My reply was at Parms comments about woke cartoons really but I had read your post. I just don't understand what the issue is.

It's a misleading scene in a children's cartoon. Young boys may think they will get periods and not all will ask their parents about that. It could even lead to them being bullied for being 'stupid' by more aware peers.

Again in this thread I Stand corrected
My view is that’s it’s up to the parents to decide what their children watch and are taught. Last edited by thesheriff443; 03-07-2022 at 12:13 PM. |

The key to tolerance and understanding is education. Like it or not the TV plays a part in educating a lot of kids and these are very real issues in today's society and kids need to be aware of trans issues in order to promote a more accepting society

And where did I say ALL kids would ask questions. Surely its a given that they're not all robots?
I didn't say ALL kids would act the same way, I've just read back and nowhere have I categorically said that ALL kids will react in the same way.

Hiding certain real world aspect of life away from children as they’re entering their tween years, going into being teenagers isn’t protecting them, it’s making them completely ignorant and naive to things that they’re going to need to talk about, the way people are talking about this one scene as if either periods should be one big dirty secret that nobody should talk about, or that trans people shouldn’t exist in just general life and conversations, if you want kids to grow up being just as ignorant as their parents, just say that y’know, let’s not pretend that a less than 5 minute scene in a tv show is going to radically alter the minds of vulnerable children, it’s becoming ****ing pantomime for the purposefully ignorant

I quite agree with that. I don't agree that this type of material shouldn't be out there so parents can make that decision. If mine was watching something I don't think is appropriate I make him turn it off, I don't kick up a fuss as I know sone parent's will be happy with their kids watching it

In the movie in which this health robot is from, one of the characters died a horrible, on screen death in a fire/explosion, but no we can’t have children hearing about periods or seeing trans people, that’s too emotionally challenging!

If this was hair dye we were on about would anyone care? Even though on the box there's a picture of a woman....would this be controversial because it might mislead children? What's the harm in misleading children? It opens it up to questions. At what age would you expect a child to find out that some transmen use sanitary products? |

Apparently children seeing this though is going to cause them damage because it's misleading. What a joke. We really are going backwards. No wonder there's issues in today's youth and adults. People just don't want to speak about the elephant in the room and we unnecessarily shield children from reality.... This in turn leads to a society in which things are less accepted and there is prejudice and deragatory outlooks |

As I said I am a parent of a similar aged child. I don't let him watch shows I feel are inappropriate, he doesn't have a tv in his room so I am aware of what he is watching and will talk to him about issues I think he needs to know or if I feel he shouldn't watch something. That is where I disagree. If kids are left to watch tv and don't understand or don't ask, that's not the shows fault. Its a parenting issue. Too many parents use the tv as a babysitter and then complain about the shows they're watching rather than explaining things to their kids

You're just presuming that....and what's the worse thing that misleading is going to do? There's a whole heap of stuff which children should not see and will get mislead by. That's part of growing up! It's not easy, but with a good support network around them they should be fine. I would personally focus on bigger issues than this! Maybe just stop kids watching TV full stop, hay, maybe not even let them leave the house... Big world out there and a very diverse one, but with unfortunately non-diverse attitudes. Focus on a real issues like CSE, grooming, bullying, anti-social behaviour, drinking, drugs, aggression, peer pressure etc Not one where a man buys a sanitary product. |

Ermmm.... They may still have a womb.
They might have a weak bladder... They might have prostate issues, they might have loose bowels, they might suffer with anxiety which could cause them to wet themselves, they might be buying them for someone else etc etc |

The same reason women use them. If they are pre-op and haven't had hormone treatment to stop their periods, they will still bleed monthly. What should they do then? Not use anything? Shove a load of tissue in their pants? Or buy the products that are for periods?

I'm reminded of the reason I don't normally participate in these sort of discussions (or political ones etc.)
You have an opinion on one aspect alone (like the scene I see as misleading in this case) and you get lectures on how your opinion is completely wrong and what you should be focusing on instead and you must be anti - trans and anti - progressive yadda yadda yadda. People can't have discussions anymore without OTT assumptions being thrown around. Can't be arsed. |
