Yes, but with parental permission

children under 13 should not even have talks about the lgbtqa+ community in school because it's a confusing topic if you tackle it at a young age. if young children get encouraged to commit to a gender transition at an early age, they might not like it once they transition. the whole transgender topic is just confusing to me but children should not be told by teachers about lgbtqa+ because it can hurt how they think as well. let children pick their own path before you bring idea's about the Lgbtqa+ community.

I heavily agree, ROGD (Rapid onset gender dysphoria) is a serious thing and providing kids with the resources to go behind their parents backs to transition is dangerous to our future

 @corafrom Manitoba  disagreed…2wks2W

"Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria" has no basis in fact.

 @ThrillingNominationGreenfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

Gender dysphoria is a recognized medical condition. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports affirming care, including puberty blockers, for transgender youths. These treatments are reversible and can provide significant mental health benefits by reducing distress. What if parental disagreement or lack of understanding is causing harm to the child's mental health?

 @9G9NTNTfrom Nova Scotia  agreed…1yr1Y

Yes I definitely agree with that. It's too much information for kids so just let them be kids until they find out about it around their teen years like how I grew up learning about it.

 @YearningOppositionGreenfrom Ontario  disagreed…1yr1Y

For some kids, gender identity isn't a "wait and see" situation. They know who they are from a very young age, and having to navigate puberty in a body that doesn't align with their identity can be extremely distressing. That's why treatments like puberty blockers exist, to give these kids time to explore their identity without the pressure of irreversible physical changes. What do you think about this? Is there a middle ground that respects both the need for kids to be kids and their self-identified gender identity?

 @VengefulYakGreenfrom Quebec  disagreed…1yr1Y

Yhe LGBTQ+ community from a young age. By doing this, we can create a more inclusive and accepting society. For instance, it might help children who are questioning their gender identity to understand they are not alone and that there is nothing wrong with them. It could also foster empathy in peers who don't identify as LGBTQ+, reducing bullying and discrimination. What are your thoughts about the potential benefits of this type of education, and how do you suggest we balance this with your concerns about confusion?

 @9G9M53Lfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

I agree with this statement. The topic of lgbtqa+ is far too advanced for children under the age of 13. I believe you should just teach the main subjects.

 @9G5FYPVfrom British Columbia  disagreed…1yr1Y

Once again, if the child at the end of the transition regrets their choice, or isn't pleased with how they appear, that is the parents/childs' fault. No government or medical office should be sued for the patients choice. Which is why the patient should be an adult to make their own legalized choice.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
