I feel like sometimes writers are forgetting that they're in an entertainment medium when they write certain episodes.

Well actually periods is huge and most probably frightening for young people. You blow it out of massive context. It's someone going to purchase sanitary products....this makes young people curious and opens up debate with parents...in turn the child is less worried when the time comes. It's not flat out an episode with periods, how you menstruate, pictures of wombs... Adults probably wouldn't want to watch it because they already know about them.

The world is seriously fcuked up at this stage

Trans man and sanitary products are not just used for periods.

No the world is fecked up because of people's very narrow minded outlooks on life.

And is pre op.

All this going on in an episode for kids.

No it's not. You are blowing it out of context. Shall we wrap kids up on cotton wool?

That wouldn't be educational in the slightest to kids, it would be confusing. Madness.

The world is confusing. This is where the role of a parent and other adults come into play.

100% spot on!!

The sense of entitlement from some on here thinking they know what’s best.

And here lies one of the problems. It's a children's programme and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Are these likely to be the same parents who would object to their children be taught about gays?

It just wraps children up in a bubble, unprepares them for the real world, makes them less open minded.

Please tell me what harm it does to show someone going into a store to buy sanitary products? Please tell me what the big fuss is about?

I also don't agree with this new show. Can we just allow kids to be kids for a bit maybe?

How is it not allowing kids to be kids?

Yeah I agree
