    What has happened to the World ?

    UK primary school introduces new ‘non-gendered’ sex education

    Students at a UK primary school will now be told that boys can have periods too under new sex education guidance.
    The advice to teachers was approved by Brighton Council in a bid to tackle stigma surrounding menstruation, The Sun reports.
    The report states: “Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods”, adding “menstruation must be inclusive of ‘all genders’.”
    It also orders that “bins for used period products are provided in all toilets” for children and that trans pupils and students should be provided with additional support from a school nurse if needed.

    I simply can't take this at face value. I can not believe it.

    Had to check and make sure this story wasn't dated April 1.

    Seems the Brighton Council ain't very "bright". Training tomorrows leaders.

    Yeah I reckon this is one of those things where possibly some well-intentioned but misguided person has said something ill-conceived and the media has taken it and blown it out of all proportion...

    Or it's true but then I don't really give a fuck anyway because in a couple of days my world is going to consist of beers and beaches.

    It’s a non story from the Sun. One of Murdoch’s UK rags. Pun intended.

    I am curious why this kind of equality should be introduced at Primary education levels? Are girls starting to menstruate ever earlier these days.

    As a white male my knowledge of menstruation is rudimentary, but I’m sure that installing vending machines for rocket launchers in primary school toilets is a bit far fetched. I had to learn about periods the hard way. Denying young men that pleasure is surely a step too far.

    I'm certain the Jedi Knight Council of Mystic Masters (The Sages) made the exact same statement,...100 years ago,...

    So,...what else is new news, regarding the current levels of Wisdom,...imparted from within the Circle of today's (so-called) "educated" Elders?...

    One would hope that it's either a fake story, an April Fool's joke or a bit of a misunderstanding or poor journalism. However, I have downloaded the minutes of the Brighton and Hove City Council meeting of 3rd December 2018 and it states:


    Key messages from learning about periods
    "Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods." (Ref: page 10 of 12)

    It also states that lessons should be "factually accurate". (Ref: page 9 of 12)


    I do not know how they can reconcile the two points above.


    Reference:
    Neighbourhoods, inclusion, communities & equalities committee addendum
    Brighton & Hove City Council meeting of 3rd December 2018
    Link available via the OP article.

    Forum rules state quite categorically, the only acceptable languages for posting on here are English and Thai.
    Scribble is not an accepted language anywhere. Drunk speak is sometimes tolerated, but your personal babble is not.

    I have reported your post

    Living with someone who has PMS is a very chastening experience, akin to man flu.
    You have been warned. Be careful what you wish for.

    trans is a huge industry now, and just like any industry they need to keep pushing the boundaries so the money keeps flowing in.

    Sure they will and in all directions, but what happens when it's scientifically proven that those born male cannot have babies even if it their inalienable right to be equal with women?

    Brighton. Nuff said. They employ two diversity officers in the locsl health department but not enough doctors or nurses.
