Apparently over 1000 UK schoolchildren between the ages of 16 and 18 were surveyed. 20% confirmed they had been taught at some stage in their schooling that a man can give birth 
One third of British schoolchildren surveyed confirmed that they were taught that a woman can have a penis! Who'd have thought?!

So 80% hadn't been taught that a man can get pregnant. Technically a trans man could get pregnant if he kept his womb and ovaries. This article explains things quite well https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/can-men-become-pregnant

 It would be interesting as to where the 20% were taught it i.e. which type of school. I've found the article (Daily Mail) and there seems to be a lot of vagueness about the childrens answers.  I find the tone of the articIe really awful. I do think that older pupils should be taught about the various differences in how people identify nowadays. I don't think that primary school children should be enabled to begin the process of changing gender. They are too young as has been said on this thread already I think.

I'm with you clkd,if my child was being taught this absolute rubbish,I'd be pulling her from the school.
Wasn't there a girl in Australia recently who wanted to be identified as a cat? For the love of god,where would it stop tell me?

 😲. Geez, it'll be a saucer of milk rather than a fruit shoot for the young Aussie lass

Litter trays were my first thought 

Also: I wouldn't put the Daily Mail, Sun nor Mirror under my chickens' roost   

[jaypo]

Don't know who's worse,the people doing it or the people who pander to this utter garbage.
Today I'm going to identify with a lazy old bat that sits around drinking coffee

Might be preferable to being locked in a small space with a man in a dress who may or may not be a rapist  (OK most of them aren't).

Just read an article how men can suffer with post natal depression 😳😳😳😳😳 last I heard it was caused by hormones in women!!! Men MAY indeed get depression after the birth of a baby I dare say but to call it PND ?

Now adidas are at it,they have a man advertising a woman's bathing costume,nearly choked on me gluten free toast this morning when I spied the picture 

[Taz2]

This has been known about for years. It's called post natal as it affects men after the birth of their baby but obviously not hormone related. It happens during the post natal period so I guess that's why it's called that. It's good that men can get help too. https://www.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/blogs-and-stories/after-birth/tommys-midwives/postnatal-depression-men

Wonder what they'd feel like if they'd actually GIVEN birth 😳

[Songbird]

Good point Jaypo.
