It's all a bit weird in Australia. As well as the Giggle v Tickle case, there's Jacinta Allen, the Victorian premier, defending the policy of teaching five-year-old kids about how their biological sex may not align with their gender identity, and they may be born in the wrong body. Five-year-olds! All in the name of "protecting kids, strengthening resilience of kids and supporting kids to be who they are across our schools”. It's insane.

Fortunately not all Australians are on board. Psychiatrist Andrew Amos, for one. 

One of the trans rights train's most effective strategies is turning leftist politicians into puppets reciting trans fantasies as if they are progressive facts. This works best when the politician has no idea what they're talking about.

A brilliant example is the angry press conference by Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan where she defends schools teaching five year old Victorians that it is possible to change sex.

The Victorian Education Department curriculum for Year 1 students includes exercises that teach kids it is possible to be born in the wrong body. They train kids to go to their teachers to punish other students who don't share their beliefs.

This turns teachers into cultural enforcers bullying schoolkids into toeing the transgender line.

The idea of being born in the wrong body is a harmful delusion promoted by gender activists to indoctrinate children before they have the emotional and intellectual ability to understand and reject the activists' political agenda.

Every sane adult knows that it is impossible to change sex. That is why the vast majority of adults don't want men playing in women's sports, intruding into women's toilets, or invading protected women's spaces like rape crisis services.

Trans activists know that most of the population find their beliefs bizarre or repulsive, so the activists seize every opportunity to insert them into more normal materials.

There is absolutely no justification for five year olds to be exposed to harmful trans ideology. It is well established that many 16 year olds struggle to understand the ideas associated with gender identity.

It is impossible for five year olds to resist a teacher who forces them to agree that it is possible to change sex. It is immoral for teachers to use children to shame their classmates into that impossible belief.

I do not know if Jacinta Allan shares the delusion that it is possible to change sex, but it is undeniable that she has been forced to defend that delusion by trans activists involved in writing Victorian Education Department curricula.

If the Victorian Education Department can't teach resilience without teaching five year olds they can change sex, then Victorian parents should think twice about trusting them with their kids.

"Immoral" is putting it mildly. It's a despicable betrayal of young children.
