"We" weren't consulted, because "we" mostly aren't involved in this! It's emerged from a younger, maybe freer, generation, whose gender issues the older generation find difficult to understand. If we expand our minds a bit, there must be lots of things the older generation don't understand - hasn't that always been the case?
The LGBTQ society has jumped on the PC bandwagon and demanded a place in society and their demands are being heard simply because we've become so politically correct - human rights; anti-discrimination etc.
It's a situation that has had a profound affect on my family and I've tried very hard to understand - and failed! I feel strongly that schools should NOT discuss LGBTQ options and school-age children should not be permitted to make such huge decisions.
At the end of the day...........I am wholly heterosexual, but my life is not defined by my gender...............
How much does gender matter?
