It’ll Be Our Little Secret
When we picked up our daughter, it was clear on her face that something was incredibly wrong.
Colorado mother Erin Lee describes her discovery of what her 12-year-old daughter is being taught:
She explained to my daughter that if she is not 100% comfortable in her female body, then she is transgender… She then told the kids that parents aren’t safe and that it’s okay to lie to them about where they are… She explicitly asked the kids who they’re sexually attracted to. There were 11, 12 and 13-year-olds in the room when this happened.
She doubled down, [saying] that parents aren’t safe, that heterosexuality and monogamy are not normal, and she then proceeded to hand out her personal contact information to the kids, encouraging them to connect with her without their parents’ knowledge, by cell phone, by email, and by chat platforms like WhatsApp and Discord, where parents can’t see the communication. She also sends them invites to her secret meetings through these channels.
This predacious stranger, it turns out, had absolutely no qualifications to be speaking with children about sexuality. She’s not a licensed therapist or counsellor, she’s not a full-time teacher in the district. Her only qualification is that she’s a lesbian.
A longer video, which may be somewhat eye-opening, can be found here. And a YouTube version here.
The described events, including subsequent meetings with the self-styled instructor, the school’s principal, and members of the school board – and the inevitable accusations of “homophobia,” “transphobia” and “intolerance” – don’t get any less concerning. One might say creepy.
Update:
In the comments, Mags notes this,
She explained to my daughter that if she is not 100% comfortable in her female body, then she is transgender
And adds,
I didn’t know any 12 year old who was ‘100% comfortable’ in their body. It’s called puberty.
Well, indeed. To seize on children’s normal, sometimes fraught, period of adjustment – during which all kinds of anxieties kick in, and during which you’re not even entirely sure how long your legs are going to be from one week to another – and to steer those pubescent children into believing that they may therefore be transgender – indeed probably are – is grotesque.
Taken at face value, the incident does convey an inversion of reality that’s common among ‘activist’ educators and educational bureaucrats. And so, a “safe space” is one in which middle-school children are ideologically groomed by strangers, presumptuous misfits, conspiratorially, in secret, and while actively avoiding their parents’ knowledge or consent.
As we’ve seen many times, hiding things from parents has become a recurring theme.
Update 2:
“I knew this woman was evil, but I didn’t see this coming,” [Erin Lee] said. “This teacher and Kimberly [Chambers] forced us to pull our child out of school by creating an unsafe environment, then discussed sending Child Protective Services into our home because we pulled her out, at our most vulnerable moment as a family—that they caused.
And “that person” is still allowed in the facility? “Predacious”, a new word and a good one.
Moved to a degree by the begging post, I had the arthritic Pinger Finger poised. As has often been the case. Then our host probes another bleak leftist backwater, or ferrets out mad wimmin rampant and I am forced to consider whether I should actually make an offering and thereby encourage more of the utter despair which these grim tidings solicit.

another bleak leftist backwater,
I may have to use that one.

Warmth and reassurance cost extra.
Is your finger still poised? Asking for a friend.
Also, pinger finger.

In private, they’re all but unzipping the kids’ pants, sliding puberty blockers across the table, and telling them a simple operation will fix everything.
“Don’t tell your parents.”
In public, they’ll issue a weepy, “We just want to help kids be happy. Don’t you want kids to be happy?”
Classic motte-and-bailey.
If I was one of those parents, I’d get a restraining order. And whoever gave this freak access to kids should be fired on the spot.
Deeper holes in Hell needed urgently!
And “that person” is still allowed in the facility?
If she were male she’d have been kicked out immediately.

Not “may” but ARE
Isn’t it counter-intuitive for a lesbian to persuade a 12-year old girl that she is not cofortable in her female body?

Possibly from a cannon.

Or by the N Korean alternative – anti-aircraft guns
The only problem with the gunfire solution is that the miscreants don’t have time to reflect on their sins. A nice bonfire might be favourite…with more crowd appeal
Look people, I have been informed, quite exhaustively with much sighing, by my conservative…”conservative” (pro-life, military…”military” veteran, etc.) school teacher cousin that all these stories are made up by politicians “on one side or the other” trying to get you to vote a certain way. You are being conned.
Now…again…where’s that WWIII that I was promised?
Activists insisted that anti-gay conversion therapy doesn’t work because “you are born that way”, and in some places it is now illegal even if an adult wants it. BUT these groomers sure are acting like conversion TO trans/gay/lesbian is possible (rainbow parades in kindergarten), though they will insist they are just freeing the kids to be themselves.
Heterosexuality and monogamy are not normal? Wow, that is going pretty far.
OTOH, most of the extended family knows of my utter disdain for public education… and more than a few are now agreeing. “Teacher appreciation” my arse…
We used to call people like this perverts… we still do.
(OT but noteworthy)
Interpretive dance in the European Parliament. These are not serious people.
No,I don’t want my 12 YO to be happy. I want him to be normal, and at 12 to be full of – in turns – wonder, fear, worry, curiosity, anxiety, desire, fun … You know, the thing ..childhood.
Interpretive dance=doodles but with your arms. I was hoping from the link title that it would be Members of Parliament doing the dancing…hahahaha
I attended my grandson’s high-school band concert yesterday. Among the selections was John Williams’s rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. At the conclusion, the audience rose to give a prolonged standing ovation. I attribute this response to pent-up Americanism bursting out rather than to the musicianship of the band.
Demographics note: This was a private Catholic boys high school. About half of the graduating senior band members were Hispanic and most of them were going on to engineering studies.
They can look forward to some intensive deprogramming at Uni.
Needed even more is the fortitude to send these child abusers / child predators to those holes forthwith.
Similarly, girls are being told that they are transgender or asexual if they don’t have perfect rapport with babies (even though they don’t know any babies), are uneasy about diaper changes, are not sure about sex, do not know what turns them on in sex (before puberty, mind you), like sports a lot (well, apparently women’s sports are only for men playing dressup), or are not sure whether they like boys or if boys have cooties.
And when you tell kids that it is normal to just live your life and become adult through time and trial, or that baby attitudes are a learned skill and not magic, or that they should talk to their parents and ask about these things, they are amazed and doubtful. Because it is not what they are told.
Good news, everyone! If your daughter or son not 100% comfortable in her female or his male body, Target™ is here for you, or them, or they.
Compression tops, packers or tuckers, they have it all – up to 6X.
Sigh.
I’ll ask the usual question: where is this girl’s father?
When I was a kid, girls for sure were a mystery. There were no girls in our sports or rough-housing. Did not know how to talk to them. This obviously did not make me gay. Boys and girls just played separately.
The claim that if a girl is not 100% in on being feminine then they must be trans is the worst kind of misogyny, enforcing rigid norms.
“tops, packers or tuckers”
Sounds…Australian. or something.
I didn’t know any 12 year old who was ‘100% comfortable’ in their body.
On my 11th birthday I was 5’0″ tall. On my 12th I was 5’7″ tall (and puberty officially started 3 days after my 12th birthday).
There were many reasons, I hated junior high. This new ackward body was one of them.
In 8th grade I took ballroom dancing (yes, I’m that old). One of the most awkward parts was asking girls to dance. When the instructor had the girls ask the boys, it was just as awkward. You are going to interrogate such kids as to their sexual preferences? Their preferences are to go hide.
As to loving babies as a proof of being a girl: as a guy, I never looked twice at a baby but when I had my own I was the best dad. So many stereotypes going around this trans stuff.

Most young girls don’t either. One of the disadvantages of small families where there may be only 1 or 2 kids and not a lot of cousins is that babies become alien beings, seen from afar and rarely encountered in one’s own home. Outside of a couple of cousins, I didn’t do any care of babies or toddlers until I started babysitting (at 12 y/o, something that would get parents arrested for these days). I found them interesting but wasn’t overwhelmed … until years later when I was preggers with my first.
You can tell who are the moms in an office … someone comes in to show off a new baby and we flock to it and elbow each other out of the way for holding time. 😉
The left doesn’t give a dried mouse turd for girls, boys, trans, or not. IF they can force people to accept men as women, they can force us to accept any other lie they choose, and those lies can change moment to moment. Reality? Pfft. It is what they say it is, prole.

Darleen,
With all the memes, Orwell’s likeness is becoming well-known. This is a good one.
If you start your political movement 100% with lies (cops only shoot unarmed blacks, blacks arrested for no reason, women make 77cent/$ of men, systemic this and that) and you have an insatiable lust for power, disaster is the result.
Reality? Pfft. It is what they say it is, prole.
Perception is reality. A psychiatrist told me that nearly 40 years ago. I tried to warn people. They didn’t want to hear. Now they cry that trannies took their grandchildren. Sometimes it is to laugh.
hey can force us to accept any other lie they choose, and those lies can change moment to moment.
It’s important to realize that what you’re seeing right now is the result of Soviet agitprop winding up a bunch of true believers and useful idiots in the 70’s and setting them loose to begin the demoralization of the West. It doesn’t matter that the Soviet Union is gone and no longer funding them; these groups have become self-sustaining, and largely never knew they were Soviet tools in the first place.
and largely never knew they were Soviet tools in the first place
And then you have the ones who knew full well they were Soviet tools and were 100% on-board with it, and have taken the reins of these movements to ensure the demoralization continues.
Considering how much prominent western “intellectuals” supported the Bolsheviks, you could easily have causality backwards.
I think there is a natural tendency for “intellectuals” to be attracted to totalitarianism: They are attracted to political philosophies that entitle them to tyrannical power and special economic privileges. And, having excessively high opinions of themselves, they think they deserve it (the Teacher’s Pet disease.)
These safaris through the cultural wastelands are forbidding enough, populated as they are by roaming misfits, mutants and grotesques.(See 9:02 above) But when leavened with mockery and lacerations, wrapped in diverting prose, the overall package is worth a PING.
Also, pinger finger.
Tip jar hit and subscription started for maling me laugh out loud. Again. Yes, I’m perpetually 12, so what?
I knew I’d bugger something up. What offence has that dopey digit committed? iI will be severed if needs be. Has my bank account been moved to Lichtenstein?

Bless you, sirs. May your taxi driver be entertaining and know when to shut up and concentrate on the road.

Bless you, sir. May you steer clear of the third seasons of Penny Dreadful and Elementary, both of which drop in quality.

Someone should tell Ms Qinyue that chippy, pretentious bint is not a great way to go through life.
Somewhat related.
And of course this.
Why, it’s almost a pattern.
I could do this all day.
OT, but you know times are tough when the Rolls owners are stealing from the Lamborghini owners.
Heh. But I’m sure that Rolls was stolen.

Great 70’s ProgRock album name…
