With public schools now promoting "transsexualism" and discussing sexual issues with grade school children, I thought back to what I knew about sex and sexuality at that age. Maybe I was a slow learner, maybe those were different times. In fact, I specifically remember age fourteen, because that is the age at which I moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts.
I knew that boys and girls had different parts, and I had seen dogs and hamsters mate, so I had a general idea of what would be involved for humans, but I had never seen an adult male naked.
I knew there was something that boys could do to me, that would get me in a whole lot of trouble. But I wasn't sure exactly what that bad thing was, that they could do.
I knew I would soon "have my period" and that this would be somewhat troublesome but also exciting as a mark of approaching adulthood, and that it was a part of human reproduction.
My older female cousin was my idol! She took me to my first rock concert, she let me try out her waterbed. I knew that she broke up with her boyfriend after high school because she liked a lady a lot better than him, so I thought they went to rock concerts a lot and he didn’t want to go, or something. I didn't know what "lesbian" meant.
So what did it hurt me? What did my innocence at age fourteen do to harm me or anyone else? NOTHING. There is absolutely no need and no reason to insist on the sexual indoctrination of children.
