I’d argue talking about how babies are made with mommy and daddy is just as appropriate or inappropriate as talking about changing sex, depending on the age, occasion and intent.
Changing ‘Gender’ without deviating sexually however should be fine imho… I’m a straight male and I have never shunned anybody for what they think or believe, many of which were very different than my experience of life or personal belief. If I can’t relate I just accept, and I don’t think any information about genderfluidity would have changed me, but instead maybe even better educated me to know how to respect others that are cause I’ve been in quite a few arguments about it just for being uninformed about something that didn’t apply to me. It’s harder than it should be to ask “why” for reasoning and clarification as a binary without apparently sounding condescendent, so advance information about it would have actually been helpful to me… 😅
Thats true. But this shit isn’t, not for a school library. Furthermore, schools can only hold so many books, many books are appropriate that cover the same subjects, so why this book?
Like, I can maybe get behind the blowjob drawing being a little overbiard if it wasn’t so crude and basic. Most of the other images linked are just a gay couple holding hands or the word VAGINA, or other completely normal things
Sex and puberty happen to young ass kids, stop pretending like it doesn’t and that they should be in the fucking dark about what’s happening to them
Again, forgive me if I don’t trust a site that editorializes as it does in the link title. They clearly have a pre-established issue with the book they’re looking to justify and I believe that issue to be a fundamental aversion to queer existence.
If you don’t want your kid reading it, you can talk to them.
I won’t be ceding any ground to a position which has tried to block even the sale of the book.
It’s queer hatred and none of the arguing is in good faith.
Gender queer is sex education. Just because it has information in it doesn’t mean its appropriate.
Mommies and daddies technically are a sex ed concept. It’s all about context friend.

Just because it’s about queers doesn’t mean it’s _in_appropriate.

Also link to whats actually in gender queer. NSFW. https://theiowastandard.com/shocking-images-from-book-gender-queer-which-is-stocked-in-school-libraries-across-iowa/
Why not that book?
Sounds like you just hate queer people.
You’ll forgive me if i don’t trust a site that editorializes the content as “shocking”.
The images are straight from the book. Regardless of the site, its pretty damning evidence.
And if you really want your kids to read it, you can buy it.
It’s not damning at all, though
