Victoria’s “Respectful Relationships” curriculum lies to little children about the reality of biological sex.

The deceptive overtones gaslight boys and girls as young as five into accepting humans can change sex.

They cannot and it is a blatant lie to suggest they can.

The curriculum is meant to help prevent family violence through respectful relationships. How is lying and deceiving little ones into denying reality and rejecting science respectful?

The revised curriculum for “foundation level” – children in the first year of primary school – includes a case study of a transgender girl called “Stacey”.

“She dresses like the other girls, plays with them and everything seems fine,” the sample lesson plan states. “But one day, Lara says Stacey should be in the boys’ team at sports, not the girls’ team.”

They are advised to tell their students that “Stacey” could respond by saying: “Yes I can play with the girls’ team because I am a girl!”, or “Go and ask the teacher if you don’t believe me. Our teacher says I belong in the girls team.”

The curriculum also seeks to educate the five and six-year-old students about the notion of being transgender, by telling them that “some people feel they did not get a good match for their body parts, and they do not want to be called a boy or a girl, but rather something that is right for them”.

Binary book Devastated: How gender ideology is tearing Australian families apart contains 9 accounts of how the education, health and political system in Australia has betrayed thousands of young people with similar lies. 

Despite most nations now banning puberty blockers and other harmful treatments for children, Australia persists with experimental and irreversible pathways that politicians refuse to debate or hold inquiries over. They know the outcomes will not be favourable and block any attempts to expose the fraud.

Queensland is the only Australian state to have banned new ­prescriptions for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, amid a National Health and Medical Research Council review of the guidelines for care of trans and gender-diverse people under 18 with gender dysphoria. The review is expected to take four years.

Child psychiatrist Jillian Spencer said all other states were using a “full affirmation pathway” to treat children with gender distress. “And that pathway, firstly involves social transition, but then puberty blockers from the start of puberty, cross sex hormones from the age of 14, and girls can have a double mastectomy from the age of 15. Genital surgery is done on both sexes from the age of 18,” she said.

Dr Spencer, who has been outspoken on the issue to the point of being stood down from her role at the Queensland Children’s Hospital in 2023 after raising clinically grounded objections to the gender affirming model, said she was concerned by the “Respectful Relationships” curriculum.

“Because of the harms of medical interventions – like infertility, lack of sexual function, physical health problems and the risk of regret – we need to do what we can to assist children to feel comfortable in their body,” she said. “I think it’s wrong to introduce (the notion of being transgender) early. It just introduces confusion.”

The consequences are dire and too many children are being catastrophically and irreversibly harmed for the sake of this political ideology. Urgent action is required to save the lives of these vulnerable young people. Suicide rates increase after children begin “affirmation” pathways and are left with facing a lifetime of being pharmaceutical consumers due to the countless side effects.

This is a totally avoidable tragedy. The education system, health system and political narrative needs a massive overhaul.
