You Cannot Be Serious.....
Age for sex education to be 9! You mean up to now they've been sexualising younger children? It's right that they should not tell kids they can change sex, ever because they can't but 9 for general sex education? Far to low. What is it about these trobiscites that they can't wait to sexualise our children? Gawd we had 2 one hour sessions in biology when we were 13/14!

Kids aged near the end of primary school should be taught about reproduction. In my day, waiting until secondary school years was too late. I'd already looked up such details and learnt nothing from the sex class in addition.
By secondary school age it would have been more appropriate to be given information on what pleases the other sex/gender, as partners reluctant to express what they really want means information on that is added slowly over many years.
However this "gender studies" nonsense needs to be hit squarely on the head. There are clearly two genders (rare intersex individuals being a mix of both) and the pretence that one's erroneous belief that one is that which one clearly isn't, is not a valid reason for trying & failing to make such fantasy a reality. Teaching that it is, needs to be banned. At most one might teach that some folk exist who are deluded in that way, and who need pity & understanding; not to mention guidance regarding not trying to imposing their error on others and expecting it to be catered for.
I agree it sounds very young to teach sex education but thr fact remains girls from 10 yrs old can start their periods.. at some date they need to be taught that from then it's possible to become pregnant and what that means.. so, some sort of education leaning that way does need to be taught..
Boys need to understand the same topic.
the wango tango
PP puts on shocked moddy voice - wango tango, dougie is winging it. You know there are strict rules enforced with an iron hand against iffy phrases with a lavatorial ( what's lavatorial, miss?) overtones. The whole things stinks. The mods decision is final - and incomprehensible and yes they dont know any foreign languages but dont try that one.
For example: in this thread about teenage pregnancy any reference about there babies come from ( cabbage patch deffo) will be ruthlessly expunged. Observing that boys should keep their wongos zipped is doomed ! ( girls will find a way even with a zipped wongo).
you have been warned ! - kissy kissy all of you in a chaste, platonic fashion
It's also said to be due better nutrition leading to increased BMI:
"Diet is by far the most important factor – medics and psychotherapists both point to better nutrition being the definitive change in children over the past century. Phillip Hodson, fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, says: "The best way not to go into puberty is starvation. Early puberty is about great nutrition, in the classic sense of getting access to good protein, good vitamins and minerals." He underlines that earlier puberty is often accompanied by a commensurate growth in height ...."

It is a fact that malnutrition can delay puberty.
