Reference :- The Sky News hosts told us that the latest guidebook published by the NSW Office of the Children's Guardian instructs parents to let their 3 year old children choose their own pronoun .
Dear vigilant perusers of government pamphlets ,
Here at The Sky Reply we have searched high and low for that highly circulated government dodger you referenced . You know , the one which instructs parents to let their 3 year old children choose their preferred pronoun . Much to our disappointment , at first we found nothing .
Sky News has a reputation for honest journalism , free of misinformation . One only need look at your meticulous research on the topic of climate change and your information regarding the dread pandemic to realise that you have set yourselves high standards .
And that is why we kept reading and re - reading the 80 pages in that pamphlet you told us about . Eventually Ken junior did find the tiny paragraph that has stirred your indignation It is quoted below in case you have forgotten it already , amidst all the hype.
" ... supporting and respecting decisions that children and young people make about their own gender identity, including asking their preferred names and their pronouns . " .
Ken junior has also provided the following context .
The statement was directed towards organisations that deal with unhappy , traumatised young children and teenagers . It was not specifically addressed to parents . It did not mention children of any specific age .
Of course that did leave you free to insert your own bodacious age , and you chose well . I reckon anything younger than 3 yrs would tax your credibility too severely , but 3 yrs is certain to ferment outrage .
I have always said that making things up is a challenging pastime , which requires a subtle mastery .
Well done .
Your comrade , Ken .
