I'm not certain how far it goes. My Niece said that it is far more
explicit than they used to touch on for a hetero couple. I can see
telling young kids that some families have 2 mommies or 2 daddies
but at that age I don't think it should go beyond that.

They had a picture book that was explaining that some kids feel like
a girl and some feel like a boy and some feel like both or neither
which she wasn't too happy about - again due to the age. That's fine
if the kids are 10 or 12, but just confuses a 5 year old.

They are finding that some kids are pretty much being talked into
thinking they are gay or trans because they think it's Cool, but
it's at the point where if, for example, a boy wants to dress as
a girl and have everything in the school done treating him as a
girl, that's fine and this can be totally hidden from the parents.

Also some places are starting to allow kids as young as 13 to get
sex change hormones (again, this can be done without parental
consent) but what's starting to show up in some places is kids that
got a sex change when they were 13 or 14 are coming back at age
17 or 18 wanting to be changed back.  (Wasn't so Cool after all!)

As usual, I don't care what people decide in that area but I don't
think any major change should be done before the age of consent,
especially without parental involvement.

I won't comment on the idea that I might've been willing to wear
a skirt in school if it got me into the girl's change rooms. B)

One minor caveat.. some 'cultures', if a child came home saying
they were gay or wanting a sex change, they might be killed by
their relatives, so it's not quite the same situation for all.

I'm sure a lot of other parents might not be thrilled about it
either but hopefully wouldn't react quite that badly..
