The end result of teaching radical gender theory to children ends up in young confused children who have been led to believe they are trapped in the “wrong” body. Being prescribed harmful cross sex hormones and puberty blockers which the effects are irreversible and there is no credible long term data. As stated in the Cass Review a 4 year extensive report out of the UK:

The final stage in this process is body altering surgery, which is called “Gender Affirming Care“. The side effects and end result of these surgeries are quite often horrendous.
Children who are referred to Gender Clinics are not required in nearly all instances to undergo full psychiatric evaluations before proceeding, full transparency is not given to parents. Doctors from these clinics give the message to parents that is they don’t proceed with so called "Gender Affirming Care" it will lead to an increase to their child’s mental health issues and/or lead to their child committing suicide.
This fearmongering from these so called medical professionals in these positions is a blatant mistruth. There are numerous studies to show young adolescents who receive Gender affirming care, their mental health issues actually increase.

This situation of children being groomed and brainwashed into thinking they are in the “wrong body“ and being which ends up with them taking body altering drugs and undertaking body altering surgery is the direct end result of Radical Gender Theory, being pushed onto young impressionable minds through the Education System, day care centres, kindergartens and schools.
Radical Gender Theory has no place in school curriculums especially when it leads to circumstances such as children taking irreversible body altering drugs and irreversible body altering surgery.
Quotes and references from some of the countries leading Child Psychologists:
Philip Morris senior psychiatrist states:
Four to five-year-olds are really at a point in their life where they are not in a position to be able to decide whether they should or should not support trans identities. So it’s premature for children to be asked this sort of stuff and it and it’s premature for the parents to be forced or encouraged to nominate this for their children.

Andrew Amos prominent psychiatrist at James Cook University:
not acceptable on a number of levels and very concerning. I don’t think kids of that age are even capable of understanding the underlying concepts. It’s damaging for the children, but I think it’s also damaging to the family structure. The boundaries that you set for kids really have a large part to play in whether they’re going to be happy, healthy and functional, and this is really indoctrination into a particular political ideology that damages the child at school, but also at home.

Jillian Spencer child and adolescent psychiatrist states:
Using preferred pronouns for children this age is harmful to the individual child and also to the other children in the classroom. I understand parents want to be seen as ‘good’ parents… However, it is not kind or caring to the child to play along with them being the opposite sex or non-binary. This is harmful to the child because it sets them on a path towards medicalisation which has serious harms. At kindergarten age, children are still trying to understand reality and providing them with false information about their own, or their classmate’s sex, prevents them from learning accurate information about themselves and the world.
