Instead of using binary language like "girls versus boys" when splitting into teams, try using inclusive language such as "party people," "everyone," "humans," "y'all," "friends," or "family." Consider the intersections of gender, race, and sexual orientation, especially when working with young people developing their identities. As educators, we should prepare ourselves to be responsive to our students' developmental stages and growing identities, particularly when teaching literature. Expect pushback when challenging the status quo with equitable practices and policies. This resistance indicates that you are making progress in shifting established norms.

Our job as parents is to listen and believe our children when they tell us who they are. This healthcare is life affirming and life saving.

Four books with LGBTQ themes have been shadow banned by the Waterloo Catholic District School Board Library. One of the banned books, written by Danny Ramadan, tells the story of a Muslim girl questioning why her LGBTQ uncle is not accepted by her family. This ban seems targeted as it involves a religious family not welcoming an LGBTQ relative, while the book's overall message promotes the idea that a family can be religious and queer-friendly. The books are categorized under the professional section, requiring teachers and students to provide a Catholic context to access them. Banning these books sends a message to LGBTQ students that they are not welcome and that it's not acceptable to learn about different identities. It is hoped that the school board will reverse this ban.

Children can begin to understand differences in gender at a young age. Some figure out their gender identity early on, which may not align with their assigned sex at birth. The assumption that a child is definitively male or female based solely on their genitals is incorrect.

Our children, including LGBTQ Americans, are important to our nation's future. It is crucial that we treat everyone in our country with care and respect. This administration wants to assure LGBTQ Americans, especially children, that they are loved, heard, and supported.

In this video, the speaker discusses two controversial books: "All Boys Aren't Blue" and "Genderqueer." They read explicit excerpts from the books and question whether librarians should be the ones deciding if these books are appropriate for children. The speaker then asks the Secretary what they are asking for, to which the Secretary responds that they are advocating for parents not to have the ability to challenge different perspectives on these issues under the guise of keeping kids safe. The speaker insists on a clear recommendation from the Secretary, but the conversation becomes heated and ends abruptly.

We will not let fear win. A world without trans people or drag has never existed and never will. Queer individuals have always been part of our lives; they are our coworkers, family, and friends. Drag is a form of art, culture, education, creativity, and comedy, but it is not a crime. Thank you for your time.

We're gay, but we're in Barnes and Noble's, and there's a gay kid's book section, and this shit is crazy. There's the gay b c's. Bye Bye Binary with a mohawk on a baby. A is for arrow and ace. B is for bi. E is for equality. F is for family. I is for intersex. For a baby, this is pushing it. J is for joy. K is for Kiki. There's no gay word for m.

Using inclusive language is important to ensure that everyone feels included, valued, and empowered. It's necessary to be mindful of our communication and avoid assuming things. Instead of using terms like parent, mom, or dad, it's better to use more inclusive terms like grown ups or families. This simple adjustment can make a big difference in making sure that no one feels unseen. The speaker is open to making more videos on this topic because they believe it is crucial.

Language is important for being respectful and inclusive. We should move away from using terms like "boys and girls" and instead use more neutral terms like "friends" or "scholars." We can also use different techniques for organizing students, such as alphabetically or by color. It's important to provide equal access to toys and materials for all students, regardless of their gender. Using correct pronouns and being kind and respectful is crucial. Some schools have made changes, like replacing "king and queen" with "royal court," to promote equity and inclusivity. These small changes can help create a cultural shift towards everyday practices that are more respectful and inclusive.

Drag is an essential form of art and culture; it is educational, creative, and comedic. Importantly, drag is not a crime. Thank you for your time.

Attacks on and attempts to erase trans kids are also attacks on gay and lesbian kids.

Developing a personal library in your classroom can be frustrating, but it's important for kids to have access to diverse books. You can do it discreetly and apologize if you face opposition. Kids are open to seeing themselves represented in government, history, and literature. Some schools have already introduced non-gender-specific math books. While there may be pushback from the community, it's crucial to provide children with the education and resources they need to become future leaders and make positive changes.

As a mother of two queer children and a leader, the speaker feels a responsibility to address the lack of queer representation in their content. They were surprised to learn that while there are many LGBTQIA characters, there are only a few queer leads. This realization has prompted them and their colleagues to prioritize creating narratives where gay characters can simply exist without their stories solely revolving around their sexuality. Moving forward, the speaker vows to focus more on this issue and hopes that this moment will prevent any regression in progress.

Because let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving health care. When our children tell us who they are, it is our job as grown ups to listen and to believe them. That's what it means to be a good parent. Because let's be clear. This is life affirming and life saving health care.

I discuss statistics with young people to address their insecurities about their bodies. Many feel abnormal because their bodies don't match what they see on screen. I talk about the percentage of people who keep their body hair, squirt, or swallow cum to demystify these expectations. It's concerning when a fifth-grader asks about waxing at such a young age because they've seen it in a magazine. They already feel insecure about their development during puberty. Waiting until eighth grade to address these topics means three years of unlearning before they can receive this information in an affirming and literate way.

"Sometimes it may be just a phase of development where they're exploring their gender identity and they're kind of getting a sense of who they are, but a lot of children do end up identifying as that gender into young adulthood and adulthood." "The only real way we know for sure that they're going to continue in that gender identity is just to allow them to develop over time." "And so that's what we recommend to parents is to give them the space." "Even if parents are concerned that it's a phase, we never want to tell the child that they shouldn't be expressing their gender identity or that they should be, ashamed for the way that they're expressing their identity because that can be quite harmful." "We just want to give the child a chance to develop and explore on their own."

There is a default setting for humans regarding male and female, but it's important to recognize that not everyone fits into this binary. While we should compassionately support those who don't conform, we also need to acknowledge biological realities. Children often lack the understanding to navigate these complex issues, and no parent desires to face such difficult choices. The perception of being transgender may seem trendy today, but it's not a choice made lightly. The prevalence of gender identity issues can vary by location, potentially influenced by societal acceptance or suppression. This phenomenon can be likened to the historical suppression of left-handedness, which increased once society accepted it as normal.

I want children to see themselves in everyday stories, like going to the park with family. This exposure provides them with insights they may not receive in school. Being visible in educational settings allows others to feel it's acceptable to be visible too.

We aim to break down societal norms and promote acceptance of all identities, especially for our children. Our teaching methods focus on intersectionality and normalizing LGBTQ+ experiences. We strive to incorporate diversity into every lesson, making it a regular part of our school environment.

I want to talk to kids. Sometimes people are more than just boys or girls, they can be both or something in between. If you see someone like me, please be extra nice, because we can feel lonely. Being kind is really important.

The speaker discusses two controversial books, "All Boys Aren't Blue" and "Genderqueer," quoting explicit content from both. They question whether librarians should be the sole decision-makers regarding the availability of these books to children. The speaker asks the Secretary what they are suggesting, to which the Secretary responds by saying they are not advocating for kids to report. Instead, they advocate for parents not to have the ability to challenge different perspectives on these issues under the pretext of keeping kids safe. The conversation becomes heated as the Senator demands a clear recommendation from the Secretary.

An 8 or 10 year old deciding to be transgender should face no discrimination. Many transgender women of color are being murdered, with the number possibly at 17 this year. Every daughter should have the same rights to be who they are.

Speaker 0 states that parents do not know best; scientists know the best; experts know the best. They strongly support the standard to enable and empower all students to feel safe, educated, knowing who they are and knowing that it's okay to be who they are.
