Children are being taught “gender identity ideology’ in Tasmanian primary schools without the knowledge or consent of parents, with one mother revealing her daughter – who had undertaken the sex education program over a period of six years – now identifies as a boy.
Parents at both public and private schools have reported they were not notified before the Growing Up Program sessions took place or given details of the “gender identity” focus, that no permission slips or parent information sessions were offered, and that parents were not permitted into the classes.
Women’s rights group Women Speak Tasmania says the program “teaches children that boys can have vaginas, girls can have penises, and that gender is nothing more than a feeling”.
The WST also expressed alarm at the Tasmanian Department of Education’s Respectful Relationships Resources guide which was “saturated with gender ideology from kindergarten through Year 12”.
The document says “some people with the gender identities ‘boy’ or ‘man’ have vulvas, and some with the gender identity ‘girl’ or ‘woman’ have penises/testicles. Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.” Teachers are instructed to “affirm children’s unconventional choices – our job is to support all children in their decisions”.
“Family Planning Tasmania placates parents by saying, ‘well, we have a parent session’, but they don’t actually tell you what’s being taught. The fact that they can’t be transparent with what they actually teach is a red flag.” that they can’t be transparent with what they actually teach is a red flag.”
She asked to read the program but was instead invited to meet staff at FPT who, she claims, confirmed they “teach that children have a gender identity and of course they can change sex”. They defended their teaching on changing sex, she claims, by referencing intersex people, suggesting this validated the existence of a “third sex”.
She alleged they dismissed the mother’s request to read the course materials, arguing they were “commercial in confidence” and “not relevant” since her daughter was no longer in primary school.
