The BBC teaches


The BBC has told teachers who work with children aged 9-12 that there are “100, if not more” gender identities. 
Children are seeking in record numbers to change their gender because they feel they were born in the wrong body, and the advice has sparked concerns that it could fuel confusion. 
The claim appears in a series of nine films created by BBC Teach to support the personal, social and health education (PSHE) curriculum in schools.  
In one question-and-answer session a young boy asks: “What are the different gender identities?” He is then praised by a head teacher for asking a “really, really exciting question”. 
The film cuts to a PSHE teacher called Kate Daniels, who explains to two other young children: “We know that we have got male and female, but there are over 100, if not more, gender identities now.”
She goes on to explain that some people are “bi-gender” and feel that they are two genders at once. “And then you’ve got some people who might call themselves gender-queer, who are just like: ‘I don’t really want to be anything in particular. I am just going to be me.’”

  1. Why don't they just play them the nearly 50 years old "Lola" by the Kinks? That will explain it all... :)
