Gender Ideology

School districts and teachers’ unions across the country have been pushing to teach children about gender ideology in the US and the question arises that whether it is the right time for the preschoolers to know these complexities relating to gender identity and sexuality or not. Children develop at their own pace and preschool is really not the right time for them to be introduced to sex and gender differences and the complex gender ideology agenda at all. Even the preadolescent and adolescent have developmental differences in terms of emotions and psychological wellbeing. Among preadolescents many aren't psychologically or emotionally ready to discuss or think about their identity. A clinical social worker and psychoanalyst and a parent guidance expert Erica Comisar argues that before preadolescence that starts at around 9 years, they may be introduced to these concepts but very cautiously and succinctly depending upon the demand and curiosity of the child and it is preferred that these concepts are introduced at home by the parents first rather than the teachers at school. Parents can judge whether the child is ready to digest the information or puke it out. However, gender ideologists argue that kids must be taught gender ideology as early as preschool now into kindergarten and 1st grade which is unreasonably too early for them. They're not really equipped developmentally to be thinking about their identity in a way that is pushing him options to choose from whether to change his pronoun and dress like a girl or a boy or any of the more than hundred gender terms. She believed that this hasty adoption in such a way, is an indoctrinating a particular propaganda, an ideology and way of life that they want to push.
