I don't get why this needs to be taught. School back in the day let girls be tom boys , and prep's be preppy. Individuals eventually figured it out then news spread. Did you know so and so is gay. This doesn't need to be taught or praise. What should be taught at a mature age the beatings and hatred towards gays. But this also happens to every human group in humanity. But what is wrong is all the attention towards tom boys and preppy boys. Individualism is the problem. Reality check everyone is so important over individualism when it really makes no difference.

Exactly.

Also lumping people into categories is a separation, a segregation. Instilling pride and acceptance is one thing, but normalizing the aspect of people being distinct and part of a group, a sub-category instead of part of the entirety is ultimately counterproductive. People are people, not an activity or color or job or clothing style, etc,

-Bans LGBTQ discussions in ELEMENTARY classrooms. There is little to no need to discuss that at that age UNLESS the purpose is to push an agenda. There is no need to discuss straight orientation or cis gender at that age either
-Only calls LGBTQ if they insist on introducing age inappropriate topics to children . Straight adults have no business discussing age inappropriate topics with children either. That's grooming behavior as well.
-Give an example of legislating trans kids "out of existence". There are disagreements as to what accomodations are reasonable, like whether females with intact male genitalia should be allowed into what should be safe spaces, like locker rooms, where genitalia may be exposed.
-performing unecessary life altering medical procedures before a child can understand the gravity of it, is typically considered abusive. You have people pushing for medical intervention (not just counseling) for kids as young as 8. They aren't considering punishing parents for reasonable actions like letting thiers children wear gender affirming clothing and using preferred pronouns.

Nobody expects lectures about gender identity, sexual orientation or LGBTQ history in an elementary school classroom. Your argument also doesn’t matter, because they are working in some states to prohibit this topic in all of K-12. When we say “erasing identities”, we are talking about the stigma that is introduced and the harm caused when LGBTQ-related discussion is completely barred from a classroom. Teachers are gay. They are trans. Kids or their families are the same way, and nobody should be prohibited from hiding this or being unable to ask questions to understand, someone can transition to be a different gender and someone can live people of the same sex, and nothing about that is “grooming”.

In states like Alabama where they just implemented an already existing restriction on gender reassignment surgery for persons under the age of 18, they are as clueless as you about what healthcare trans kids really receive. Most of the time it is puberty blockers and hormone therapy, which kids have taken for years for reasons unrelated to transgenderism and only now is the right taking issue with it. Usually underage teens can’t receive top or bottom surgery unless in some exceptions where the parents agree.

Gender-affirming care has been proven through research to provide mental benefits to transgender youth and is endorsed by the APA. Banning this is suicide, and the right doesn’t care about the well-being of trans people.

The word "grooming" is often misinterpreted. Grooming is not always intentional. Any thing that predisposes a child to be molested and/or tolerating it is grooming. This includes encouraging unquestioning submission to authority. Anything that causes children to think they won't be believed. For instance, many children will comment to on the first unwanted touch, and adults will dismiss it as a "misunderstanding" because x would never. As it progresses the child doesn't report it or try again with another adult, because they've already been dismissed.
The problem with initiating discussion of sexual topics with children is they then perceive such topics as age appropriate. Which in turn leads them to believe that sexual behavior is okay at their age. I mean, in children's minds, why else would it be taught to them.
I would argue that legislation that bans even mentioning LGBTQ issues goes too far because you might need to address things like why "Tommy has two mommies". But there is no reason to bring it up without a circumstance that prompts it.

When they started teaching kids about what to watch out for in terms of molestation back in the 80s, it was sad, unfortunate, but necessary.

But when it became this expanded sex ed thing at an early age because of concerns over pregnancy and STDs, it seemed a bit much. Teaching them is going to stop them? Not knowing didn't encourage us back in the day to go do it.

Anyways, knowledge is one thing, but why can't they just let kids be kids and grow up when they grow up?

I was a straight little kid who had crushes on the girls, but sure, no kids are developing crushes on other kids of the same sex.

I had a crush on one girl in kindergarten and first grade. Then another in second grade. I was under 8 years old, yes. And it was also f**king normal.
4 ups, 2y
So, what...we all had "crushes"...that doesn't mean anything sexual at that age.

Which is why sex and sexuality don't need to be discussed at that age. It doesn't mean anything.

Well, I read my daughter's (son now) diary when he was 7. I wasn't trying to invade his privacy. He's a slob and it was a beat up notebook, I was checking to see if it contained anything important because I was going to throw it out. It mentioned an age appropriate crush on a girl, but she didn't know if they liked girls.
BUT, there is no reason to be discussed in school. They know what's normal (statistically common) and know to proceed with caution. When schools insist on discussing sex and sexuality at such a young age, it essentially tells kids to dive into it head first rather than proceed cautiously.
