Hugh Jackman?
He can't be that famous. I've never heard of him.
You've never heard of the f**ker?? Maybe it's Jason Smith...
Just one per school (engaged from relevant non-profit org) to deliver a few (4?) sessions to the relevant age group each year tends to do the trick...
Sounds easy. You've really thought this through!
I lost count of how many came out in my year (post-school). About 10-15... which is around 10%.
Nah, someone else thought it all through, and it's happening.
I'm not racist mate or bigoted. I treat everyone equally, I really do. So do my kids. The difference between you and I is that I don't need to take up the fight for the minorities. They are doing well enough on their own with the help of people like you.
I'm happy for them to be taught that there are differences and not discriminate against them. I just don't like them cancelling descriptors that relate to the majority of people. For example some schools are avoiding using mother/father. For eg:

We had a couple of dudes that came out shortly after year 12. One was no surprise at all. The other just seemed like he was too shy to talk to girls.
I am.
Agree. Same with the pronoun rubbish.I'm happy for them to learn about it and be taught that there are differences and not discriminate against them. I just don't like them cancelling descriptors that relate to the majority of people. For example some schools are avoiding using mother/father. For eg:
Push to stop using terms like 'mum' and 'dad' in schools
Schools and sports groups are encouraged to use more inclusive language to support young LGBTQIA+ people.au.sports.yahoo.com
‘Mother’ and ‘father’ to be banned on forms as French schools go gender-neutral
The French parliament has voted to banish the words “mother” and “father” from official paperwork in the education system to tackle discrimination against gay parents.Children’s documents will instead refer to Parent 1 and Parent 2. The move has angered conservatives and Christians who argue that
That's going too far.
Non-profit? I’m sure you’ll be able to find some that will pay the schools to come and do it!
Some of the gender-neutral language makes sense in a modern world (e.g. ire fighter instead of fireman, chair of the board instead of chairman, etc), but some extreme suggestions I've read seem to be unnecessary.I'm happy for them to be taught that there are differences and not discriminate against them.
