Whats Your Poison Slam

Let me begin by saying Personally i am Pro-Choice Its your life live it as you see fit Who am I to tell you what to do ? So what I am about to say I know in reality is hypocritical And only a personal opinion Make of it what you will Everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion But for me I wish more than anything Children would be allowed to be Children My heart sinks when I see young Girl's Caked in make-up , fake tan dressed up Going to School The fact that children are being told Sex and gender is a choice And children are expressing their sexual preference When they shouldn't even know anything about sex Let alone express a preference If you are old enough cast your mind back And ask yourselves this question Were you worried about any of this Or just having fun playing and growing up With your friends Life is full of choices But Nature and Natural order should not be 1 of them How the hell is a child to know what he or she wants When they are 10 What kind of mixed signals are we teaching young girl's If we dress them up telling them beauty is a path Then expect them to be well adjusted and aspirational Teach acceptance And beauty can't be painted on And that a Daughter Is equal to a Son Come on People If we want to be equal Then let children be children And stop telling them what they can and can't do They can make their own choices When they are old and wise enough When they are done playing

Wise words indeed Chris been watching a drama on a schoolchild wanting to be the opposite sex, its compelling viewing as we had 3 transgender pupils at the school I worked at and its becoming more and more accepted. Powerfully penned my friend:-) hugs Jan xx

I don't have any answers to it Chris - the bizarre thing about one of the transgender students was he was an identical twin - now he is transitioning into a female! hugs jan xx

For me the question is this Jan How on earth do kids of a certain age know what the hell sex and gender is all about ??? Who and What the hell are people telling and teaching Kids ??? Very Sad Bad indictment of our Times

You had 3 you say so you are obviously speaking from experience. Im not Religious so use the term Nature instead but some things must be sacristan. Sex Gender Color for me at least is not a choice
