Rayven In Wonderland i understand religion but sexual health should definitely be taught!! Teen pregnancy rates are so much lower in places that do teach this stuff! Many families are completely against talking about sex, whether it be due to their religion or because their family is more conservative. Mine never talks a single word about it for example, i had no clue about any form of contraception until i was taught at school. I really cant express how extremely important it is that people are taught this in schools!!!
@@rayveninwonderland5152 Sexual education reduces rates of teen pregnancy and STDs. And I don't know your thoughts on abortion, but sex education also reduces the amount of abortions and the amount of children put into the foster system. Teens will always have sex. It's better to teach them to be safe than think that not talking about it will prevent them from doing it. Because if you think sheltering teens from learning about sex will do any good, you are naive.
Imagine we taught kids at school about disabilities and then they all turned disabled. That’s how much the argument doesn’t make sense. I am trans* and disabled... I had no education about LGBT and it made me feel so confused and alienated and I had to go to single sex classes for sex education which meant none of what I was taught meant ANYTHING. So how does that “education” help me stay safe in the world of sexuality and sexual health. Rant over.
@Madelyn Stanton Oml yea my grandmother (who I lived with until I was 8) never mentioned puberty to me. I'm 13 now, and she STILL refuses to talk about it
@Vinnie Okay that's even weirder and more stupid!!! The logic of these parents: "My child is going to go through puberty at some point in their teenage years. Instead of teaching them about it, I'm going to make sure they get terrified and have no idea what's happening to them!! What a wonderful idea! This will not hurt my child in any way!"

There's a very lovely children's book called King and King by Linda de Haan about a prince who's supposed to get married so his mother the Queen can retire. They invite several princesses but none click with the prince. One of them arrives with her brother though and the two princes fall in love with each other immediately and get married. It's super cute and a nice spin on the classic princess marries prince trope. Just a thing I thought off connected to lgbtq+ education.
We had a world book day teacher swap where we had a different teacher for about half an hour and they read us some of their favourite book. I was in Year 3 at the time so I was 7, and most of us were past that kind of book (in terms of it was written for a younger age group). However this teacher came to us, and said she'd read us that, especially as it was short and we would be able to finish it. As far as I know, all the other teachers were reading Roald Dahl books and things like that. She asked first if we wanted to share what we thought would happen, and I predicted the basic storyline, and she asked me if I'd read it before. I hadn't, but clearly at that age I had a gaydar. When we read it, the only kids who didn't get it were the ones with loud obnoxious parents who liked to spread their conservative views. What does that tell you about parents?
I had a guy i my class who came out as trans (mtf) and we were like, "so you're a girl now?" and she just "yeah" and we just looked at her and "okay, so what's your name?" and then we all went to class and that's that. It's that easy folks.
I misgendered my trans friend for a sorta long time. I thought he was mtf (his voice is kinda deep) but he's ftm. He never bothered to correct me 😂 I love him either way. He's a great friend
I like it when people don’t react when I come out to them.When I came out to some of my cousins a few of them were fine with it and didn’t really care but two of them just stared in disbelief one of them saying “I can’t believe that my own cousin is gay” thankfully for her one of my other cousins came out as bi almost immediately after she had said that.
What REAL indoctrination looks like growing up in a very religious home and school: religious class every day, school chapel every week, church every week, bible study every week, bible camp in the holidays, talking about religion often in other classes, constant pressure to be spiritual, constantly talking about it at home and being expected to spend time reading the Bible and praying daily
There's also the other way round: no religious education allowed in schools, plea to the state in school every week, reading hymns to the state in school, don't talk about anything remotely to do with religion openly unless you say it's all bullshit. Learning in primary school that Jesus has never lived, it is all a big fat lie. Don't get caught reading a bible! All fairy-tale and youth books (Anne Frank's diary, for example) are "cleaned" of words hinting to any religious believe. If you go to church, no academic studies for you! Needless to say, it hasn't changed my religion - it rather kindled the interest in it.
I go to a religious catholic school that actually doesnt push beliefs. Everyone is caring, accepting with small light teasing just to annoy. All Teachers respect your beliefs, sexuality ect which means my school is like one of the few schools that allows students who are lgbt, atheists, muslims etcs and don’t discriminate them. Of course we do friday masses every once a month but you dont have to pay attention just donate for the support of blind people and just like sit down and quietly chat with friends. Whats good is that we give blessings like necklaces just for good health which is a different color than the one given to the religious kids. A little bonus in programs and talent shows everyone show their gayness resulting to HAPPY GAY SCREAMS and have extra points(for PE, Music, and english classes grades) for audiences impact.
My christian mom: Study the bible! Me, a gay baby: Ok. _When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment._ (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
@@elektra121 I have never heard of any school doing that. Although I dont think religion should be taught in school, it shouldnt be discredited either (unless its religious studies or philosophy and its relavant, still opinions shouldnt be forced). The idea is that no religion should be given priority in school. Ideally it shouldnt even be mentioned, religion should eb a private affair as not all students are religious or believe in the same God.
@@elektra121 I never got taught that Jesus didn't exist or anything of that sort in primary or secondary school. We were taught that people have different beliefs and that none of them are wrong.
I babysit my three distant cousins all the time (5-10 year old girls) and when I came out as trans, I went to baby sit and found a brand new book on the table for me to read to them about a blue crayon who was accidentally made with a red label who tries to draw red items but it always seems wrong. anyways, it was adorable and watching the eldest sister explain it to the younger two was such a special and important moment to me.
Can you imagine how amazing it would of been for us to have this teaching in school! Yeah I think it seems like a lot of people are coming out of the woodwork about this is because they had their own way before and now they know it's getting taken away!
Roly great to see you Roly! Awesome to have such a great LGBT creators that work together and respect one another - sending love from the Midlands (Uk) - huge fan of the both of you! I'm a straight trans man with not a single modification and still love you both! Not sure is this made any sense at all!
they do teach it, but they teach it wrong saying that being pan and bi is the same. They also talk about how being gender fluid and non binary is the same

I actually got lgbt education in primary school (it was touched upon and the terms were explained) and it actually helped me to figure out my identity a lot. I was finally given a name for my feelings and im so grateful for it. more in depth education is probably needed but I hope that it becomes something that is taught in schools around the world, who knows how many young people it may help
@@dark_attribute Ireland ! we had a marriage referendum a few years ago for gay marriage and that was when we were taught about the comminity a little bit
Great Awakening,how do you function as a human?The media around them when they were growing up was predominantly straight.Are you an actual child or do you just think like one.
Story time- I was never taught about the LGBTQ+ community in school, and I wish I was. Here's the scoop: In fifth grade I knew this person who was a girl. I didn't see them until late middle school, and they were a boy. I got so confused and had the mindset of "You can't just BE a boy if you are a girl." But a year later, and lots of researching, and 2 out of 3 of my best friends came out to me as trans, and I totally accept and understand them. School never taught me to accept and understand the LGBTQ+ community. That made it even more confusing because it took me up until really recently to figure out who *I* was. I finally believe I'm biromantic ace, but I had to spend loads of time trying to figure it out. So that's why I think, just from personal experience, that schools SHOULD at least teach about it a bit. I had to figure out on my own what everything meant, and THAT was confusing, let me tell you.
Something kinda similar happened to me I was raised homophobic and never believed there was anything else, my friend came out to me and I was confused since I never learned about the community after about half a year I accepted her and the community and then in 2 years i had the ability to find out that I’m pansexual it just shows that when growing up with a homophobic heteronormative society it took a while to figure out who I liked instead of being pushed into the box of being straight with no questions
Same. I have so many regrets related to not learning about lgbtq+ stuff until I found it myself online in middle school. I remember in 2nd grade there were two girls who said they wanted to get married when they grew up, and I remember insisting that they couldn't. Not because I thought it was wrong, but because I had never heard of that happening and so thought they wouldn't be allowed to, and I didn't want them to grow up planning on it only to be disappointed. Even though it was so long ago I still feel so bad about that. I also had a friend who's ftm and growing up (before he came out) everyone assumed he was a boy because if how he dressed, and any time they did I would vehemently correct them because I thought that I was defending my friends right to be a girl who didn't conform to gender norms. But I was basically doing the opposite of what I thought I was doing. Luckily I stopped when I learned what being trans was on CZcams cause I realized he might be, but I just really hope I never did it in front of him cause that probably have made him feel crappy. But yeah anyways. If lgbtq+ people had even just been mentioned as existing in my schooling then maybe those things wouldn't have happened. Even as a senior in highschool I've only had one English teacher who talked about queer stuff, and it sucked because she was a truly awful teacher(like absolutely insane. She ended getting fired) so no one wanted to participate, and she also literally tried to make people out themselves in front of the class. Blah
I'm in year 9 and we actually had LGBT related assemblies back in June and some of my friends actually came out, so i think LGBT+ education is wonderful from experience
I wish they did that at my school, I was would’ve thought I was straight if my friend wasn’t trans which made me educate myself about LGBT+ and find out about the different sexualities. If they do that at every school gay, Pan, trans, non-binary, bi, etc. kids wouldn’t think they’re broken and be more accepting of others
I honestly don't know when I would've found out about LGBTQ+ stuff if I wasn't kicked out of 6th form cuz my grades were too bad to continue to year 13. My school had nothing whatsoever, I heard occasionally gossips and jokes but that's the extent of what I knew of LGBTQ+ stuff until I went to college and met people out as LGBTQ because I was finally in an environment open or safe enough for people to be out to others and themselves, only then did I learn and finally discover my sexuality, 2 years later my romantic, 3years later my gender. Big oof. I'm so glad it's finally taught (for reference I'm only early 20s,( I was in the last year before tests between year 12 and 13 mattered), and I didn't know of a single person out as anything in my school before I went to a college)
“This is indoctrination” - if you’re so against indoctrination then close private schools and any school which bases its education on Christianity or another religion.
The private school I teach at actually IS based on Christianity. And I teach about gender varieties and how they are natural and have to have the exact same rights each. I teach about nonbinary people and transgender. I include as much diverse religions, POC, sexualities and genders as I'm able (still not enough, I'm afraid) in my lessons. I talk about racism and sexism and ableism and how all of that is engraved in society and has to be changed (and historically has changed somewhat, luckily). And you wanna know why? Because this is what Christ would have done and my religion taught me I should do.
elektra121 I’m really really happy to be reassured that religion does good in this world. At the same time there are so many decisions that effect people’s education and general livelihood because of traditional views based in religion. My public school doesn’t teach even close to the extent you seem to at a private school. It would be amazing to improve the curriculums in both private and public schools but I definitely believe that it will be more difficult in the private religion based schools. Since there is a type of indoctrination in religion (in general not necessarily in the case of every spiritual or religious individual) that excludes certain groups of people.
@@h.a.p8278 Hi! Thank you for your very long answer. You and me come from very different parts of the world, apparently. You see, where I'm coming from, most of the people are Atheists (which I deem a good thing, because it means they have not be forced into any religion and are free to choose one if they so wish). Christians (and the very few people of other religions) were a marginalised group and were discriminated against by the state (not allowed to study, for example) for decades. So they know very well how it feels like to be a minority abd won't come to the s t r a n g e idea to discriminate against other minorities. On the contrary: the first LGB (I don't think they thought much about transgender/intersex people back then) were solely churchly ones - because Jesus told to help people being discriminated against. A lot of music groups (Blues, Punk etc.) were not allowed to perform in public - so only the churches allowed them to play their music. All that exclusion you associate with religion/christianity took place from the side of the (Atheist) state. Church was about being open-minded, include all people (because we are all brothers and sisters), fighting together for equal rights for all - because that is what Jesus would have wanted. You see: this exclusion thing is a thing of who is in power and works in an atheist world as hellish as in countries that deem themselves oh-so-religious (without really giving a shit about the core message of their religion). It's not about religion at all. And that's why I'm so annoyed a lot of Atheists think themselves a huge lot better people, because "they don't buy all that religious bullshit". You see, it's an easy way to feel like a great human being without doing so much as winking your little finger - only because religious people are in your opinion so much below yourself (please note that I don't mean you personally by this, because you seem a rather decent person! It's just that I encounter this mindset all too often.) Conclusion: it's not about religion. It's about which group is in power and is not critical of themself. There are public schools and private schools and religious bound and atheist ones. None of which is any indicator of how good or bad they are. (Also: in my country all private schools has to teach the exact same curriculum of the public schools. You can do more, if you like, though.) What is the case in the US can be completely different in a country of the former East block or in country in Africa or in a South Asian one. Looking down and shaming others while doing nothing yourself does not make you a better person, on the contrary! (Again, I hope you understand the 'you' doesn't mean you personally.) Every one of us has to do their best as a human being, regardless of religion or not.
elektra121 Theres not a single thing I will dispute there! Haha. There’s obviously extremities on both sides and I reckon we’ve both felt the backlash of one side or the other but it’s cool that we can fully agree that looking down on anyone for your beliefs or non-beliefs shouldn’t be accepted or encouraged and definitely shouldn’t be taught (in schools or at home).
Amazingly, exposure to people who are trans HAS caused me to question my gender identity! ... I'm now _not only_ 100% positive that I'm still cis, I'm also: • consciously aware of this for the first time; • appreciative of my body in ways I'd never thought to consider; • grateful for the privilege this has granted throughout my life. Because creators like Jamie are willing to share their stories in such depth, I've come to see things I never would have otherwise, and it's made me feel: • saddened that there's more intolerance and injustice out there than I can fathom; • determined not to contribute to anyone's sense of these, even by ignorance; • hopeful that this exposure will, in time, lead society to treat all people as simply people. TL;DR Thanks to the wonders of CZcams, I've learned so much about the experiences of people who are different from me; in the process I've become better acquainted with myself. 🏳️🌈🍍
As a bisexual girl I wish I was taught about this too I was so obviously attracted to girls and boys growing up but chose to basically ignore being attracted to girls because I kid you not: I didn't know being LGBT was a _thing_ until I was 12 It's hard man... It's hard. But at least I know now!
@@mysticknight1494 I forgotten that I wrote this. I didn't know much about it as a child either. I wish the adults at the time did teach us about these things, but I learnt myself over time.
I remeber I don’t have lgbt education exactly in the form of lessons. But my school do advocate for equality and they have posters on the walls explains being trans (simply but enough for someone to get the general idea) and posters explaining sexuality. Without those things I would never of known who I was and I would be in a confused sad state now. The fact that their is an lgbt club at my school to make people feel welcomed and safe also makes everything feel like it’s ok. And that’s what more schools need. Just a place to make lgbt students feel like the ya rent sinners and what the are feeling is ok, because everywhere around them, at home and even online, they are told that it’s not.
I relate. I'm male, but have always acted very feminine and tend to wear a lot of female blouses, hoodies and jeans etc, as a teenager i always wore makeup and painted my nails. Most of my role models and idols are female too, masculinity just doesn't feel as natural to me. Most my friends joke that i'm probably transgender and i'm always just like "ha yeah... Probably..." 😅
At my old school sometimes the principal would interrupt class to tell us Bible stories. She also grabbed my wrist and yelled at me even when I told her to stop and didn’t punish a girl at all for trying to kill me.
@@billystokes3917 unfortunately it happens at school all the time both religions indoctrinating children and attacks on kids... kids are cruel and sometimes they go way too far
Yeah I feel like I would have been a lot happier knowing that there wasn't something wrong with me. I always just assumed I was weird or that I was just somehow a broken person and it hurt me a lot growing up.
Same. As an aroace, it always hurt me when I saw others having crushes and thinking others were cute when I just couldn’t feel anything for others, no matter how hard I tried. Really made me think there was something wrong and broken inside of me, and that I would never be able to have any actual friends or that I would always be left behind. Knowing that I’m aroace has made me so much more confident in myself, and able to connect better with others.
I'm Ace, from comments from people, i was broken, i was odd. I was almost 20 (I'm 32 now) when i found out that there were others like me, that i wasn't 'broken'. I'm all for schools learning more about this subject.
Oof I realised I'm ace when I was 14, and I'm so damn happy about it cuz I was so scared I had to marry a man and have sex with him... This really helped me be less scared of relationships and the future
Same. I have the thing of being aromantic as well and I just thought I was??? Screwed up, malfunctioning, or broken. I remember lying about crushes and feeling forced to pretend to entertain feelings towards the people who liked me. I just around out i was aro ace (also trans) at 15 and I wish so much that I was able to find out sooner.
I'm currently 17, and a few years ago I thought I was ace! Despite now realising that I'm not ace (I now identify as queer) I will forever be grateful that I found out about asexuality when I was younger. I remember the realisation I felt when I learned what the word meant, and it was kind blowing when I realised it was a possibility. If I had been taught about this earlier on, I know I would've felt a lot less alienated and insecure about it!
The day my class learned about the word gay (the year 2 teacher was asked what it meant, she didnt explain further than the definition) kids started using it as an insult. This is why LGBTQ+ education is needed
And religion isn't confusing for kids? If anything, it's *the lack* of LGBT education that confuses them. A lot of LGBT children don't know that they are perfectly fine and live a life of anxiety and fear, which impacts their mental health. I know something about it, that's how my life looked like.
@@naarelservs9713 Yes, it is confusing. Children should be only taught science and history until they are actually able to understand these controversial phenomena.
*Here's a description of what it's like in schools where there is strong LGBT+ education:* In Canberra, the capital of Australia (population 430,000), it's compulsory for high schoolers in government-run schools to learn about LGBT+ stuff as part of health classes. This includes the difference between sex, gender, and sexuality, as well as different sexualities (and how they're all fine!) and that gender is a spectrum (the model we were taught with had two lines between male and female, with agender and genderfluid as midpoints). Both my high school and senior high school had very proud LGBT+ and Allies clubs run by enthusiastic teachers, and there were lots of posters in hallways and classrooms saying things like 'Trans rights are human rights' and advertising helplines, including ones for LGBT+ people. Someone many years ago had even hung a huge rainbow flag along the ceiling of the student foyer, and no one had taken it down. Hundreds of students would pass under it every day, and it was never a big deal because we had been taught not to hate. I remember one day someone opened a rainbow umbrella in the corridor and several trans kids went to stand under it, proudly taking in the 'gay bad luck'. This sort of pride and acceptance was totally normal so I was legitimately surprised to learn most schools aren't like this. Having only been to these kinds of schools, I can't compare much, but I will say there were lots of openly gender non-conforming and questioning kids and everyone I saw (including the teachers) was supportive. They had so much pride and self-confidence. And there was still a majority of straight cis people, the difference was that they had learned compassion and respect. Also our local government is pretty great, in the lead-up to the 2017 Marriage Referendum it made a bunch of rainbow buses!
That sounds wonderful :,> I've only seen this type of attitude from the community, school and government towards LGBTQ+ in movies or on the internet. It sounds like a wonderful dream.
I mean, I could hand you a very long list of reasons why there is no good state government in Australia. For example how many people support the National's bill to restrict language and define trans people out of legislative protections? But otherwise, yea. Honestly Australian schools are pretty lit for lgbtqia+ kids. Have been for a while now. When I was in highschool (some 10+ years ago now) it wasn't *great*, but the support for us was still there and it was pretty solid. It was really only other students that ever caused problems. Like I got expelled in highschool for getting threatened by a bunch of dudes with knives because I kept getting between them and the less physically capable GSRM kids when they wanted to go gay bashing. But the school counselor ended up quitting over it because he'd worked really, really hard to keep me alive, enrolled and attending, along with a couple of my friends around the same time. Like if we were having gender or sexuality related issues the counselor actually knew what to say and how to help us, and he was incredibly warm and accepting. Even the pastoral care officers (basically counselors but religious) were super good with us.
If you’re questioning something you _don’t_ block the people you’re questioning. From speech, and especially not seeing your “questions.” Stupid compounds on stupid, to create a feedback loop.
Truth. Honestly I don't even mind the occasional "okay gays this seems odd or unlikely" type of questioning. But there's a big difference between "I'm not taking you at face value" and "It doesn't matter what you say, I oppose it on a personal moral note."
Questioning an outrageous increase in people identifying as trans in gen z is absolutely valid. Trans = 0.4% of the population, until Gen z. It is off the charts. It is imperative we understand what is driving this number up. It makes no sense.
@@ginaweith9475 Is it the tidepods? We told you not to eat those, Gina! Now look at yourself, you're an idiot who can't fathom that being more accepting of a group has less people of that group hiding in the closet. Society has failed you, but someone out there will pray for you :'(
I think LGBT+ education is so important in this day and age. There is too much hate, fear and non-acceptance of our LGBT+ friends. I think it will help to change that. It's so sad that there are people who would block a chance to understand and learn about the LGBT+ community. Especially the kids out there who are struggling to understand themselves. BTW, Kimonos are amazing!
My new provincial government put our sex ed standards back to the '90s and set up a snitch line for parents to call if their children snitched that a teacher was teaching the contemporary model. Luckily the supreme court said that constitutionally any school could choose to follow the 2015 model and that the provincial government couldn't force them to teach the antiquated one, but any school can still force backwards teaching on their students as long as the teacher desires to do so.
One day while I was sorting books for a kindergarten class, I found a book that the title or cover art interested me (forgot which bc i forgot what both were), so I started reading it. It was about a little boy who just wanted to play with dolls, and I think pretty much everyone except his grandma didn’t accept that. His grandma told him it’s okay to want to play with dolls and other “girly” stuff, and I think at the end even got him a brand new doll. It just warmed my heart to read that. I wish we had more books like that in classrooms.
Last year an entire department in my Highschool agreed that they would ask for student’s pronouns when they did their whole “get to know me” thing on the first day of class. And at least the teachers I had asked me whether they wanted to straight up tell the whole class that I use they/them pronouns, or if I wanted them to just casually use them and hope others catch on, and I appreciated that so much cuz that school tends to have transphobic and especially enbyphobic students A LOT unfortunately
Yeah, why would people think that when they did not choose to be straight? You can't choose who you fall in love with, or who you are attracted to, or what gender you are. I certainly did not choose to be bi. There's never been a moment that I sat down and decided "You know, I'm gonna be bi this year, that'll be fun."
(i should point out - this is not an unfair description of me, being that i'm planning to do a doctorate about how opera is and always was for the gays... somewhere down the line, but i loved it at the time.)
I was surrounded by straight people during my formative years and guess what, it didn't mold me. I was very confused only because there was no one whom I could ask about it. How wonderful it would have been for me to have someone make it less stressful, less mysterious. Hanging around straight people doesn't make you straight. Hanging around gay people can't make you gay either. You are what you are. What's mysterious to me is how straight people came up with the idea that sexuality can be changed one bit.
Actually, for a very tiny fraction of people you can change your sexuality. It just takes a lot of time and telling yourself you are something you really aren't... I know it from experience.
@@fredericksaxton9782 I know two, one changing because of a very negative experience, but that I don't count because it really wasn't voluntary, and the other one just... decided she's gonna be a lesbian? It's a long story, but even her damn doctor doesn't get it. She tried to explain it to me but from what I understood it involved pulling a Pavlov on herself and faking it till she made it. Apparently she doesn't think she can "go back straight" now, but she's happy with her lil stunt... Honestly from all the other things she pulled off in her life (Including visibly changing her natural hair colour over the course of a month, using what she described as "Just a little diet and some self-convincing". She cut off the old colour, grew the new one out long, kept it for a few years and then just let it fade back to what it was before...) I'm pretty sure she is some other breed of human, so probably doesn't even apply to the rest of the species... But still, the ability to do that is about as changeable in a person as them being gay, so again, it is a matter of being born that way... However, I think sexuality can be changed, just like nearly everything. What we like is in our brain, so poking the right clumps o' cells the right way could change it in a person, just like it can change other deeply engrained things, but unless done completely voluntarily that is about as ethical as chemical sterilisation, and before humanity can manipulate a brain for any purpose that way we'll either be colonising a second solar system, or most likely extinct... Of course, even if that is true, it does not give anyone the right to go spew about changing sexuality, even if that technology was available, and certainly not now. So no, niether Jesus, emotional torture or an electric chair can turn your son straight, Bethany.
@@Victor_Graves Well outside of like, getting a tan, no, don't know where you got that from... I mean, unless you got your body to produce different amounts of melanin somehow? Then maybe? But pretty sure there's no way to really do that right now.
@@Victor_Graves I know. There is a way to change anything with sufficient technology... If you can figure out what neurons control sexuality and manipulate them precisely enough to change it, you can change sexuality... If you can figure out how to manipulate the body to produce less or more melanin, you can have it do that. As far as I know, that might be possible one day, but right now it's sci-fi.
Same, we had to pray 40 minutes a day, and there was a small chapel on the school, were some days we had to stay on our knees for hours on wood... but yeeaaaah, the gays are the ones who indoctrinate, suuure

Last schoolyear I learned about diversety in my social science class. I was late in the lesson and when I came in the first word I heard was "Transgender". As a closted trans dude, I freaked out inside. Seems my teacher was just teaching about it and I was so happy that my class now know about it. :)
"I don't like kids learning about LGBT and Pride. It'll confuse their impressionable minds and they usually don't even understand what they're doing at Pride. We can't trust them with a pet so why trust them thinking they're LGBT?" I don't like kids learning being cis/het is the only normal and God is real. It'll confuse their impressionable minds and they don't even understand what they're doing at church. We can't trust them with a pet so why trust them thinking they're cis/het Christians?"
Fun story about LGBTQ+ in school: some kid was reading an article about homelessness and it said something like “70% of homeless children identify as trans or non-binary” and he asked what non-binary meant. One kid said something like “it doesn’t exist people just want attention” and my teacher said no and then explained what non-binary meant! It was awesome:)
i feel like there are so many things that schools are failing to teach kids today, lgbt+ history/knowledge included. kids like me and my older siblings who have graduated, are wholly unequipped to be real life adults, because schools only taught us things they wanted to teach us, which was largely stuff that would get us into college in order to study STEM. schools aren't teaching proper arts, aren't teaching us things about our society, our culture(s), aren't teaching us real life skills like taxes and basic sewing/repair skills and first aid and other things that we need to know in order to live day-to-day. hats off to teachers - you guys spend your days teaching the next generation, hoping to create a better tomorrow, and that's admirable. but the education system as a whole needs to be reformed. college and STEM aren't the only things that exist, people also need to learn how to be people.
As a teacher, I hear complaints about how totally awful schools are like weekly. And, you know what? I (mostly) disagree. People are expecting schools to be places of learning in basic reading/writing/calculating skills, theoretical knowledge and practical competences in diverse sciences, multiple languages, music, arts, history, society/cultures, economics, religion, philosophy, current and historical politics, computer sciences and programming, moreover practical life skills like cooking, housekeeping, driving, "doing taxes", how to fill out various forms, how to vote, how to plan your learning, how to do research, first aid, parenting, sexology, healthy eating, healthy lifestyle, general social competences like obeying rules, civility and etiquette. Then school should be a safe space, a space where kids get physical exercise, a space where they are under constant supervison yet as free as possible, a space where they get to know 'real life', a space where kids can spend their afternoon with 'sensible activities'. School buildings are expected to be spacious, accessible, well equipped and beautiful. And all of this with the least amount of money humanly possible (and even then it is deemed to be "too much"). Teachers are expected to be experts in every tiny detail of their subjects, role models in every regard, model citizens, surrogate parents, mentors, social workers, chastisers, doing every single lesson in the most creative way possible. They should give good grades yet not grade unjustly. They should give homework, yet should not give homework. They should use various methods, especially the most modern ones. They should be friends to their pupils, yet keep their distance. And all of this is expected to work picture-perfectly on young people when their bodies and minds at the exact same time have a lot to do with becoming adults, finding friends, walking away from trouble, experiencing self-discovery, first love and lovesickness - in the lucky case of them being healthy and belonging to a loving and financially and mentally/emotionally stable family. Do you see how this can't work - and school HAS TO fall short of this skyhigh expectations? Most of the learning done in life is not up to school - it's up to you. Don't blame school that you were to idle to google a thing or ask someone who knows. Just saying. ;)
@@elektra121 That is all a good argument, and it's a lot of pressure of teachers * whispers* pay them more, they deserve it Most of this is the fault of curriculum, as well. No one is going to need to know anything beyond elementary-school math, unless they become a mathematician. However, people are going to need to know how to buy a house, get a job, etc., none of which we're learning. Plus, let kids follow their interests. If a kid has a passion for music, art, theatre, or anything else, and if they don't know their passion, give them time and space to follow it or figure it out. Don't overload them with homework or other courses. I took all academics last year and had a complete mental breakdown by January, whereas I'm taking drama and art this year and it's going great. Anyways, most of this is down to curriculum and school districts faults, and I have a lot of respect teachers.
So in second and third grade of high-school I felt really weird about the fact that EVERYONE was getting crushes but I didn't. And people would try to comfort me saying "Oh I had a relationship in later years too" but when I would aske them when they had their first real crush they would sa "Oh, second grade or so". It got to a point where I felt so excluded that I needed a therapist to get trough it. I mean I liked people fine, I could IMAGINE myself in relatioship and I even had small crushes but then my friends would start talking about sexual stuff and that never even OCCURED to me. One of them asked me if I'm lesbian, and I wish I could've say "Yes, omg, I have a crush on that cute girl from fourth grade" but I didn't. Then we had an ethics class (you could either take ethics or catholic religion in my school. Since I was raised as an agnostic, of course I took ethics) on LGBT issues. And I heard the term "asexual". I thought "OMG that's me! That might just be me!" My understanding of my sexuality changed since, I'm either on a very sex-positive side of ace spectrum or on very low sex drive of alloexual specrtum. Turns out I'm also bi. So if anyone asks I would brobably just say bisexual or, if it's someone more versed in LGBTQA terms I'd say biromantic gray-ace. But that moment of realization, realizing that there isn't something wrong with me, that I'm fine, just different, was such a relief. There were people who would tell me "What are the chances? There is only 1% of ace people in the world!" Well, there is also only 1% of people with congenital heart defects too. What are the chances....oh, wait, wait...I was born with pulmonary stenosis....yeah I have that thing only 1% of people in the world have (actually, only 1% of people with congenital heart defects have what I had so...yeah WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!). Just because something is rare, doesn't mean you're not going to bump into it. My point was, just learning about existence of ace people (we didn't really get deep into it since a heated debate arouse during this ethics class between us on more liberal side and people who are anything but tolerant.) helped me. As far as I know, only two of us from that class fall somewhere within LGBTQA acronym (funny enough, we became close friends during these classe and we both identify as being on ace spectrum). So no, it didn't turn all of us gay or trans or ace. It only helped us who already were LGBTQA understand ourselves better. Ok, this comment is long enough but I just wanted to say that the guy who was by far the loudest in the previously mentioned debate was not actually debating. He was just screaming hatefull things and at one point he refuted mine "so you're saying that kids are better of in orphanage where the don't have ANY kind of parental figure then in loving home that just happens to have two mums?" with "Shut up you woman, you fucking serbian (I'm from Croatia, my grandparents are Serbian, there are tensions between our nations) cunt, you must be a d**ke and f***ot lover, you communist trash!". Oh yeah, I'm sure anyone would agree he had such compelling arguments!
I’m Pan and was also confused about who I liked, my school has no lgbt+ teaching but when my friend identified as trans I looked more into sexuality and soon realized what I was, so glad you found out your sexuality, sending lgbt love ❤️🏳️🌈
I heard that... "If everyone was gay, reproduction would end, and humanity would be over!!" Okay, it might be a little harder for cis gay and lesbian couples to reproduce, but... Here we are, trans and bi people, totally capable of doing so
kuschelfreddy Being gay isn't ever stated directly to be a sin, taking things out of context is what brought all the hate. The Bible goes on saying ”hey don't do this edgyption sex ritual that happens to involve men” and everyone goes ”okay, so men can't fuck other men then.” 👌👌👌 Devils in the detaills, why else would so many people lose their lives in the process?
@@qs-ii1872 Well, it's all about interpretation, I guess. Same goes for other religions and their "Bibles". I'm pretty sure a lot of Muslim LGBT+ people face the same argument. In my opinion this is nothing but dumb. God should be about spreading love and not excluding minorities. But then again, I'm not religious anyways.

last year at my high school we had a pride spirit week in june and it was awesome! A teacher made hundreds of pins that had pride flags, and one said I don’t like gender roles I like cinnamon rolls, etc. also my mom is an EA (education assistant) at an elementary school and one of the kids in grade 7 came out as trans and the school was accepting and then handed out mini pride flags to very classroom :)
my twitter profile picture is just the trans flag and somehow i have not been blocked so i guess i havent been loudly lgbt+ enough for them to view me as a threat. this is a travesty that i must fix

Hey Jamie, would you consider doing a video reacting to Dr Kathleen Stock? She's a philosophy professor (/TERF) at Sussex uni and spearheaded this anti-stonewall campaign amongst academics... there have apparently been soo many complaints made about her but the uni doesn't seem to be paying attention to students concerns at all... Somehow she manages to justify her transphobic comments by describing it as important 'philosophical debate' (as if that excuse would be accepted if she said something like 'well, do black lives /really/ matter?') 😐 Turns out she's going to be teaching a feminism module next year and in all honesty, I'm terrified thinking about the influence she'll end up having on people with all her fear-mongering... Anyway! It'd be awesome to hear what your take is on all of this! (Her twitter handle is DocStockk - proceed with caution!) (Oh, also loving the kimono 👍👍)
When I was 8, almost 9, my younger stepbrother at the time was like, “Do you know what transgender is?”. I said “No. What is it?” He then replied with “It’s when a girl feels like a boy, or a boy feels like a girl.”I was like, “That sounds like me. I’ve always felt more like a boy.” He then said to me “I kind of thought so because you never seemed to be like a girl.” After that, I thought I was ftm for about 3 years. I never told anyone though. After that 3 years, I learned about nonbinary, and now I identify as pangender. The only people that know are my best friend, and people on the internet.

I have taught my son who is 12 by watching your videos with him. I wish they taught these issues in schools. I REALLY feel the only way to educate people and eradicate prejudice is to teach kids early on. It opens up the communication for them if they are feeling these feelings themselves but also hopefully means they grow up to see that we are all equal and no need to hate or fear anyone. I bloody love you Jamie, thanks for helping educate my kids and me :)
At my school you're allowed to get your pronouns changed in the school's system but you might need parental permission (not 100% sure, when I talked about it with the woman who does it my parents were there) and they only have he or she as options. It's progress, but it's not a lot. The main problem relating to LGBTQ people at my school is that students and staff alike have gotten away with blatantly transphobic and homophobic in general behavior.
My school's strange like that to. They talk about being "progressive" there definition being. Racism bad. Then fail to mention anything other than penis in vagina sex, that females can orgasm/have sexual feelings and that not everyone will have sexual feelings. Practically LGBT+ are not real identies. Maybe that's why Australia's called upside down land. Funfact; our government gives so much money to private schools people in public schools have to pay for classroom supplies, course fees, overpriced uniform and okayish but still overpriced lunches. That and constantly plumiting literacy and mathematics rates.
"I'm on a diet so you can't eat that cookie." That has the same logic as telling someone that their sexuality or gender identity because it's against your beliefs.
I researched the topic and I can proudly say I managed to stay a cis-gender heterosexual male, so it isn't that scary. I also didn't turn black when watching videos about systemic racism, but I might have gotten a bit more white from not going outside for all these hours.
Darn our gay and trans agenda didn't work, its almost like lgbtq people being themselves and wanting people know they exist isn't making cis straight people not exist! Seriously tho this comment made me laugh I totally agree with u as a pan trans guy!
Reading these comments make me realise that my school is really healthy . Homework isnt important . Lgbt lessons are twice every week . If your uncomfortable with school then they will email you the work so you can stay at home . The uniforms are unisex . You can listen to music in class as long as you listen when the teacher talks & you use earphones . Teams/houses arent a thing, your house is your tutor instead . If you cant do pe/dance you can choose a class you want to do with another teacher
Hi Jamie, just a thought but would you do a wardrobe tour? I'd love to see what styles you wear and it could be helpful to baby trans in finding their new fashion identity. Massive fan of you and your channel, keep it up bröther! 😊 Ps: dear reader, maybe give this a like if you would wanna see this? Blessed be💙
In middle school in my religious school, me and my friends, a group of lgbtq+ kiddos, had to look up all this stuff together after school at the lunch tables secretly. I put a pride month background in a zoom class and a kid asked if I wasn’t strait. Good question, but the teachers were “disappointed” in him, for even asking. *sigh* Rip religious school.
I was never expected to the lgbt community so when I was still getting crush’s on girls as a 8 year old. Now I’m 15 and find it funny that I had a crush on pastors daughter that was very religious 😬
We lost a student at our high school recently. He committed suicide. He was gay, but not accepted by his family. The students at the high school asked for a LGBTQ speaker to be brought to the school to share stories related to “It gets better”. As you might imagine, it was not allowed at school. Keep the message going Jamie. You are inspiring. 👍🏼

Rayven In Wonderland i understand religion but sexual health should definitely be taught!! Teen pregnancy rates are so much lower in places that do teach this stuff! Many families are completely against talking about sex, whether it be due to their religion or because their family is more conservative. Mine never talks a single word about it for example, i had no clue about any form of contraception until i was taught at school. I really cant express how extremely important it is that people are taught this in schools!!!
@@rayveninwonderland5152 Sexual education reduces rates of teen pregnancy and STDs. And I don't know your thoughts on abortion, but sex education also reduces the amount of abortions and the amount of children put into the foster system. Teens will always have sex. It's better to teach them to be safe than think that not talking about it will prevent them from doing it. Because if you think sheltering teens from learning about sex will do any good, you are naive.

We had a world book day teacher swap where we had a different teacher for about half an hour and they read us some of their favourite book. I was in Year 3 at the time so I was 7, and most of us were past that kind of book (in terms of it was written for a younger age group). However this teacher came to us, and said she'd read us that, especially as it was short and we would be able to finish it. As far as I know, all the other teachers were reading Roald Dahl books and things like that. She asked first if we wanted to share what we thought would happen, and I predicted the basic storyline, and she asked me if I'd read it before. I hadn't, but clearly at that age I had a gaydar. When we read it, the only kids who didn't get it were the ones with loud obnoxious parents who liked to spread their conservative views. What does that tell you about parents?
Nice
I had a guy i my class who came out as trans (mtf) and we were like, "so you're a girl now?" and she just "yeah" and we just looked at her and "okay, so what's your name?" and then we all went to class and that's that. It's that easy folks.

What REAL indoctrination looks like growing up in a very religious home and school: religious class every day, school chapel every week, church every week, bible study every week, bible camp in the holidays, talking about religion often in other classes, constant pressure to be spiritual, constantly talking about it at home and being expected to spend time reading the Bible and praying daily
There's also the other way round: no religious education allowed in schools, plea to the state in school every week, reading hymns to the state in school, don't talk about anything remotely to do with religion openly unless you say it's all bullshit. Learning in primary school that Jesus has never lived, it is all a big fat lie. Don't get caught reading a bible! All fairy-tale and youth books (Anne Frank's diary, for example) are "cleaned" of words hinting to any religious believe. If you go to church, no academic studies for you! Needless to say, it hasn't changed my religion - it rather kindled the interest in it.
I go to a religious catholic school that actually doesnt push beliefs. Everyone is caring, accepting with small light teasing just to annoy. All Teachers respect your beliefs, sexuality ect which means my school is like one of the few schools that allows students who are lgbt, atheists, muslims etcs and don’t discriminate them. Of course we do friday masses every once a month but you dont have to pay attention just donate for the support of blind people and just like sit down and quietly chat with friends. Whats good is that we give blessings like necklaces just for good health which is a different color than the one given to the religious kids.

_When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment._ (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

@@dark_attribute Ireland ! we had a marriage referendum a few years ago for gay marriage and that was when we were taught about the comminity a little bit
Great Awakening,how do you function as a human?The media around them when they were growing up was predominantly straight.Are you an actual child or do you just think like one.
Story time-
I was never taught about the LGBTQ+ community in school, and I wish I was. Here's the scoop: In fifth grade I knew this person who was a girl. I didn't see them until late middle school, and they were a boy. I got so confused and had the mindset of "You can't just BE a boy if you are a girl." But a year later, and lots of researching, and 2 out of 3 of my best friends came out to me as trans, and I totally accept and understand them. School never taught me to accept and understand the LGBTQ+ community.
That made it even more confusing because it took me up until really recently to figure out who *I* was. I finally believe I'm biromantic ace, but I had to spend loads of time trying to figure it out.
So that's why I think, just from personal experience, that schools SHOULD at least teach about it a bit. I had to figure out on my own what everything meant, and THAT was confusing, let me tell you.
Something kinda similar happened to me I was raised homophobic and never believed there was anything else, my friend came out to me and I was confused since I never learned about the community after about half a year I accepted her and the community and then in 2 years i had the ability to find out that I’m pansexual it just shows that when growing up with a homophobic heteronormative society it took a while to figure out who I liked instead of being pushed into the box of being straight with no questions
This is exactly what happened to me. I’m so sorry you had to go through that and that we were so stupidly ignorant to our friends
Hello fellow ace
Same. I have so many regrets related to not learning about lgbtq+ stuff until I found it myself online in middle school. I remember in 2nd grade there were two girls who said they wanted to get married when they grew up, and I remember insisting that they couldn't. Not because I thought it was wrong, but because I had never heard of that happening and so thought they wouldn't be allowed to, and I didn't want them to grow up planning on it only to be disappointed. Even though it was so long ago I still feel so bad about that.
I also had a friend who's ftm and growing up (before he came out) everyone assumed he was a boy because if how he dressed, and any time they did I would vehemently correct them because I thought that I was defending my friends right to be a girl who didn't conform to gender norms. But I was basically doing the opposite of what I thought I was doing. Luckily I stopped when I learned what being trans was on CZcams cause I realized he might be, but I just really hope I never did it in front of him cause that probably have made him feel crappy.
But yeah anyways. If lgbtq+ people had even just been mentioned as existing in my schooling then maybe those things wouldn't have happened. Even as a senior in highschool I've only had one English teacher who talked about queer stuff, and it sucked because she was a truly awful teacher(like absolutely insane. She ended getting fired) so no one wanted to participate, and she also literally tried to make people out themselves in front of the class. Blah
I'm in year 9 and we actually had LGBT related assemblies back in June and some of my friends actually came out, so i think LGBT+ education is wonderful from experience
My school has a GSA club, but that’s it. I wish we learnt about it in health or something.
We only have it if you join a specific club that I personally am in
I wish they did that at my school, I was would’ve thought I was straight if my friend wasn’t trans which made me educate myself about LGBT+ and find out about the different sexualities. If they do that at every school gay, Pan, trans, non-binary, bi, etc. kids wouldn’t think they’re broken and be more accepting of others
I honestly don't know when I would've found out about LGBTQ+ stuff if I wasn't kicked out of 6th form cuz my grades were too bad to continue to year 13. My school had nothing whatsoever, I heard occasionally gossips and jokes but that's the extent of what I knew of LGBTQ+ stuff until I went to college and met people out as LGBTQ because I was finally in an environment open or safe enough for people to be out to others and themselves, only then did I learn and finally discover my sexuality, 2 years later my romantic, 3years later my gender. Big oof. I'm so glad it's finally taught (for reference I'm only early 20s,( I was in the last year before tests between year 12 and 13 mattered), and I didn't know of a single person out as anything in my school before I went to a college)
@@reedsylvier5250 I feel like I just always knew. I guess from the internet? That how I learned most things.
“This is indoctrination” - if you’re so against indoctrination then close private schools and any school which bases its education on Christianity or another religion.
The private school I teach at actually IS based on Christianity. And I teach about gender varieties and how they are natural and have to have the exact same rights each. I teach about nonbinary people and transgender. I include as much diverse religions, POC, sexualities and genders as I'm able (still not enough, I'm afraid) in my lessons. I talk about racism and sexism and ableism and how all of that is engraved in society and has to be changed (and historically has changed somewhat, luckily). And you wanna know why? Because this is what Christ would have done and my religion taught me I should do.
elektra121 I’m really really happy to be reassured that religion does good in this world. At the same time there are so many decisions that effect people’s education and general livelihood because of traditional views based in religion. My public school doesn’t teach even close to the extent you seem to at a private school. It would be amazing to improve the curriculums in both private and public schools but I definitely believe that it will be more difficult in the private religion based schools. Since there is a type of indoctrination in religion (in general not necessarily in the case of every spiritual or religious individual) that excludes certain groups of people.
@@h.a.p8278 Hi! Thank you for your very long answer. You and me come from very different parts of the world, apparently. You see, where I'm coming from, most of the people are Atheists (which I deem a good thing, because it means they have not be forced into any religion and are free to choose one if they so wish). Christians (and the very few people of other religions) were a marginalised group and were discriminated against by the state (not allowed to study, for example) for decades. So they know very well how it feels like to be a minority abd won't come to the s t r a n g e idea to discriminate against other minorities. On the contrary: the first LGB (I don't think they thought much about transgender/intersex people back then) were solely churchly ones - because Jesus told to help people being discriminated against. A lot of music groups (Blues, Punk etc.) were not allowed to perform in public - so only the churches allowed them to play their music. All that exclusion you associate with religion/christianity took place from the side of the (Atheist) state. Church was about being open-minded, include all people (because we are all brothers and sisters), fighting together for equal rights for all - because that is what Jesus would have wanted. You see: this exclusion thing is a thing of who is in power and works in an atheist world as hellish as in countries that deem themselves oh-so-religious (without really giving a shit about the core message of their religion). It's not about religion at all. And that's why I'm so annoyed a lot of Atheists think themselves a huge lot better people, because "they don't buy all that religious bullshit". You see, it's an easy way to feel like a great human being without doing so much as winking your little finger - only because religious people are in your opinion so much below yourself (please note that I don't mean you personally by this, because you seem a rather decent person! It's just that I encounter this mindset all too often.) Conclusion: it's not about religion. It's about which group is in power and is not critical of themself. There are public schools and private schools and religious bound and atheist ones. None of which is any indicator of how good or bad they are. (Also: in my country all private schools has to teach the exact same curriculum of the public schools. You can do more, if you like, though.) What is the case in the US can be completely different in a country of the former East block or in country in Africa or in a South Asian one. Looking down and shaming others while doing nothing yourself does not make you a better person, on the contrary! (Again, I hope you understand the 'you' doesn't mean you personally.) Every one of us has to do their best as a human being, regardless of religion or not.
elektra121 Theres not a single thing I will dispute there! Haha. There’s obviously extremities on both sides and I reckon we’ve both felt the backlash of one side or the other but it’s cool that we can fully agree that looking down on anyone for your beliefs or non-beliefs shouldn’t be accepted or encouraged and definitely shouldn’t be taught (in schools or at home).
@@h.a.p8278 Amen. :D
Amazingly, exposure to people who are trans HAS caused me to question my gender identity!
... I'm now _not only_ 100% positive that I'm still cis, I'm also:
• consciously aware of this for the first time;
• appreciative of my body in ways I'd never thought to consider;
• grateful for the privilege this has granted throughout my life.
Because creators like Jamie are willing to share their stories in such depth, I've come to see things I never would have otherwise, and it's made me feel:
• saddened that there's more intolerance and injustice out there than I can fathom;
• determined not to contribute to anyone's sense of these, even by ignorance;
• hopeful that this exposure will, in time, lead society to treat all people as simply people.
TL;DR Thanks to the wonders of CZcams, I've learned so much about the experiences of people who are different from me; in the process I've become better acquainted with myself. 🏳️🌈🍍

As a bisexual man I wish I was taught these things when I was in primary school.
It would have helped me a lot.
As a bisexual girl I wish I was taught about this too
I was so obviously attracted to girls and boys growing up but chose to basically ignore being attracted to girls because I kid you not:
I didn't know being LGBT was a _thing_ until I was 12
It's hard man... It's hard.
But at least I know now!
@@mysticknight1494 I forgotten that I wrote this.
I didn't know much about it as a child either. I wish the adults at the time did teach us about these things, but I learnt myself over time.
I remeber I don’t have lgbt education exactly in the form of lessons. But my school do advocate for equality and they have posters on the walls explains being trans (simply but enough for someone to get the general idea) and posters explaining sexuality. Without those things I would never of known who I was and I would be in a confused sad state now. The fact that their is an lgbt club at my school to make people feel welcomed and safe also makes everything feel like it’s ok. And that’s what more schools need. Just a place to make lgbt students feel like the ya rent sinners and what the are feeling is ok, because everywhere around them, at home and even online, they are told that it’s not.
my school is in the middle East so saying anything about lgbtq that isn't negative is forbidden. Really pisses me off
Thankfully I had the internet to teach me since school didn’t

Now I gotta do this
Me: *throughout my life dressed and wanted to be identified as male*
Also me: Nah I'm not trans.
*Future me is laughing at past me*
I relate. I'm male, but have always acted very feminine and tend to wear a lot of female blouses, hoodies and jeans etc, as a teenager i always wore makeup and painted my nails. Most of my role models and idols are female too, masculinity just doesn't feel as natural to me.
Most my friends joke that i'm probably transgender and i'm always just like "ha yeah... Probably..." 😅
Violence Is Fun I hope you figure that out.

At my old school sometimes the principal would interrupt class to tell us Bible stories. She also grabbed my wrist and yelled at me even when I told her to stop and didn’t punish a girl at all for trying to kill me.
In computer class we had a teacher who let us play bible games and watched christian propaganda (I don’t know how else I should call it) with us
@@basicallystevenuniverse511 Whoa whoa whoa, hold on a moment. Someone tried to kill you?!?!
@@billystokes3917 unfortunately it happens at school all the time both religions indoctrinating children and attacks on kids... kids are cruel and sometimes they go way too far
If I was actually taught about a sexuality at school I wouldn’t have suffered as much mentally thinking I was broken.
Yeah I feel like I would have been a lot happier knowing that there wasn't something wrong with me. I always just assumed I was weird or that I was just somehow a broken person and it hurt me a lot growing up.
Same. As an aroace, it always hurt me when I saw others having crushes and thinking others were cute when I just couldn’t feel anything for others, no matter how hard I tried. Really made me think there was something wrong and broken inside of me, and that I would never be able to have any actual friends or that I would always be left behind. Knowing that I’m aroace has made me so much more confident in myself, and able to connect better with others.
I'm Ace, from comments from people, i was broken, i was odd. I was almost 20 (I'm 32 now) when i found out that there were others like me, that i wasn't 'broken'. I'm all for schools learning more about this subject.
congrats
Very true, I’m in my 30’s and only realized a few years ago that ace is a thing and I am that thing ;)
Oof I realised I'm ace when I was 14, and I'm so damn happy about it cuz I was so scared I had to marry a man and have sex with him... This really helped me be less scared of relationships and the future
Same. I have the thing of being aromantic as well and I just thought I was??? Screwed up, malfunctioning, or broken. I remember lying about crushes and feeling forced to pretend to entertain feelings towards the people who liked me. I just around out i was aro ace (also trans) at 15 and I wish so much that I was able to find out sooner.
I'm currently 17, and a few years ago I thought I was ace! Despite now realising that I'm not ace (I now identify as queer) I will forever be grateful that I found out about asexuality when I was younger. I remember the realisation I felt when I learned what the word meant, and it was kind blowing when I realised it was a possibility. If I had been taught about this earlier on, I know I would've felt a lot less alienated and insecure about it!
The day my class learned about the word gay (the year 2 teacher was asked what it meant, she didnt explain further than the definition) kids started using it as an insult. This is why LGBTQ+ education is needed
My point is always this. People teach different religious beliefs in schools yet they can't just teach LGBT?
Most schools in my country only teach about Christianity sadly
And religion isn't confusing for kids? If anything, it's *the lack* of LGBT education that confuses them. A lot of LGBT children don't know that they are perfectly fine and live a life of anxiety and fear, which impacts their mental health. I know something about it, that's how my life looked like.
My school only taught Christianity. But I never believed it, and neither did many others.
:)
@@naarelservs9713 Yes, it is confusing. Children should be only taught science and history until they are actually able to understand these controversial phenomena.
*Here's a description of what it's like in schools where there is strong LGBT+ education:*
In Canberra, the capital of Australia (population 430,000), it's compulsory for high schoolers in government-run schools to learn about LGBT+ stuff as part of health classes. This includes the difference between sex, gender, and sexuality, as well as different sexualities (and how they're all fine!) and that gender is a spectrum (the model we were taught with had two lines between male and female, with agender and genderfluid as midpoints). Both my high school and senior high school had very proud LGBT+ and Allies clubs run by enthusiastic teachers, and there were lots of posters in hallways and classrooms saying things like 'Trans rights are human rights' and advertising helplines, including ones for LGBT+ people. Someone many years ago had even hung a huge rainbow flag along the ceiling of the student foyer, and no one had taken it down. Hundreds of students would pass under it every day, and it was never a big deal because we had been taught not to hate. I remember one day someone opened a rainbow umbrella in the corridor and several trans kids went to stand under it, proudly taking in the 'gay bad luck'. This sort of pride and acceptance was totally normal so I was legitimately surprised to learn most schools aren't like this.
Having only been to these kinds of schools, I can't compare much, but I will say there were lots of openly gender non-conforming and questioning kids and everyone I saw (including the teachers) was supportive. They had so much pride and self-confidence. And there was still a majority of straight cis people, the difference was that they had learned compassion and respect.
Also our local government is pretty great, in the lead-up to the 2017 Marriage Referendum it made a bunch of rainbow buses!
That sounds wonderful :,>
I've only seen this type of attitude from the community, school and government towards LGBTQ+ in movies or on the internet. It sounds like a wonderful dream.
I mean, I could hand you a very long list of reasons why there is no good state government in Australia. For example how many people support the National's bill to restrict language and define trans people out of legislative protections?
But otherwise, yea.
Honestly Australian schools are pretty lit for lgbtqia+ kids. Have been for a while now.
When I was in highschool (some 10+ years ago now) it wasn't *great*, but the support for us was still there and it was pretty solid. It was really only other students that ever caused problems.
Like I got expelled in highschool for getting threatened by a bunch of dudes with knives because I kept getting between them and the less physically capable GSRM kids when they wanted to go gay bashing.
But the school counselor ended up quitting over it because he'd worked really, really hard to keep me alive, enrolled and attending, along with a couple of my friends around the same time.
Like if we were having gender or sexuality related issues the counselor actually knew what to say and how to help us, and he was incredibly warm and accepting.
Even the pastoral care officers (basically counselors but religious) were super good with us.
When I die, I'm going to force God to make me an Australian born in Canberra in my next life, even though I'm an atheist.
Yeah my school is very similar and I feel really lucky to be in a place like that
That sounds amazing! My high school (in America) was incredibly homophobic, if you were anything other than straight you were considered “gross”
I hate how they use the word "questioning" Questioning things is good. Undermining important progress is not!
If you’re questioning something you _don’t_ block the people you’re questioning. From speech, and especially not seeing your “questions.”
Stupid compounds on stupid, to create a feedback loop.
Truth.
Honestly I don't even mind the occasional "okay gays this seems odd or unlikely" type of questioning. But there's a big difference between "I'm not taking you at face value" and "It doesn't matter what you say, I oppose it on a personal moral note."
@@Jane-oz7pp I completely agree.
Questioning an outrageous increase in people identifying as trans in gen z is absolutely valid. Trans = 0.4% of the population, until Gen z. It is off the charts. It is imperative we understand what is driving this number up. It makes no sense.
@@ginaweith9475 Is it the tidepods? We told you not to eat those, Gina! Now look at yourself, you're an idiot who can't fathom that being more accepting of a group has less people of that group hiding in the closet. Society has failed you, but someone out there will pray for you :'(
I think LGBT+ education is so important in this day and age. There is too much hate, fear and non-acceptance of our LGBT+ friends. I think it will help to change that. It's so sad that there are people who would block a chance to understand and learn about the LGBT+ community. Especially the kids out there who are struggling to understand themselves. BTW, Kimonos are amazing!
💙 Absolutely!
JerseyGirl0081 Agreed 100%!! 💖
My new provincial government put our sex ed standards back to the '90s and set up a snitch line for parents to call if their children snitched that a teacher was teaching the contemporary model. Luckily the supreme court said that constitutionally any school could choose to follow the 2015 model and that the provincial government couldn't force them to teach the antiquated one, but any school can still force backwards teaching on their students as long as the teacher desires to do so.
Hasn't this education been shown to be doing the opposite and making people less accepting? Maybe we're going to far with something
@@eonstar really? Is there like any statistics you can show because that sounds intersting
One day while I was sorting books for a kindergarten class, I found a book that the title or cover art interested me (forgot which bc i forgot what both were), so I started reading it.
It was about a little boy who just wanted to play with dolls, and I think pretty much everyone except his grandma didn’t accept that. His grandma told him it’s okay to want to play with dolls and other “girly” stuff, and I think at the end even got him a brand new doll. It just warmed my heart to read that. I wish we had more books like that in classrooms.
I wish we had books like this.
I’m so late to this video. Do you remember the title of the book? I have 2 kids under 5 & we love to read.

"You're identity is against my beliefs!"
"How dare you eat that cake, I'm on a diet!"
This is tied for the best, simple, explanation I have seen.
But I’m Ace. Eating cake is my entire personality.
Last year an entire department in my Highschool agreed that they would ask for student’s pronouns when they did their whole “get to know me” thing on the first day of class. And at least the teachers I had asked me whether they wanted to straight up tell the whole class that I use they/them pronouns, or if I wanted them to just casually use them and hope others catch on, and I appreciated that so much cuz that school tends to have transphobic and especially enbyphobic students A LOT unfortunately
I don’t get the whole idea of people thinking that being lgbt is a choice 🙄
Yeah, why would people think that when they did not choose to be straight? You can't choose who you fall in love with, or who you are attracted to, or what gender you are. I certainly did not choose to be bi. There's never been a moment that I sat down and decided "You know, I'm gonna be bi this year, that'll be fun."
W B if i could choose my sexuality I would definitely choose to be bi being gay has very limited dating options
If I could choose my gender before I was born I would be so much happier

I was surrounded by straight people during my formative years and guess what, it didn't mold me. I was very confused only because there was no one whom I could ask about it. How wonderful it would have been for me to have someone make it less stressful, less mysterious. Hanging around straight people doesn't make you straight. Hanging around gay people can't make you gay either. You are what you are. What's mysterious to me is how straight people came up with the idea that sexuality can be changed one bit.
Actually, for a very tiny fraction of people you can change your sexuality. It just takes a lot of time and telling yourself you are something you really aren't... I know it from experience.
@@michaelam9738 That must be a VERY miniscule amount, ages of self touture, and basically the literal feeling of lying to yourself.
@@fredericksaxton9782 I know two, one changing because of a very negative experience, but that I don't count because it really wasn't voluntary, and the other one just... decided she's gonna be a lesbian? It's a long story, but even her damn doctor doesn't get it. She tried to explain it to me but from what I understood it involved pulling a Pavlov on herself and faking it till she made it. Apparently she doesn't think she can "go back straight" now, but she's happy with her lil stunt...
Honestly from all the other things she pulled off in her life (Including visibly changing her natural hair colour over the course of a month, using what she described as "Just a little diet and some self-convincing". She cut off the old colour, grew the new one out long, kept it for a few years and then just let it fade back to what it was before...) I'm pretty sure she is some other breed of human, so probably doesn't even apply to the rest of the species...
But still, the ability to do that is about as changeable in a person as them being gay, so again, it is a matter of being born that way...
However, I think sexuality can be changed, just like nearly everything. What we like is in our brain, so poking the right clumps o' cells the right way could change it in a person, just like it can change other deeply engrained things, but unless done completely voluntarily that is about as ethical as chemical sterilisation, and before humanity can manipulate a brain for any purpose that way we'll either be colonising a second solar system, or most likely extinct...
Of course, even if that is true, it does not give anyone the right to go spew about changing sexuality, even if that technology was available, and certainly not now.
So no, niether Jesus, emotional torture or an electric chair can turn your son straight, Bethany.
@@Victor_Graves Well outside of like, getting a tan, no, don't know where you got that from... I mean, unless you got your body to produce different amounts of melanin somehow? Then maybe? But pretty sure there's no way to really do that right now.
@@Victor_Graves I know. There is a way to change anything with sufficient technology... If you can figure out what neurons control sexuality and manipulate them precisely enough to change it, you can change sexuality... If you can figure out how to manipulate the body to produce less or more melanin, you can have it do that. As far as I know, that might be possible one day, but right now it's sci-fi.

i feel like there are so many things that schools are failing to teach kids today, lgbt+ history/knowledge included. kids like me and my older siblings who have graduated, are wholly unequipped to be real life adults, because schools only taught us things they wanted to teach us, which was largely stuff that would get us into college in order to study STEM. schools aren't teaching proper arts, aren't teaching us things about our society, our culture(s), aren't teaching us real life skills like taxes and basic sewing/repair skills and first aid and other things that we need to know in order to live day-to-day.
hats off to teachers - you guys spend your days teaching the next generation, hoping to create a better tomorrow, and that's admirable. but the education system as a whole needs to be reformed. college and STEM aren't the only things that exist, people also need to learn how to be people.
Ha at least your school teaches stem in yr 9 we are still being taught about the very complex subject of the water cycle and atoms.
As a teacher, I hear complaints about how totally awful schools are like weekly. And, you know what? I (mostly) disagree. People are expecting schools to be places of learning in basic reading/writing/calculating skills, theoretical knowledge and practical competences in diverse sciences, multiple languages, music, arts, history, society/cultures, economics, religion, philosophy, current and historical politics, computer sciences and programming, moreover practical life skills like cooking, housekeeping, driving, "doing taxes", how to fill out various forms, how to vote, how to plan your learning, how to do research, first aid, parenting, sexology, healthy eating, healthy lifestyle, general social competences like obeying rules, civility and etiquette. Then school should be a safe space, a space where kids get physical exercise, a space where they are under constant supervison yet as free as possible, a space where they get to know 'real life', a space where kids can spend their afternoon with 'sensible activities'. School buildings are expected to be spacious, accessible, well equipped and beautiful. And all of this with the least amount of money humanly possible (and even then it is deemed to be "too much"). Teachers are expected to be experts in every tiny detail of their subjects, role models in every regard, model citizens, surrogate parents, mentors, social workers, chastisers, doing every single lesson in the most creative way possible. They should give good grades yet not grade unjustly. They should give homework, yet should not give homework. They should use various methods, especially the most modern ones. They should be friends to their pupils, yet keep their distance. And all of this is expected to work picture-perfectly on young people when their bodies and minds at the exact same time have a lot to do with becoming adults, finding friends, walking away from trouble, experiencing self-discovery, first love and lovesickness - in the lucky case of them being healthy and belonging to a loving and financially and mentally/emotionally stable family. Do you see how this can't work - and school HAS TO fall short of this skyhigh expectations? Most of the learning done in life is not up to school - it's up to you. Don't blame school that you were to idle to google a thing or ask someone who knows. Just saying. ;)
@@elektra121 That is all a good argument, and it's a lot of pressure of teachers * whispers* pay them more, they deserve it
Most of this is the fault of curriculum, as well. No one is going to need to know anything beyond elementary-school math, unless they become a mathematician. However, people are going to need to know how to buy a house, get a job, etc., none of which we're learning.
Plus, let kids follow their interests. If a kid has a passion for music, art, theatre, or anything else, and if they don't know their passion, give them time and space to follow it or figure it out. Don't overload them with homework or other courses. I took all academics last year and had a complete mental breakdown by January, whereas I'm taking drama and art this year and it's going great.
Anyways, most of this is down to curriculum and school districts faults, and I have a lot of respect teachers.

Speak for yourself
@@hyalophora I said Yet. XD
So in second and third grade of high-school I felt really weird about the fact that EVERYONE was getting crushes but I didn't. And people would try to comfort me saying "Oh I had a relationship in later years too" but when I would aske them when they had their first real crush they would sa "Oh, second grade or so". It got to a point where I felt so excluded that I needed a therapist to get trough it.
I mean I liked people fine, I could IMAGINE myself in relatioship and I even had small crushes but then my friends would start talking about sexual stuff and that never even OCCURED to me. One of them asked me if I'm lesbian, and I wish I could've say "Yes, omg, I have a crush on that cute girl from fourth grade" but I didn't.
Then we had an ethics class (you could either take ethics or catholic religion in my school. Since I was raised as an agnostic, of course I took ethics) on LGBT issues. And I heard the term "asexual". I thought "OMG that's me! That might just be me!"
My understanding of my sexuality changed since, I'm either on a very sex-positive side of ace spectrum or on very low sex drive of alloexual specrtum. Turns out I'm also bi. So if anyone asks I would brobably just say bisexual or, if it's someone more versed in LGBTQA terms I'd say biromantic gray-ace. But that moment of realization, realizing that there isn't something wrong with me, that I'm fine, just different, was such a relief.
There were people who would tell me "What are the chances? There is only 1% of ace people in the world!" Well, there is also only 1% of people with congenital heart defects too. What are the chances....oh, wait, wait...I was born with pulmonary stenosis....yeah I have that thing only 1% of people in the world have (actually, only 1% of people with congenital heart defects have what I had so...yeah WHAT ARE THE CHANCES!). Just because something is rare, doesn't mean you're not going to bump into it.
My point was, just learning about existence of ace people (we didn't really get deep into it since a heated debate arouse during this ethics class between us on more liberal side and people who are anything but tolerant.) helped me. As far as I know, only two of us from that class fall somewhere within LGBTQA acronym (funny enough, we became close friends during these classe and we both identify as being on ace spectrum). So no, it didn't turn all of us gay or trans or ace. It only helped us who already were LGBTQA understand ourselves better.
Ok, this comment is long enough but I just wanted to say that the guy who was by far the loudest in the previously mentioned debate was not actually debating. He was just screaming hatefull things and at one point he refuted mine "so you're saying that kids are better of in orphanage where the don't have ANY kind of parental figure then in loving home that just happens to have two mums?" with "Shut up you woman, you fucking serbian (I'm from Croatia, my grandparents are Serbian, there are tensions between our nations) cunt, you must be a d**ke and f***ot lover, you communist trash!". Oh yeah, I'm sure anyone would agree he had such compelling arguments!
A fellow ace! I remember when I finally learned what being ace was and feeling happy that there wasn’t something wrong with me too.
Let's get our cake and eat it too 🍰🍰🍰
I'm also Ace bi-romantic, it's so wonderful to see some other people like me in the comments!
I’m Pan and was also confused about who I liked, my school has no lgbt+ teaching but when my friend identified as trans I looked more into sexuality and soon realized what I was, so glad you found out your sexuality, sending lgbt love ❤️🏳️🌈
Baby Asexual Panromatic here. Glad you found the club.
Even if it DID make kids LGBTQ, why is that such a bad thing?
I heard that... "If everyone was gay, reproduction would end, and humanity would be over!!" Okay, it might be a little harder for cis gay and lesbian couples to reproduce, but... Here we are, trans and bi people, totally capable of doing so
kuschelfreddy
Being gay isn't ever stated directly to be a sin, taking things out of context is what brought all the hate.
The Bible goes on saying ”hey don't do this edgyption sex ritual that happens to involve men” and everyone goes ”okay, so men can't fuck other men then.”
👌👌👌
Devils in the detaills, why else would so many people lose their lives in the process?
@@qs-ii1872 Well, it's all about interpretation, I guess. Same goes for other religions and their "Bibles". I'm pretty sure a lot of Muslim LGBT+ people face the same argument.
In my opinion this is nothing but dumb. God should be about spreading love and not excluding minorities. But then again, I'm not religious anyways.
"Because if my kids are gay or trans, I won't get grandbabies!!!!"

My biology teacher is amazing! The first school day after the Nashville declaration, he spent his whole lesson ranting about it and lecturing us about accepting the LGBTQ community. There was a pride flag hanging in the school for that whole day.
Just wanted to share this with you guys bye
When my dad was a kid, he lived on a farm and they had two roosters that were gay.
My friend her parents bred Norwich terriers, they had a lesbian dog couple that would not breed, they always told every chance they got about their lesbian dogs! Lol! I m sure the dogs were NOT indoctrinated!
@@gazepskotzs4 Haha, that's kind of epic! If I had lesbian dogs, I would sure as hell tell it to everyone!
@@squidny8920 lol, ikr, the gay roosters made my day!Never heard of that, gay sheep are more common i believe.
What i love about the dog thing is that most breeders only want to keep dogs that produce. They did not, happiness for their dogs was the most important for those people..
@@gazepskotzs4 I'm so glad that made your day!!! I had no idea that it is more common for sheep, that is so cool! Yeah! I'm so glad the dogs were able to be happy!
last year at my high school we had a pride spirit week in june and it was awesome! A teacher made hundreds of pins that had pride flags, and one said I don’t like gender roles I like cinnamon rolls, etc. also my mom is an EA (education assistant) at an elementary school and one of the kids in grade 7 came out as trans and the school was accepting and then handed out mini pride flags to very classroom :)
I go to a school where they have amazing lgbt education. My sexuality was acknowledged, I’m pansexual and that’s super rare for me.
I'm so happy to hear that your school is like that, I wish it were more common.
Wow 😀! I hope that more school are that way in rhe future!
Your school deserves a medal

my twitter profile picture is just the trans flag and somehow i have not been blocked so i guess i havent been loudly lgbt+ enough for them to view me as a threat. this is a travesty that i must fix

Super religious parents: HOW DARE YOU INDOCTRINATE OUR KIDS THAT’S NEVER OKAY. Who is gonna tell them guys????
It makes me so sad and frustrated! People have expected intolerance from me, because I'm religious. I can't speak for the Christian Bible, but the Hebrew Bible is very accepting, and repeatedly encourages living authentically! And explaining misused verses is a thing I do on my channel.
I wish intolerant people would stop hiding behind the Bible!
Okay, rant over.

That priests argument is really disgusting. Either he gets to decide how a child gets to live their life and self identify or what, he denies them an education? How can they not see that this is a human rights issue, not some secret agenda to corrupt youth. Wtf would be the point of corrupting youth anyway, where as anyone can see the value in protecting and furthering human rights.
As always I love your video and respect your way of always staying fair and logical while also being funny and entertaining.
Hey Jamie, would you consider doing a video reacting to Dr Kathleen Stock? She's a philosophy professor (/TERF) at Sussex uni and spearheaded this anti-stonewall campaign amongst academics... there have apparently been soo many complaints made about her but the uni doesn't seem to be paying attention to students concerns at all... Somehow she manages to justify her transphobic comments by describing it as important 'philosophical debate' (as if that excuse would be accepted if she said something like 'well, do black lives /really/ matter?') 😐 Turns out she's going to be teaching a feminism module next year and in all honesty, I'm terrified thinking about the influence she'll end up having on people with all her fear-mongering... Anyway! It'd be awesome to hear what your take is on all of this! (Her twitter handle is DocStockk - proceed with caution!)

Jamie I love you and that is literally me.
When I was 8, almost 9, my younger stepbrother at the time was like, “Do you know what transgender is?”. I said “No. What is it?” He then replied with “It’s when a girl feels like a boy, or a boy feels like a girl.”I was like, “That sounds like me. I’ve always felt more like a boy.” He then said to me “I kind of thought so because you never seemed to be like a girl.” After that, I thought I was ftm for about 3 years. I never told anyone though. After that 3 years, I learned about nonbinary, and now I identify as pangender. The only people that know are my best friend, and people on the internet.
That's wild. That young and he both knew about it and caught onto the fact you weren't cis.
As a primary school teacher, I can confirm that reading a book about penguins and then having several small children adamantly insist they are in fact penguins is a legitament Thing That Happens.

I have taught my son who is 12 by watching your videos with him. I wish they taught these issues in schools. I REALLY feel the only way to educate people and eradicate prejudice is to teach kids early on. It opens up the communication for them if they are feeling these feelings themselves but also hopefully means they grow up to see that we are all equal and no need to hate or fear anyone. I bloody love you Jamie, thanks for helping educate my kids and me :)

Damn it. Are they close to figuring out the Ace agenda as well? I’m a baby Ace. I’m not ready to invade Denmark yet.
At my school you're allowed to get your pronouns changed in the school's system but you might need parental permission (not 100% sure, when I talked about it with the woman who does it my parents were there) and they only have he or she as options. It's progress, but it's not a lot.
The main problem relating to LGBTQ people at my school is that students and staff alike have gotten away with blatantly transphobic and homophobic in general behavior.
To the first part: Baby steps
To the second part: wtf
My school's strange like that to. They talk about being "progressive" there definition being. Racism bad. Then fail to mention anything other than penis in vagina sex, that females can orgasm/have sexual feelings and that not everyone will have sexual feelings. Practically LGBT+ are not real identies. Maybe that's why Australia's called upside down land.

My school just has a pride flag and it's so amazing. They also have a LGBT+ group to talk! I just love when they whip out the pride flag! 😂
Exactly the same
I researched the topic and I can proudly say I managed to stay a cis-gender heterosexual male, so it isn't that scary.
I also didn't turn black when watching videos about systemic racism, but I might have gotten a bit more white from not going outside for all these hours.
Darn our gay and trans agenda didn't work, its almost like lgbtq people being themselves and wanting people know they exist isn't making cis straight people not exist! Seriously tho this comment made me laugh I totally agree with u as a pan trans guy!
Reading these comments make me realise that my school is really healthy
. Homework isnt important
. Lgbt lessons are twice every week
. If your uncomfortable with school then they will email you the work so you can stay at home
. The uniforms are unisex
. You can listen to music in class as long as you listen when the teacher talks & you use earphones
. Teams/houses arent a thing, your house is your tutor instead
. If you cant do pe/dance you can choose a class you want to do with another teacher
They haven't blocked me but I don't know how because my username is bisexual Hufflepuff

i've learnt about mitochondrias at school and now i am the powerhouse of the cell
I believe lgbtq+ needs to be taught, it will either help them get to understand who they are, or help them understand others.
In middle school in my religious school, me and my friends, a group of lgbtq+ kiddos, had to look up all this stuff together after school at the lunch tables secretly. I put a pride month background in a zoom class and a kid asked if I wasn’t strait. Good question, but the teachers were “disappointed” in him, for even asking. *sigh* Rip religious school.
Ah yes... learning knowing gay people exist will totally turn you kids gay
Just like learning about black history will totally turn your kids black-
I was never expected to the lgbt community so when I was still getting crush’s on girls as a 8 year old. Now I’m 15 and find it funny that I had a crush on pastors daughter that was very religious 😬
I once played videogames now I’m italian and eat nothing but mushrooms
Them: Teaching LGBT education in schools is INDOCTRINATION!!!!
Also them: Teach my religion in schools!!!!
We lost a student at our high school recently. He committed suicide. He was gay, but not accepted by his family. The students at the high school asked for a LGBTQ speaker to be brought to the school to share stories related to “It gets better”. As you might imagine, it was not allowed at school.
Keep the message going Jamie. You are inspiring. 👍🏼
I love your channel. Lgbtq+ is a part of history and our society therefore it should be taught in school.
