My bum is still a little numb from a biopsy yesterday in which an ultrasound probe was inserted into my anus while a needle was inserted through my perineum into my prostate gland about 25 times, after which my bum bled a little. This is an experience that no-one born as a biological female will ever experience, as they do not have prostate glands and cannot develop prostate cancer. The letter writer was completely correct in his assertion with respect to the prostate.i suggest , as previously advised you return back under your bridge , as your question is clearly not placed in good faith...
and of course the answer is yes as anyone who searched for the term ' skene's gland cancer' would see
Adenosquamous Carcinoma of Skene’s Gland: A Case Report and Literature Review - PMC
Skene’s gland is homologous to the male prostate and can secrete prostate fluid. However, Skene’s gland carcinoma is extremely rare, with only 20 cases reported in the literature thus far. We report the first case of adenosquamous carcinoma of ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
About 13% of men will develop prostate cancer. 3% or so will die from it.
no sex education at all?
We had a video called “some of your bits ain’t nice”
Some children will have gay parents. Other children will discover they are gay. You cannot deal with those two issues without teaching LGBT matters in school - or alternatively you can shut down all discussion and be bigoted about it. 'Not teaching' it isn't some kind of neutral position.
LGBT matters are for the parents. Religion is for you to decide when you are old enough to understand.
It's not as black and white as that though. What if children/teenagers ask the teachers about homosexuality or about trans issues? How should the teachers respond?
I suspect you're confusing confirmation with first communion, but attacks on Catholics seem to be acceptable here, even when based on ignorance.
Don't honestly know.
How does the school deal with a small child drawing a picture of their family of two mums?
Just speaking for myself here, school was pretty useless about sex education. There was some, but it was coy and not very helpful. Positively confusing at points - such as the goat's skull.
But my parents were even worse. I'm sure they would really very gladly have had the school do a good job of it so that they didn't have to say anything. I doubt I'm alone in that.
I don't know other than saying it isn't their place to answer, but all 'sexualities' are equally valid.
The above is why I think Anthropology should be a secondary school subject - to provide the framework on which to build understanding about how different societies work. Ditch RE, replace with anthropology. Also some philosophy perhaps. In Spanish schools, philosophy is a compulsory subject, but not religion.
Isn’t an expressed view precisely that?
You can't really stamp on homophobic bullying if you aren't able to teach that being gay is fine though.
Isn't that how exploring a subject works? You start off with one view, and may end up having a completely different one.
Indeed.
Comparative religion perhaps, but not theology.
I wouldn’t object to it being a GCSE option. But those hours could have been better spent learning something to get me a job than forced sky pixie bollocks. Plus back in my day they only taught Christianity. The few Muslim pupils there were would have to wait outside the classroom, wasting their learning time also.
I don’t think it should be an option. It’s necessary to have an overview of religion IMO. Not to indoctrinate but to inform
