"I think anyone dismissing this is severely underestimating the intelligence of our nation's youth, and denying them a chance to be what they are: citizens."
To answer your footnote question, the picture book "What Makes A Baby" by Cory Silverberg is fantastic for the "where do babies come from" question! It's incredibly inclusive of all types of pregnancy experiences. I've found it to be age-appropriate for my 3yo and 5yo (though your 8yo might have some more specific questions), and they love reading it!
We have this too - my partner is trans and we conceived using donor sperm, so I really loved the inclusive language. But I agree it's more suited to younger kids and your eight year old might need something more science based. Like any other social topic, early and often is best. Young kids don't get embarrassed about sex related topics so it's best to get started as soon as possible!
Everyone has to help get the word of mouth out to the people who don’t have social media.
If you want to get rid of Trump then we have to get the Democrats the majority. The DOJ has sealed files implicating Trump in multiple rape cases against children. Those files are the key to having Trump impeached.
The Democrats want those sealed files released. Make sure you vote for Democrat representatives in 2026. OTHERWISE TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT NETWORK WILL CONTINUE THEIR DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA
FOR NOW ——-///-
Everyone has to educate their House and Senate representatives about Trump raping women and children. Everyone has to educate them that Trump is doing everything in his power to cover that up. Almost everyone in Trump’s network has previously helped him cover up his crimes against women and children. Call, write letters and emails to your representatives.
There are a few representatives that don't know how evil/corrupt Trump and his network actually are. Almost all of the republicans know. They are just such lowlifes that they are more worried about losing their jobs than doing the right thing.
THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES HAVE TO BE RELEASED. That’s how we get Trump impeached.
H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act has to pass for that to happen.
Don’t let the Republican representatives convince you they voted for this. THAT’S A LIE. They voted for H.R. 668 intended to clear Trump’s name from the sealed files.
i'm not a parent , just an aunt, but all i can really say is just be honest with your kid? .. i don't recall asking the question myself but i Do distinctly remember at age 7 watching species 2 in theaters that easter with family, dinner and a movie was family tradition. i mention it cause well.. that was the first sex scene i seen. it was weird in its own way considering its a horror movie of sorts but sex is sex and there was plenty of it along with alien babies so ... while weird way to be exposed to that knowledge thats how i acquired it. every kid is different but idk i think just being honest would be the best route vs randomly learning in the wild.
