BBC lockdown home-schooling programme tells 9-year-olds there are 'over 100 genders' and shows kids talking to adults about 'bi-gender', 'genderqueer' and 'pansexual' identities

The film, 'Identity - Understanding Sexual and Gender Identities', is being offered on the corporation's website as part of its relationships and sex education package. It comes despite Government guidance published last year which advised schools to exercise caution when teaching children about gender issues. The programme, which features children asking adults about sexuality and gender on behalf of their peers, suggests the different identities include 'bi-gender', 'gender-****' and 'pansexual'.

    Old news bud. Interestingly though it is now considered a hate crime to say there are only 2 genders.

    I think it is important that children are taught that there are more than 2.

    However, to go into this level of detail is wrong, imho.

    The Mail struggles with the concept that there isn't a Master Race :)

    PS. Yes, that is a hate crime.

    @Essexphil there are 2 biological genders, 3 if you count hermaphrodites. To say anything else is a hate crime, stupid but true.

    @Allan23 people are being killed for acts of blasphemy, lucky the poster said it about the Catholic god isn't it?

    Firstly, "biological gender" is not the same as gender. What you are referring to is Birth Sex-which is a totally different thing.

    Let me be clear. My youngest was born Miss Lauren G, and is now Mr Samuel G. He/she identifies as non-binary, and as pansexual. He/she is legally a man, although he/she has the appearance of a female, while he/she awaits certain gender reassignment surgery, which takes many years.

    You appear to want to deny the life choices of thousands of people.

    The legal position is abundantly clear. To quote the leading legal authority (and indeed the Attorney General during the passing of the Equality Act) "Gender is a spectrum."

    If you believe denying the rights of people to choose their gender is not a hate crime, and not contrary to the Equality Act, then I recommend you take legal advice.
