Either National Post was paid good money for this ad, or someone in the advertising department is seriously prejudiced and uneducated. Excerpt: Quote:

She doesn't look very 'girly', why is she allowed to be herself but people born with penises have to fit a mould, like some kind of curse or punishment?

If society didn't revere masculine qualities so much over feminine ones, "sissy" would have no more negative connotations than "tomboy", and a male teletubby with a bag would be seen as no more corrupting than the female teletubby with a scooter. |

That ad is so ridiculous though. Since when do cisgendered children get "confused" because schools talk about queer people? I can't believe this has even happened. |
