hormones in our water supply and little boys taking longer to become sort of little men... does the board or council purport to tell us that there is now a wave of little girls who think they are little boys who are very slowily becoming to joing other little boys who are sort of becoming little men?

Back in the day you were either chromosome challenged and to be pitied or just off your nut and to be corrected.

Confusing isn’t it?
