Almost a third of sixth-form age youngsters have been taught that a woman can have a penis. That is just one of the concerning findings that Civitas, the Institute for the Study of Civil Society, a British think tank, has revealed in a new report: Show, tell and leave nothing to the imagination: How critical social justice is undermining British schooling. The organisation conducted a survey in England of more than 1,100 youngsters aged 16 to 18 and a poll of a similar number of parents of younger teenagers.
MailOnline has the story.
Teenagers are questioning their biological sex as they are exposed to ‘woke’ sex education material, it was revealed last night.
Almost a third are being taught that a “woman can have a penis”. While one in five had been told that “a man can get pregnant”, the report by think tank Civitas found.
It raises questions about the influence of harmful and graphic sex education material being peddled to youngsters, and puts fresh pressure on the Department for Education to issue guidance for headteachers on transgender pupils before the summer term.
The findings sparked outrage from MPs and parents who said children were being used as a “psychological and social experiment”. Tory MP Miriam Cates, a former teacher and member of the Commons education committee, said: “What is happening in our schools under the guise of sex education is a population level psychological and social experiment on our children. This cannot go on.”
Fellow Tory Jonathan Gullis added: “This is extremely concerning, especially when there are still very harmful and woke materials in our schools that [are] pushing a certain agenda upon children and not allowing them to be children.”
The report polled 1,168 young people aged 16 to 18 in England. More than half (54%) said they knew someone at their school who wants to change gender or had already.
One in ten (10%) said they want to change their gender or had already done so. …
Toby Young, Director of the Free Speech Union, said: “This report reveals the extent to which Britain’s schools have become woke madrasas. It’s a national scandal that the Government needs to address.”

Jeez this crap is frightening as it’s just not going away. In fact it seems to be gaining momentum as it’s everywhere I look! It’s Dr McDonald O’ Clock;
”Before the government lockdowns began three years ago, a fourteen-year-old patient I had been working with for several years came for her regular visit to announce (proudly) that she had “discovered” why she had been suffering from anxiety and depression all this time. Her adolescent group therapist whom I had referred her to (to my chagrin) had convinced her that she was actually a boy in a girl’s body. “I’m trans,” she told me, beaming. She then announced a new name that she wanted me to call her by. She expected me to give her a high five and congratulate her. Instead, I slowly and emphatically told her that she should take a breath and rethink this. “You are clearly suffering, but you are not a boy. You are a girl. And you will likely outgrow this, so I urge you not to do anything rash.” Her smile drained from her face, disappointment clearly showing. I had not “affirmed” her “new identity. She left that day, and I never saw her again.
This was the first time I had come across trans grooming. Now it’s everywhere, and it’s coming not only from misguided and unethical therapists but also teachers, professors, coaches. Abigail Shrier describes this transgender craze that has taken over the internet, social media, and public education in her sympathetic yet jarring book Irreversible Damage. She makes a compelling case that what we are witnessing is a social contagion advanced by a highly organized, vicious, destructive, and hateful group of trans activists who eagerly pursue the opportunity to groom American children to substitute the normal and healthy adolescent struggle to develop an adult identity with an easy out—crossing over to the opposite sex. This is not an error. It is not “misguided.” It is evil. And with it we may be facing the last opportunity we have to save our children.”

But what’s the motivation behind it? Are these trans activists just trying to create more of their own so they feel less of a minority (which they most certainly are)?
Those trans activist groups (NGOs) and MSM who push this are funded by philanthropist organisations. I think that their main goal is population control. Gates in particular is obsessed with it. Not many of those kids who have been mutilated or had years of strong hormone therapy are ever going to have children of their own. Trans, abortion on demand, the vaxxx, fear of climate catastrophe. All doing the same thing. Stop the plebs breading.
I think Some very rich people’s hobby horse is suffficient here.
Possibly. I can’t my head around it. What “wealth” I have I tend to spend on indulging myself. I like to think if I had lots more wealth I would just indulge myself more (and I don’t necessarily mean buying supercars and stuff, but I might buy a business and run it how I think a business should be run), but I don’t think I would be interested in nudging people into living their lives differently.
Same here, but Bill Gates was brought up differently. His dad ran Planned Parenthood, the biggest provider of abortions in the US, and an organisation born form the American Eugenics Society.
I didn’t know his dad ran Planned Parenthood; thanks.
I guess some good can come of hobby-horses – Musk buying Twitter, arguably Trump running for POTUS, Luke Johnson is on the board of DS AND the FSU and probably bungs them money.
It’s Talmudic…

You’ll find that alot (well everything in fact) that is occurring today is Talmudic…. I need to leave it there
How’s things mogs?u OK? Intelligence has its downsides, don’t linger too much on thought ! Night night
And Labour wants to give these deliberately mind-f***ed children the vote at 16 years old…
I often regret not having married and had children (I put my career as my priority and intended to do that ‘later’ until it was too late, meaning my entire family line dies with me!) but I would be terrified of sending my children to a British school right now.
I have two intelligent and successful adult sons in their 30s. Neither are married; neither are in a stable, long-term relationship. I hope they have happy lives but I’m comfortable with the idea they will probably not become parents.
Who on earth would want to bring a child into this world to be indoctrinated by the State and the likes of these evil trans-activists who would destroy their mental health at an age when they wouldn’t be able to resist.
Look at this beautiful, happy and healthy baby who is being brought up genderless. Now listen to what this extremely deluded parent is saying. Amongst other things, ”…I am undeniably supportive of a minor’s rights to have hormones and transition.” Is it any wonder we’re seeing this extent of confusion among the young and the huge increase in gender clinics everywhere? As Charlie Kirk recently said, ”An 18 year old who thinks they’re the opposite sex has a mental illness. An 8 year old who thinks they’re the opposite sex has a mother who has a mental illness.” This is absolutely terrible for a child’s development but it is being normalized and promoted left, right and centre.

Transhausens by proxy … or “trans away the gay”
I don’t talk to a lot of 16-18 year olds but I have a suspicion that nothing like 10% really want to “change gender”. For most of them it will just be a passing fad. Sadly though there will be some who are permanently damaged by this evil.
Let them suffer…. it really isn’t my problem.
Arguably anything that leads to the decline and fall of our civilisation is your problem, or will become your problem. Hard to isolate oneself completely from what is going on around you.
The sooner that that asteroid turn up the better – Homo Sapiens is finished.
There’s fight in the old dog yet
Unless you have children, that is. Or nephews, nieces or grandchildren.
I did read an article in Granta a few years back about the American “trans” movement which explained that in the US anything you don’t like is fixable by surgery so why not? In the UK I would imagine that access to surgery is more difficult.
Back in the day teenagers became punks for instance (or mods), anything to differentiate themselves from the crowd and quite often they were the unpopular/less popular classmates who tended to reinvent themselves by adopting the latest trend. Also good to shock the older generation.
Finally back in the day most of us hated school and couldn’t wait to get out/away from it. We also had the measure of our teachers and despised many of them. Has that attitude really changed?
You make an interesting point. Accepting what we are is healthy and fundamental to well being, IMO, but there are things that can be changed easily e.g. you are unfit or overweight, where changing them is low risk, cheapish, can be fun, and the results are good. But once you’ve done those steps, accept your limitations. I guess same applies to wearing makeup or clothes that flatter you. Balance. Next step is plastic surgery, or in the psychological space, drugs and alcohol. Surgery is bigger risk, results often less than good IMO. Drugs etc maybe lower risk but still need to be handled prudently. Trying to change something as fundamental as sex is massive risk and futile as you simply will not succeed.
Past caring – let their mental heath continue to spiral downwards…. on the bright side, we know where that often ends…..
I think you need to get off of that laptop Maestro and get out more..
One things for sure.. you can ignore reality, but you won’t be able to ignore the consequences of it, and if the gender benders don’t get you.. the food/power shortages, banking/society collapse, great replacement.. among other things lined up will.. you can depend on it!
For a man to get pregnant he would need to have a womb, produce ovaries and contain all the other relevant female reproductive apparatus. Oh, wait a minute… there’s a word for someone who can do that!
Long Chu ( yes that is ‘his’ name ) won a Politzer prize recently for Criticism ( apt ), demonstrating perfectly what sort of society we have become. You can see the sort of misogynistic, hateful bilge that somebody gets awarded for sharing nowadays in Clown World.
”Chu clearly has a very distorted idea of what being a woman is, conflating the idea with being passive and victimised in language so extreme that it’s distasteful to quote. The writer describes being a “sad, pretentious boy, furious about rape, hopelessly addicted to pornography”, which he would look at for hours in the bathroom while his girlfriend was asleep. Apologies to sensitive readers, but what Chu learned from this experience is that “getting fucked makes you female because fucked is what a female is”.
At one level, the awarding of a Pulitzer to a minor academic with a back catalogue of cringe-inducing utterances about women is just another example of an institution destroying its own reputation. But it also demonstrates the way in which gender ideology is destroying critical faculties, allowing misogyny into the mainstream in a prettified new costume.”
https://unherd.com/thepost/andrea-long-chus-pulitzer-win-is-an-insult-to-women/
A pretty cringeworthy example. But in her rightous zeal, the authoress (no idea if this word exists or makes sense, but it’s needed here) overlooked something important: The XYZ pron (I refuse to quote the name) mentioned here is a particular kind of gay pron bordering on the pedophile and it’s about sexually victimizing boys (or men which are small enough that someone believes they might as well serve instead of boys — at the enormous height of 1.69m, I’m falling into this category which is why I have endless amounts of ‘fun’ with men who really don’t think No or Fuck off! would be answers and that that’s perfectly ok if the other person is also male).
That’s about 5ft 6-7ins, which isn’t exactly dwarfism territory. I think footballer Messi is about that height, as are plenty of men from certain countries in particular, e.g many South/Latin/Central American countries, India, Philippines etc. The Dutch are meant to be tall as a nation but I’m 5ft 5ins approx and don’t feel like a midget.
What I’m leading up to is that a person’s stature isn’t what singles them out as a ‘would-be victim’ nor should it make one an easier target for getting hassled in any way. If you’re regularly getting unwanted attention and trouble then I strongly suspect it’s the places you hang out and the kind of people that frequent these places that’s the problem. Regular, decent folk ( men, in your above example ) would not behave in this way, irrespective of a person’s height. If it’s not your aftershave attracting arseholes then it’s definitely the clientele of particular venues.
Shall we call that womensplaining, ie, have you ever been a man with decidedly below average size? I think not.
In the given context that’s – however – besides the point. The authoress of this article goes to some lengths in putting the usual Porn is so misogynistic! statements on display, yet, the example she’s referring to is a particular kind of gay porn about violent (and semi-consensual) between men and physically much weaker other men (ideally, boys, but that would be illegal). This doesn’t quite hang together.
Woah..touchy, much? I’d call it putting things in perspective but there you go. Given how you regularly appear to refer to your size in your posts and how much hassle you experience when you’re out then you can hardly be surprised if people occasionally include reference to this in their responses to you. Anyway, message received loud and clear. I shan’t do it again.
I’m no expert on the different factors, but in my experience if you are big (tall, wide, strong looking) you will get hassled less, except in the case where really crazy men want to fight you/try to bully you as a challenge. Looking mad enough helps too.
What is Driving All This?
Years ago David Bowie was deemed the father of androgyny and was thought to have changed male fashion forever. But it did not seem to last for long and in recent times male fashion and appearance has been bound by rather strict social stereotypes. Certainly for males looking to ‘trans’ to females, I cannot help but wonder how many are just latter-day David Bowie’s looking to break out of current boring stereotypes?
Except that now someone has opened a Pandora’s box of ‘trans’ and people are being lead into thinking that changing appearance changes everything. Young people are very conscious and concerned about appearance and fashion and so not surprisingly many are captivated by this. It seems to me to be a form of abuse and mendacious deception to lead these youngsters into thinking that changing appearance changes everything. It seems to me that something insidious and evil is driving this, something that wants to destroy sense and sensibility in our society. Something that wants people to believe in the nonsense that changing your appearance changes your sex. He might have been the father of androgyny but David Bowie did go on to have 2 children, if these trans folk go down the drugs and surgery route that is something they will never be able to do.
Something insidious and evil is driving this.. but if you mention its name you can get yourself in a lot of trouble. Its those you’re not allowed to criticise..
I changed gender twice this morning, and then three times this afternoon. I must say it’s quite exhausting.
Are you a shape-shifter, like off Star Trek, or just an indecisive cross-dresser?
I’m currently a black lesbian, but that may change if the sun comes out.
Trans activism is true evil

“Gender Identity Ideology Taught in British Classrooms: 10% of 16-18 Year-Olds Want to Change Gender”
And then I grew up and started to realise who iam and what I’m worth and where my place is!… Time immoral guys,….you’re nothing special, ..Snowflakes, get your head out your arses and experience life!
Learn and grow! Stop pining! God help the future world!, I’m glad I won’t live to see it, the future has nothing to temp me!
Its a fad and a fashion. It has been injected at a point where kids are still finding out who they are. But it exists because of passive acceptance. I can’t help but think that somewhere behind this are affluent middle class white women saying ‘What harm will it do.?’, or imagining that they have something to chat about at the tennis club social, or the aisles of Waitrose. Their ‘special child’…
Gosh, if only the Government had a 70 (or thereabouts) seat majority.
If they did, they could put an immediate stop to the indoctrination and trans-promoting psychological attack on children.
I think you might be labouring under the assumption that we have two major parties opposed to each others policies, and a number of smaller ones. We don’t. We have two flavours of one party, and the establishment is so ‘progessive’ than anything remotely conservative has no way of being done.
Can any Tory MP justifiably be outraged at the sexual experimentation of the nations children? They have been in power for the last 12 years. They could have stopped this sick experiment dead in its tracks if they wanted to do so.
It is estimated that gender medical interventions will be worth over $100bn in the US. Especially if it can be foisted onto medical insurance policies. Needless to say, the medical fraternity is licking its lips and salivating with enthusiasm. Of course it very effectively destroys families, lives, our culture,morals and ethics and the fundamental health of humanity. Perfect for creating a weak, confused vulnerable society ready for global control and manipulation.
De Santis has banned this nonsense for children in Florida.
