"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.

//Seems a bit mean to just shunt them to one side and pretend that their right to self-identity be trampled all over.//
I don't want to trample over anybody's "right to self-identity" - live and let live say I (like most conservatives). At the same time I don't want these people forcing me to share their delusion. Which is what the fascist left is doing in Canada with bill C-16 and, no doubt, will be attempting here shortly.
By the way, anybody been following the Dr. Jordan Peterson affair?

I can't say what it would have been like at primary school, but I do think that you are giving changing attitudes not enough credit.
I do recognise that the child could have a rough time, but as long as the school supports him, and tackles any bullying that does occur promptly, then it might not be so bad as you imagine.
Alternatively, as you can also get bullied for wearing glasses, liking mayonnaise with chips, wearing Postman Pat leggings, and pretty much anything else under the Sun... it's almost impossible to avoid bullying anyway. So you may as well just be yourself.

Stand on me this kid has a lot of misery ahead. End of.
no hysterical ummmm, get your head out of the sand, here's one of many: http://

If you think he won't get bullied, you are fooling only yourselves. My two daughters at school in England were called 'Nazis' because their mother was German ( I only found out about it later) but the son of one of them (my grandson) has also been called a Nazi because his mother is half-German and he has been for many holidays to Germany.
With parents like this little boy has at the school gate, he doesn't have a chance.

I'm not sure that anyone has said that the child won't be bullied; but it's also true that the risk of being bullied shouldn't be an excuse to suppress who he naturally is as a person; and the bullying itself can, hopefully, be dealt with as and when it arises, or combatted by proper advice given to the children before and after.
Or, to put it another way, if you are going to try and reduce bullying then you should try to deal with the bullies, not coddle away the victims.

v_e; :0) We were in a sort of middle to lower middle class area too.
I think I can say with confidence though, that had we brought them up in Germany, the fact that they had and English dad wouldn't have amounted to the proverbial hill of beans. Wonder if it's an English thing, it seems to go on in all schools , public and state.
