By Year 9, nearly 50% of my child’s friends had identified as LGBTQIA+ in some way, for a period of time. There seemed to be a significant social media element to this because my child showed me messages that heaped praise or ‘Likes’ on anyone ‘coming out’ or changing their pronouns.
The school invited kids who identified this way to the Rainbow Club and in Yr8 the whole year was taught about Gender Identity, and how it is not the same as your sex, as if this was a proven, scientific fact.
