Parents of students as young as 4 are being asked if their children would like to go by nonsense pronouns such as “they/them”.

The Queensland Education Department issues official paperwork every November for kindergarten teachers and parents as students transition from pre-school to primary school. 

The document addresses the areas of academic and art and is given to parents and the school the student will attend next.

Under the gender section for their child, parents can choose how they would like their child referred to in the statement. The options are he/him, she/her or they/them.

Former Queensland Senator Gerard Rennick has previously criticised the option.

'Children are now being asked about their preferred pronouns in preschool... What happened to letting kids be kids?' he said.

'What are the repercussions of sexual content being brainwashed into our children regarding their personal self-esteem and the way they treat others as they grow older?'

'Identity politics should be kept out of the classroom, how hard can that be?'

The Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority claims 46 parents across the state had nominated they/them pronouns for their child for this year.

One shocked mother told The Australian she wrote to Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek to express her anger at the 'outrageous' move.

The minister replied that QCAA was an independent statutory body so he did not have direct authority over it, but had been advised the inclusion of they/them pronouns was to 'foster inclusion and recognise diversity in our community'.

The QCAA distributed this form. We believe parents are best placed to choose how they fill it out,' the education minister said.

Gender identity ideology is based on deception and lies. No human can change their sex. No child is born in the wrong body.

It is cruel to mislead little children down the harmful and deceptive pathway that they might be somehow defective. 

Children ought to be affirmed in the bodies they have and out-dated sex stereotypes rejected. 

A child is either male or female. To entertain anything else is to sexualise a child and to mislead them into accepting a lie as truth.
