For those who do not know, FCPS in 2016 will add as part of their Health (and thus mandatory) curriculum "Gender Fluid" lessons:

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/05/15/call-it-gender-fluidity-schools-to-teach-kids-there-s-no-such-thing-as-boys-or-girls.html

Rise up against this! In all of humanity's history never has a nation ever, ever questioned or taught its children that there's no such thing as gender.

Parents and residents of Fairfax County: DEMAND that the school produce un-assailable, concrete, and irrefutable science and medical based evidence for this curriculum. Course lessions are SUPPOSED to be based on fact; which the school system has NOT produced to justify this "gender fluid" curriculum.

Pull your children or sue the school to stop this. These are impressionable childen to whom this will be taught.

Spread the word; be vocal. Openly and publicly DEMAND that FCPS produce evidence for these lessons; evidence that is conclusive.

For nothing less should be used when it comes to child's identity.

UNITE AND FIGHT!

Dude chill out, gender and sexuality are not black and white!! I think it is a great idea.

I think they voted to reinstate a parent's ability to opt their child out of this curriculum. Although...since this post...Friday, June 26th happened.

Gender isn't black and white? So there is more than XX and XY chromosomes in humans? A DNA test can reveal if a person was Transgender?

No no no .. wait. There really is only the female and male gender and it's decided during conception when two chromosomes fuse.

It's also why all mammals are male OR female and don't get the option to change.

Now if they are going to talk about other species which can change gender based on their environment, then i stand corrected.

Male and female are the only sexes in existence. That is not the same as being the only genders. Sex is physical, whereas gender is psychological.

Why do people still use "there are only XX and YY chromosones" argument when it's been proven that this isn't true? Have you heard of intersex people? "Biology" isn't black and white either, it's a spectrum too.
I for one think that this is awesome.

Intersex people unfortunately suffer from a RARe birth defect. It's 1 in a million. You can not use that as an example. John's Hopkins won't even preform sex change operations due to the psychological damage it wreaks on the person.

No, they will not perform sex /selection/ surgeries, which are commonly done to intersex people at birth, and do cause a negative psychological impact throughout life. That was the result of campaigning by intersex and LGBT rights groups. That's not the same as a sex change surgery.

http://www.acpeds.org/the-college-speaks/position-statements/gender-ideology-harms-children

The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts – not ideology – determine reality.

FCPS needs to re-think what they are doing.

Please, type the words "American College of Pediatricians" into Google. They're not a legitimate pediatric group. They're bigoted right wingers, and are denounced by every single established pediatric group.

It will be a cold day in hell before my kids will be taught such ignorance. Their job is to educate, based on facts and educational needs, not preference, PC correctness or psychological issues. I will pull my kids out of Fairfax County with a quickness.

When will FCPS open all FCPS bathrooms to gender neutral access.
Gender is not how your parents programmed you but the reality of how you currently feel. This can change over a person's life but should not be questioned by people indoctrinated into the "straight" cult.
The world has changed and it is the schools job to fix kids that have been saddled with guilt orthodoxies with the new freedoms that society provides.
This is exactly like white only bathrooms in Jim Crow South.
We shall overcome with the "Straight Cult" assigned its proper negative assignment in the history books.
Watch history unfold in FCPS!

This kind of stuff has already been happening at my school so you might want to start looking into homeschooling, Angie.

Here we go with this bullshit again. I hate stupidity and ignorance. I hope you take out all your kids from the FCPS system. We don't need bigots in the world anyways, and you are just perpetuating it. Go live on your own island and teach your kids your ways. The world isn't just black and white, so do us all a favor and shut the fuck up.

Take a cool shower dude

Do it and save us all money

Comparing this nonsense to Jim Crow south is offensive and ridiculous. Black people didn't "feel" black, they were black and were discriminated against because of it. Dudes with dicks that "feel like" they're women aren't the same. When they get dogs sicced on them while protesting, when they get lynched, when they get basic rights denied because of what they are (not what they think or feel they are), then come back to the big kids table for a discussion.
