No wonder kids are so screwed up, the parents are kids themselves and would rather indulge their kids than act like an adult and say 'no'. These are the generation who were never refused anything by their parents or allowed to fail or be upset by anything.All she talks about is 'hurty feelings' of child not teaching them difficult things. Parenting is about taking difficult decisions and being the adult, not giving in to a child who is not old enough be to take responsibility. That's a parent's job, but they all want to be friends and opt out of parenting.
Well at least they aren’t sticking knives in each other or shooting up schools because they feel they can’t talk about their “hurty feelings” with their own parents.
Well said Rod. People who over empathise can be very dangerous especially to children. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Sadly they don't realise until the damage is done.
If her son said he was a dog would she feed him dog food and tell him to sleep outside during the night. That woman is why we are having the problems in this world they need serious mental help not telling them that they are transgender. If a man is a transgender woman he is not a woman biology tells us that he is still a man who can never give birth to a baby
More deluded behaviour from Ashley, I feel bad for her kids. Well said Rod, totally agree. You can show empathy to your child without lying or confirming they're gender issues which aren't true.
Indeed. Her argument that it's simply 'polite' to use someone's "preferred pronouns" if their "gender identity" doesn't correlate to their sex is weak and vacuous. It isn't 'polite' to lie to someone in order to affirm their delusions, nor is it polite on their part to expect/demand others to lie and deny reality. Would she suggest it's simply the polite thing to do to lie to someone with body dysmorphia - say anorexia - in order to affirm their delusions? I highly doubt it. She's a very simple minded woman.
I myself judge these people on who/what they don't actively support, not who/what they do support. Yours is a good example of who they don't support: actual (deserving) woman.
this woman is clearly on the woke bandwagon. Trying to make an impact and to readily go along with all that is woke. This trend/fashion.fed, whatever you want to call it is MORE than dangerous and in my opinion this woman would more than likely encourage her son to have this dysphoria so that she could then get right into the thick of this woke/trans trash and then boast openly about it just to satisfy her own ego. You are the mum to this little lad, so take the reigns of his precious little life and deny yourself this very dangerous and family destroying woke nonsense. YOU CAN NEVER BE WOKE ENOUGH and this is how Stonewall plays every single last one of you. The organisation hell-bent ruining our already fragile societies. ps If this offends you, tough shit and grow up.
I know what my Mother would have said and done to me in the 1960's when I was a kid If I'd come out with that nonsense, she was left handed and my right ear would have been very red and very thick for days. Happy times gone forever sadly...
This is the reason society now has turned to shite....you can't even discipline your own kids for Christ sake 😂 My mother did exactly the same and if that didn't work it was my dad's turn and he used to hurt....still have more respect and love for them than what Ashley will probably get off her spoilt little bratts 😂
What children need are good boundaries with no politics. Rod is correct. My children have turned out well and mentally stable, and I monitored the schools and made clear that they are only too educated English, Maths and "No to sex education"
@@sallywright8065 She is a kid herself, with opinions but no knowledge. If she spent as much time on reading fact based material as she is on looking bimbo like, people around her would be better off for it. Horrid is a hyperbole and it means undesired all around.
How is it respecting your child when you stand by and watch them potentially destroy their lives over an ideology they are ill-equipped to understand? That's not a parent showing respect. It's a parent abandoning the responsibility they have to protect their child.
Ashley needs to learn how to be a proper parent, and be prepared to make adult and honest boundaries. Not to indulge her child with unhealthy and unreal fantasies.
As a child I wanted to be the Lone Ranger,later I wanted to be Batman but then I grew up into adulthood. Now the fashion,if you are a boy,is to be a girl.or identify as a cat etc. There used to be hospitals for people who genuinely believed they were napoleon or Jesus,these people were a danger to themselves and needed psychiatric help,maybe we should consider reopening them for these deluded people.
How do you do that? Compulsory hip-hop listening? Compulsory basketball? Discouragement of learning anything at school, perhaps? Fortunately, not all black people are all that "black."
Has this sorry excuse of a WOMAN really thought about this. Do a bit of Research. John Money Alfred Kinsey & Harry Benjamin. This is where Gender ideology started!!
Sometimes weather you like it or not you have to be cruel to be kind indulging someone's delusion is not helping them and won't help them in the long run
As far as I am concerned the world has gone stark raving mad. Rod Liddle restores some sanity. The other day my 10 year old granddaughter informed me that boys can wear skirts to school and can change their names. Also, as it is a COE school, the Our Father is declared to be offensive, so it's now Our Lord. I advised my daughter to home school her.
Rod is right there is no debate. When times change for the worse and truth becomes offensive we have a problem. The simpleton is the perfect example of the feelings before reality misguided sympathy which allow it to prosper. Literally breeding a small group of people who feel it is appropriate for their imaginary world to be forced onto someone else in the name of compassion. We are having the same issue with the WEF at the moment..
It’s just another thing for teenagers to protect about in rebellion stage. I guess better than drugs and so on. But I don’t understand why adults must be forced to play in this game. Kids who has real problem with gender are small percentage, but if you look now there are 3-4 in one class which impossible. It’s turned into fashion.
If Ashley was actually faced with that situation and her son came to her and told he wanted to be a girl, would she really find it that easy to accept??
Is Ashley's son still going to believe in Father Xmas when he's 16 years old, because she didn't want to tell him the truth? 'No darling; your class-mates are wrong; of course there's a Tooth Fairy'. What a fool she is!
Well done Rod.do agree and I for one am so fed up with the insanity of it all. I retired from teaching ten months ago and I know I would never have lasted.I just wouldn't have lasted and I wouldn't have been able to keep my mouth shut at training days when I just know I would have been baited.
This whole subject has got totally out of hand. A child will never say, “I don’t identify….” This is purely adult language that has been foisted on young people. I totally agree with Rod Liddell, children should not have a final say in anything. Parents should parent end of story.
As a kid I, like all kids, was very impressionable and I identified as Batman, but like all kids I grew out of it. Kids today are damaged by the likes of Tiktok and delusional parents like this snowflake. I respected my kids as they grew up, but at all times I was the adult, my responsibility was to gude, nurture and educate them, I am now so proud how they have turned out, two well balanced adults who contribute to society.
she's a reason why these kids become adults and when they hit the real world get upset because they don't get their own way! stamp your feet all you like I'm not your mum and you'll do as asked.
Lying to anyone about something in the short term has long term consequences, often catastrophic ones. Oh, and its a bit like how we keep affirming any friend's new tattoo, telling them it looks great, and as a consequence virtually everyone's skin looks like utter crap.
She doesn't know the meaning of the word respect. You don't show respect to people by lying to them. If you have respect for someone then you tell them the truth. When it's a child you obviously need to be more gentle in how you put that across, but you still need to be truthful about things that will effect that child for the rest of its life. "Respecting" your child's wish to jump off a roof because they think they can fly is not respect its complete indifference to your own child's life. I'm sure that's not what most of these parents think they're doing, but it is. What they're doing is putting so much emphasis on feelings that they're neglecting everything else about their kid.
Young parents are totally screwed up … what a dangerous journey we have started … psychiatrists must be rubbing their hands are planning expensive holidays and three or four electric cars as they begins to unravel in ten years time the damage that’s being done now
If an adult, especially a teacher or person in authority, tells a child they can be any sex, then they are negligently harming children by peddling lies. They are as culpable as those at the Tavistock Clinic - who are now facing lawsuits - from children who have reached adulthood and now understand the abuse, horrors and implications of what was done to them. Do no harm - the safeguarding of children should trump ideology from pressure groups.
What scares me the most is that I used to think like her, until like 1 year ago. Now I 100% think like him. It really disturbs me that I had her mindset so recently.
Any parent who think they are helping their children by going along with this should feel total shame! Get your kid onto therapy and stop this nonsense.
'Times are changing wether we like it or not' - absolute bollocks They aren't changing just because deluded ideological zealots demand we submit to their idiotic nonsense.
Confirming what is an untruth to a child is not helpful. As Rod pointed out, you are the adult, there to give guidance to your child.
That particular woman is not an adult, dude …. to put your own flesh and blood through gender blockers should be treated as child abuse !!!
No wonder kids are so screwed up, the parents are kids themselves and would rather indulge their kids than act like an adult and say 'no'.

So true you can’t blame the school if the parents are pushing this nonsense
It's weird and it's wrong. As a child your simply a him or a her. Remove social media and it all goes away
69 likes on your comment aptly represents the fe/male gender.
Telling the truth isn't disrespectful. Teaching kids that the truth doesn't matter is dangerous.
So we should tell them there is no man in the sky watching their every move?

the very reason we're in this mess because of people like that lady !
“Times are changing whether we like it or not”. What a moronic statement.
I have a question for the bimbo; if your 6 year old told you he was black, would you raise them as black?

that right its a lie and bad parents lie to their children
She said gender dysmorphia. Is that even the right term! I thought it’s gender dysphoria
Tough one, this. The fact remains that if she let me play with those fun bags I'd believe anything she wanted me to.
Parents should parent and children should play. It’s a dangerous fad and if parents indulge their children they may ruin their lives.
Totally agree with Rod Liddle. Any parents allowing young children to go through "transitioning" are abusing their child.

Overly facilitative parenting is as damaging to children as hostile parenting.
Tell the woke folk to back off.Let the children be children.To many adult dictating about kids.
Using pronouns is dumb. Its grammatically incorrect!
It's bad enough that kids don't know who their dad is but when the mum doesn't know either.............ooer!.
You have got to agree with Rod Liddell this is the only sane way forward for humanity
