“My name is Kit and I’m 12 years old. I live in a house with my mum and dad, and our
dog, Pickle. When I was born, the doctors told my mum and dad that they had
a baby girl, and so for the first few years of my life that’s how my parents raised me.
This is called being assigned female at birth. I wasn’t ever very happy that way.”
These are the opening lines of a controversial new book called Can I Tell You About
Gender Diversity? which is being introduced into some primary schools as a resource
for children, parents and teachers, and claims to be the first book to explain “medical
transitioning” to children as young as seven.
It is not published until later this month, but the slim volume has already prompted fury
from the Mail on Sunday, former Tory party chairman Lord Tebbit and one-time
Conservative Home Office minister Ann Widdecombe, as well as Mail columnist
Sarah Vine who complained that the target audience was children not even ready to
choose their A-levels, “let alone challenge their own biology”.
The book is written by LGBT activist CJ Atkinson. Speaking to the Guardian in their first
ever interview, Atkinson condemned the media coverage as misleading, inaccurate
and potentially harmful for young people who identify as transgender...'

Are you freakin' kidding me...?!! Is it really a simple fact that a child is born and 'assigned'
a gender? As nature screwed up in not identifying what is a male and female?!
I'll have to send Boy In A Dress around to visit Ms. Atkinson!
