"you can also get bullied for wearing glasses, liking mayonnaise with chips, wearing Postman Pat leggings, and pretty much anything else under the Sun.." - yes but none of that is as Juicy as Lesbian mum and a transgender mum/dad! like I said in the other thread, poor little sod.

TTT //this lad has got 20 years of bullying to look forward to. Hope he's a hard case.//

Reminds me of the Johnny Cash number, 'A Boy called Sue', but that was only a song, this little guy is going to have to live it, and for what?
So, I've just pinged a doctor in surgery and asked her. She said she wouldnt really have a clue as not exposed to a wide enough range of people to make a call.

I also pinged one I know in CAMHS. They are of the opinion bullying can and does start very early and definitely whilst at primary school.
Errr...about the age of 7 is primary school!
The way some people speak on here and elsewhere, you could be forgiven for thinking we are living in an inundation of homosexuality and transgender.
The Office for National Statistics put the number of homosexuals in the UK at 1.7%, there is no figure for transgenders, but for the US the figure is 0.3% of the population.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/culturalidentity/sexuality/bulletins/sexualidentityuk/2015
When you consider what rubbish being dolled out to schoolchildren and all the fuss about toilets and other related issues, it beggars belief.
Since 0.3% (in the US) would amount to around a million people, that's still quite a few. Seems a bit mean to just shunt them to one side and pretend that their right to self-identity be trampled all over.
"Right to self identity"

No problem with that, I am now a Jack Russell terrier, woof woof.
These people very clearly like a platform to show the world how achingly right-on they are, hence the publicity, and have paid scant regard for the child who is little more than a pawn in their attention seeking.

Even if explained to them, children will not be able to grasp the concepts of ridiculous phrases such as gender neutral or gender fluid – what they will understand though is that the child is different and that is where problems will arise. It is naïve to think this child will not experience problems at the hands of other children.

I’ve just Googled Gender Fluid and have come across the following definition:

“Gender fluid is a gender identity which refers to a gender which varies over time. A gender fluid person may at any time identify as male, female, neutrois [what the hell is that???], or any other non-binary identity, or some combination of identities. Their gender can also vary at random or vary in response to different circumstances.”

As gender fluidity appears to be completely arbitrary, presumably, therefore, this evening between 8pm and 9pm will I be able to self-identify as a woman because of my gender fluidity so that I can use the ladies changing rooms at the swimming baths? And if not, why not? If the other users object, will they be showing their ignorance of my non-binary identity and in doing so will this be discrimination?

I have no patience for nonsense like gender fluidity, and it gets filed away in a part of my brain labelled ‘Complete Arsewater’ where it sits nicely along other patent nonsense such as homeopathy and god to name just two.
Feeble attempt at parody aside, if you did want to identify as a fox terrier then, well, the point is that this is your choice. Although how people perceive that is, I suppose, up to them.

Jim

"Although how people perceive that is, I suppose, up to them. "

Absolutely correct Jim and perception tends to override reality in the life that we live. "Don't judge a book" and all that garbage.
As a matter of interest, I bet that you didn't go to your interview at Cambridge in a blouse and skirt.
As a matter of interest, I bet that's none of your business really, is it?
LOL..........no it isn't but it has answered my query.
I would have loved you to say yes you did, Jim :-)
ummmm....so would I.
But, the overriding feature was that he wanted entrance to the University of choice.
If it were me, I would do anything or say anything to get what or where i wanted in life.
You're watching " this morning "?.
"But, the overriding feature was that he wanted entrance to the University of choice."

If we're doing this, then it's worth pointing out that, at the time, I was busy either ignoring or, on occasion, actively suppressing this side of myself. How it would or wouldn't have affected the interview performance didn't come into it. (The first interview went terribly anyway.)

Since some transgender people do apply to university without making a secret of the fact, then I'm not sure that you have a point even besides that.
"Since some transgender people do apply to university without making a secret of the fact, then I'm not sure that you have a point even besides that."

I don't know....but you may well be right.
My point, if it ever existed, was that the perception given by a person often but not always, predetermines their future.
I have been on many interviewing committees, but never seen a transexual (overt) interviewee. I agree that that statement is not statistically significant.
The problem is the right on brigade are correct, we should not concern ourselves with what bigots may think or do generally. Sadly though it will be the kid that is punished on the alter of this PC cobblers. Children are brutal, cruel, bigoted, driven by pack mentality. However "ok" we deem their position to be it will be ignored by his torturers and be cold comfort to this little unsuspecting child. That is why I say they are attention seeking selfish weirdos.
"The problem is the right on brigade are correct..."

I just spat out my muesli.
We as parents have to strive to make sure our child has the wisdom not to attach themselves to the 'pack' who use your terminology to describe anything or anyone they don't understand.

It's not blind acceptance but tolerance and then you can learn more if your child wishes to have more information.
Children can be cruel....but not all of them!

Why are you assuming this little boy won't be able to stand up for himself?
