God that's so insidious (a word I find myself using over and over for tras). What do you even vote in that situation? Do you vote yes because it will probably be helpful in preventing sexual assaults and other things? Or do you vote no because of the hidden gender agenda?

What an absolute disaster. I KNOW little tomboy me would have transitioned early if they had this. They even made me come out as trans when I was in college. And they think this is a good idea to promote to 5 year olds?

I was sexually assaulted by another kid when I was in kindergarten. I know that sounds crazy, but I'll elaborate. I never told anyone this. There was another girl, a fellow kindergartner, who seemed to be sex crazed and she would bully me into going to the girl's restroom with her. She would tell me to pull my pants down. Sometimes she would force me to dry hump. We were both five. If I didn't do it, she would pinch me.

Do I think this curriculum would have saved me? No. I was bullied. I said no. I never had to be taught what was inappropriate. I just knew. And she knew what she did to me was inappropriate. That's why she threatened to pinch me if I told the teacher.

The school system tried teaching kids to be drug-free with the D.A.R.E. program. How successful was that? Likewise, how would you even measure the success of these proposed sex ed programs? Are they going to follow up with students later on and ask if they've avoided getting assaulted or being the predator? Don't be fooled. Many of us didn't take these courses and we grew up keeping our hands to ourselves. Those who won't were going to grow up criminal anyway. You can't teach away evil. That's my two cents.
