A kindergarten in Austria has expelled two children after their parents expressed concerns about graphic, sexual posters that had been hung in the facility. The posters, depicting nude trans-identified males, were reportedly created to “facilitate discussions in kindergarten settings.”
The incident occurred at a corporate kindergarten and daycare in Vienna open for the children of employees of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation. After enrolling their two kids in the kindergarten, a mother and father became aware that the class had decorated a wall in the classroom with a disturbing poster. Speaking to Kronen Zeitung, the father says they first learned about the poster after his 4-year-old son reported seeing “strange pictures” on the walls.
Investigating for himself, the father went down to the kindergarten and noted a poster had been installed featuring illustrations of nude individuals accompanied by the phrase: “Bodies naked and bare, vulva, penis, breasts, butts. You decide for yourself, indeed! Bodies are cool!”
One panel on the poster appears to depict an obese male in the shower with a young boy, while another features a trans-identified male with an exposed penis and breasts. The final panel of the poster shows two nude children taking a shower with an adult.
The parents then filed a complaint with the kindergarten and requested the removal of these illustrations, noting they appeared to be inappropriate for such young children.
As a result of the complaint, the father and his wife were summoned for an initial discussion with the regional management, followed by a meeting with the kindergarten’s CEO, Thomas-Peter Gerold-Siegl. Despite having no pedagogical background, Gerold-Siegl reportedly insisted that children aged 1 through 6 required “sexual education,” something the mother objected to immediately.
Following the discussion, the kindergarten placement for both of the children were terminated, and they have since been blacklisted from any facilities operated by Kinder in Wien (Children in Vienna, or KiWi), which not only oversees the corporate kindergartens of the Austrian broadcaster but also manages 93 additional kindergartens and after-school programs throughout Vienna.
“Because we dared to voice criticism against the practices of premature sexualization,” the parents explained to Kronen Zeitung.
The poster was found to have originated from a picture book titled Bodies Are Cool by American author and illustrator Tyler Feder. The book is purportedly designed to “facilitate discussions in kindergarten settings” about body perception, and encourage children “to accept others as they are.”
The cover of the book features a trans-identified female with mastectomy scars and a beard, while the naked trans-identified man with breasts is depicted with a heart-shaped tattoo of a trans flag. As previously reported by Reduxx, the pink-blue-white flag was designed by crossdressing fetishist Robert Hogge, who once penned a story about marrying a little girl who never ages.
DID YOU KNOW that the man who designed the trans pride flag wrote disturbing stories about young girls who never aged and pursued adult men?

Curiously, in the American edition of Bodies Are Cool, the page featuring the nude illustrations displayed in the Austrian kindergarten was completely omitted, but was exclusively available in the German edition.
News of what happened at the kindergarten has sent shockwaves through Austria, with the chairman of the Freedom Party of Austria FPÖ, Dominik Nepp, demanding the withdrawal of all funding from both the City of Vienna and the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation.
In a press release, Nepp wrote: “It is particularly scandalous that legitimate complaints from parents result in their children being excluded from kindergarten.”
Thomas-Peter Gerold-Siegl, the CEO of the largest private provider of kindergartens and after-school care in Vienna, Kinder in Wien (KiWi), has reportedly defended both the removal of the children from the kindergarten and the poster, with a spokesperson for KiWi stating the that it was put up with the aim of fostering diversity, self-acceptance, and a positive body image in children.
In 2024, the Kinder in Wien Journal, published by Gudrun Kern and Thomas-Peter Gerold-Siegl, addressed the issue of “sexual education in kindergarten and after-school care.” In the journal, it is claimed that “children are born as sexual beings” and that a so-called “sexual identity” develops from birth.
