I’m not a psychoanalyst, so I won’t try to second guess your motive for repeatedly posting stuff like this. But I would like to note that your opinions are far removed from the opinions of anyone else that I know. Well, then... maybe you need to widen your circle a bit. If you're unaware of how divisive the trans agenda is then that's on you, not me. People are losing work and suffering disciplinaries for questioning the trans agenda. Children are being guided down a dangerous route for the sake of inclusivity, gender politics and 'being themselves'... whatever that means to an 11yo. I worked with a MtF trans person... have you any idea how hard it is to look at a male and force your brain to remember to call them by a feminine term??? Have you read 1984? All i have going through my mind is "how many lights?" - like i am supposed to suspend reality and forget 40 years of conditioning. And this is just trying to get my head around someone move from one gender to another... i've not gotten on the the supposed 72 genders or however many there are said to be. And in this context, no one can even explain what a gender actually is! I saw a video of a girl explaining that her gender is hawk or something... what are we supposed to do with someone that mentally deranged? Because to question it would mean I'm the one in the wrong, not the person who is quite clearly mentally ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who hits a child should see the inside of a courtroom (and a jail), in my opinion. Have you got any kids ? I often wonder from some of the stuff you come out with, like this, and you shouldn't be upset by the fact you cannot video your child doing something very special (e.g. winning a swimming race at a gala). >>Anyone who hits a child<< Hitting is striking someone (usually puching or kicking them) with the intention to cause pain and possible injury, so yes I would agree they should be in serious trouble. However, slapping a wilfully naughty child does not come under that defintion and it doesn't even hurt them that much. I would point out, BTW, that I only slap my lad when he has been deliberately and seriously disobedient and/or doing something dangerous. Furthermore, when we discipline him differently, which is the vast majority of the time (e.g. no computer time today), he often pleads with me to slap him instead. I decline obviously. 9 hours ago, sibon said: The kids are people too. They have rights to grow up in their own way. They aren’t possessions. Excepting any parent encouraging their child to act in an illegal manner, the only person who has a right to influence a child is the parent, and it certainly is not anybody trying to push their woke ideals onto them.

You seem angry. Calm down and stop it with the personal attacks. Hitting people is wrong. If you can’t think of a way to help a child to make good decisions without resorting to violence, then I feel sorry for you and for your boy.

Anna B Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Kids, especially teenagers, are a work in progress. People forget teens are trying on a number of ideas /groups /personas for size to see if they fit. And they are full of raging hormones at the same time which complicate the picture. Respect this, but remember they can change back and forth at this age, before their sexuality settles down. (Don't a lot of parents know /suspect already that their child is gay, having wondered from an early age?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also pointing the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting is striking someone (usually puching or kicking them) with the intention to cause pain and possible injury, You don’t get to redefine the English language, in order to justify your appalling behaviour. Hitting anyone is wrong. Hitting a kid, who can’t hit you back is cowardly, reprehensible, bullying and completely unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
