it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools
My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.
My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.

for what it’s worth I got roped into helping out with my sixth grader’s extracurricular thing so I’ve had more recent contact with middle schoolers who aren’t mine than I usually do, and biased sample/biased reviewer/etc but my verdict is that the kids are all right

I have a kid in the Boy Scouts and despite the name of the org and its problematic legacy, it's easily one of the most welcoming organization of its type around right now. Boys, girls, NB. Trans or Cis. The guiding principals of the BSA are now "come as you are" and "every kid deserves to belong"
I'm sure it's all well intentioned by Girl Guides, but it's transphobic to say "if someone's biologically female they can join".
Trans men are men. They are not women.

Following a ban on trans girls getting involved in Girl Guides, Girlguiding has confirmed it does not apply to trans boys.

The rich would rather occasionally, with fanfare, tip the working class rather than regularly pay a higher fixed tax.
