This totally depends on the school/district. Info about puberty, which includes anatomy of genitalia and other body parts is def taught in 4th grade when kids can be 10 and under.
And really kids should be taught this stuff. It’s a shame I have to teach grown adults about their body parts and what is normal.
Oh, I totally agree that it should be taught.
Our district didn’t start it until 7th grade.
I homeschool my kids (9 and 12) and we’ve already covered puberty and sex.
Apologies for generalizing and not acknowledging that other districts may be different.
Just to be clear, while the sex education and age stuff is all tangentially relevant, these people think that learning that some kids have two moms or two dads is the same exact thing as teaching them about gay sex. They think that trans people are fetishists and any acknowledgement to children that trans people (including trans children) exist is teaching them about sex.
Trying to find logic in this is fruitless.
And indoctrination - they think acknowledging transkids exist makes kids trans. It's amazing that acknowledging one trans kid can overcome a lifetime of cis focused bias. Trans kids are just that fantastic - the thought leaders of their kindergarten classes.

🙄 There was a really great publication on that recently that showed that theory was, unsurprisingly, a big lie.
