How's that sex ed working out for everyone?

That's because they were all teenage parents and didn't know there was something different about them until they hit the midlife crisis.

Okay, you're conflating a whole bunch of different issues here, which I shall address in turn.

The first is whether teachers or parents ought to be giving the sex ed, and I'm fine with the teachers. Yes, I've had crazy and evil teachers, everyone has, but I've also seen a hell of a lot of crazy or evil parents, and I'd say the proportion of bad parents is higher than that of bad teachers. Teachers have to go to a lot of trouble to become teachers and stay employed, whereas to become a parent, a heterosexual only has to get careless.

Teachers also have training in discussing difficult subjects rationally, and parents do not.

Then there's the question of what exactly sex education IS, and at least in my day, gender identity was not part of sex education, and sexual orientation was only a small part of the discussion.

The fact is, kids need someone to tell them what is a biological fact and what is not, what activities are legal and what are not, what will cause pregnancy and what will not, what will injure someone and what will not, what will transmit STDs and what will not, and whether internet porn has any relationship to real-life sex (obviously not). These things might as well be covered in a scientific, factual way, and I hope that's what's being covered on modern sex ed classes.

Now gender identity is a separate subject that doesn't really have anything to do with the biology of sex and is purely a sociological or psychological issue, not something that belongs in sex ed class. And as far as all these new sexual definitions such as "demisexual" go, IMHO that is something that should be glanced upon at best. Labeling your sexuality is something that might need to wait until you're actually used to sex.

As far as gender identification goes, that seems to be something that the schools are being dragged into against their will. Navel-gazing about your gender identity is a fad, particularly on the campuses of liberal arts colleges, and it will fade soon enough.

There's a lot of silliness and fuzzy thinking involved in the whole thing, don't get me started, I'll just say that for most people gender identity is a non-issue, or would be if it weren't a fashionable issue. Most people have a mix of masculine and feminine qualities, as well as a physical sex, and would be better served by getting on being themselves and not worrying about definitions. And none of this has anything to do with sex education anyway, except for the goofballs who want to deny the existence of biological sex.

Parent's didn't teach the "birds and the bees" instead they were role models. Role models came from psychology and it means that most things we learn we learn by watching others.

So, most kids had two parents who stayed together. If they were having problems the kids didn't know. They saw their parents doing there thing every day of their lives until someone died.

So, a kid like that hears about some weird sexual behavior and concludes it is not normal and not for me, because I come from my family. What is normal is two parents a man and a woman. That was their role model for life.

Now, many people have no parents that are responsible consistent role models. So, mom is dating this or that guy, he is here for a month then gone, and so forth. Dad is off somewhere doing whatever. So, the role model is, do whatever you want and nothing matters.

Parents have made life seem like it doesn't matter,

Now there are so many kids living this sociopathic lifestyle that families that are normal can't combat it. We are also conditioned by the media to not explain things. So, it's hard for a lot of people to explain what is wrong about weirdness.

You can have someone in a classroom discuss the clinical, social, and legal factors of sex in a factual and straightforward way, or you can let your kid learn about sex from internet porn.

No shit, Otter. Poor people.

No shit. From what he has said here he shouldn't have a license to practice. Disturbing stuff.

It wasn't 47 years ago, it was still in the DSM 3.

Also, you literally know NOTHING ABOUT THE TOPIC but believe you have an opinion about it.

The reason it was removed is because homosexuals, trannies, etc cannot be changed. Sexual anomalies, etc cannot be changed in most cases. I used to work with sex offenders in prison. That is a learned behavior, as is homosexuality, etc and it is WAY too deep to change. I used to do two years of theory with people, map out their belief system, and judge if they should get parole.

I let one guy out in two years.

Anyway, with homosexuals, there was an extremely high rate of suicide with them if they felt like they needed to change or were asked to. So, psychiatrists love to do "social engineering" and create placebo explanations for things. That's where the "born that way" thing comes from. You can tell that's a lie because no one is born knowing about sex, they must learn it.

That's why it was discontinued as a mental health diagnosis. All mental health diagnosis are unable to be proven. They aren't medical and so no tests. A mental problem is considered so if it interrupts social functioning. Since gays committed suicide a lot if diagnosed that was seen as far worse than being homosexual. In the past homosexuality was seen as negative due to not being able to have a family which was considered gold standard behavior in psych. You were considered autistic if you did not have family interest.

I feel sorry for you for being so arrogant, ignorant, and stupid. All of that is severely impacting your life and you don't even know it.

Education in general has been over run by the Left. We now have big businesses trying to be "Woke" because a lot of their staff were re-educated to believe that they are on some kind of crusade.

I agree with the social contagion thing too. "Slut Shaming" so in other words having sex with heaps of people is good but hang on... men like that, better shame men oh yeah I agree #metoo!

It's all designed to create as much division and distraction as possible. Meanwhile the West is flooded with people from very traditional cultures who will throw trans folks off roof tops as soon as they can.
