Children should not be allowed to “dictate” their gender to adults says James Cleverly

Children should not be allowed to “dictate” their gender identity to adults, James Cleverly has said.
The Conservative leadership contender said adults were instead meant to teach children about the world, as their brains are not yet fully developed.
The former minister compared the slow biological development of humans brains with deer, which he said are “pretty much ready to rock and roll” within hours of birth.
Mr Cleverly was asked for his opinion on teenagers socially transitioning without their parents’ knowledge, at a Conservative party conference fringe event.
He said “childhood, adolescence and puberty is really confusing, hard and difficult” for most people.
The Braintree MP added: “I clearly missed the memo when we collectively decided that children dictate to adults and adults don’t teach children, because that strikes me as a bit of a recipe for disaster.
“We know, and this is not a criticism, it is just a statement of biological fact, human children are born with not fully developed brains.

Child abuse in my eyes, sorry but you only reap what you sow, and some these parents are pushing the wrong agenda for their own sick needs..
