The BBC has been accused of trying to indoctrinate young children by telling them that fish can change gender. It is just the latest Mail gender panic.
The Safe Schools Alliance, which is campaigning against inappropriate sex education lessons, said: ‘CBeebies indoctrinating toddlers into the ideological concept of changing from a boy to a girl.
‘BBC send in the clownfish for Pride month to target children and yet again fail in their safeguarding responsibility.’
Twitter user Sion Jones, who spotted the segment, said: ‘The fact that there’s clearly been a meeting where this was discussed in terms of trans but they’ve also tried to maintain the plausible deniability of ‘it’s just a fun fact about fish!’ is extremely disappointing.’
CBeebies, its channel aimed at under-sevens, broadcast a segment about how some species can go from ‘being a boy fish to a girl fish’.
Mail gender panic
Approximately 5% of animal species have the ability to change sex throughout their lives to maximize reproductive success. Approximately 5% of animal species have this ability, although if we eliminate insects from the equation, this percentage increases to 30%, as all are unisexual in this group, reports El Pais.
Or this from The Conversation: “The bluehead wrasse is a fish that lives in small social groups in coral reefs in the Caribbean. Only the male has a blue head – signalling his social dominance over a harem of yellow-striped females.
“If this male is removed from the group, something extraordinary happens: the largest female in the group changes sex to become male. Her behaviour changes within minutes. Within ten days, her ovaries transform into sperm-producing testes. Within 21 days she appears completely male.”
