California teacher trans demi-boy non-binary teach kids about gender pronouns using stuffed UNICORN

>

An awakened teacher who identifies as ‘non-binary trans demi-boy’ teaches boys about gender and pronouns using ‘gender fluid’ stuffed unicorns and narwhals.

Skye Tooley told TikTok followers how fifth graders at Saturn Street Elementary in Los Angeles are being taught using the weird methods.

Tooley told his 13,000 following that there are “so many more genders in the universe,” using a stuffed toy to prove it.

In one segment, the teacher says, ‘This is a unicorn lama… I thought it was really cute to let my kids name the unicorn llama.

‘It was a mistake. So this little llama is gender fluid; we will be practicing pronouns with this little llama.

‘[Children] they are very prepared for these issues and are much more accepting than adults when it comes to discussing these issues and talking about gender, gender assumptions, pronouns, all the things.

‘And it’s age and developmentally appropriate,’ the teacher insisted as she wrote various pronouns on a class flipchart.

Tooley has been using filler cartoons that include a unicorn, pictured above, and narwahl to explain “gender fluidity.”

The teacher used a flipchart in the classroom to address the complex issue of pronouns.

Tooley tried to explain the theme by using a stuffed narwhal that apparently had they/them pronouns.

‘I started talking [to students] about Norbert the Narwhal… who uses they/them pronouns, and we practice making mistakes with his pronouns and correcting them.’

The school seems perfectly comfortable with the methods, with a description of Tooley’s philosophy appearing in the school website.

‘I push diligently to create a safe and courageous space for my students. We work on feeling uncomfortable, challenged and communicating. We work to understand our identity, biases and privileges,” Tooley said.

Saturn Street Elementary School seems progressive and even has a ‘rainbow club’, which Tooley hopes will spread to even younger students.

‘The rainbow club is effectively a GSA for the primary… One wonderful thing about the rainbow club is talking about different identities, talking about who we are and talking about supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

“Students may not necessarily be out there, but they are excited to learn and help others,” Tooley said.

Tooley defends introducing gender at such an early age by suggesting that children need such lessons to help with their development.

“I realized that many of my students already looked at themselves and their bodies and even their gender in a negative way.

‘All this to say that the gender binary is constantly damaging us on a day-to-day basis. Only a few people get power from it.

‘Everyone else is trying to conform to social norms. This damage, as we are already seeing, starts at a young age,” Tooley said.

Tooley argues that such classroom discussions are “developmentally appropriate, part of our curriculum because we know our gender at an early age and we know our sexuality at an early age.”

Tooley, who has previously taught third and fourth grades, is interested in seeing other teachers follow suit and address the issue of gender ideology.

‘Educators specifically on the elementary side will say, ‘Well, I can’t teach LGBTQ+ because they’re just not ready for it…’ Our kids…are queer.

‘They are questioning, they are wondering. They want to see this. You should discuss it so people know how to show respect and empathy.
