I couldn't see this posted, will remove if there is existing thread. There is an article in the Times which states in light of new guidelines, teachers are not to use regressive gender stereotypes and allow girls and boys to play however they like without assuming they are 'trans.' It says that the guidelines are maybe a response to advice from a certain charity.
Girls who dress or play in ways that could be considered tomboyish should not be told that they may have a different gender identity, teachers have been instructed. Guidelines issued to schools by the government on Friday stated that boys and girls should never be led to believe that their preferences mean that their personalities or their bodies are wrong.The guidance, published by the Department for Education and Skills, has been altered since last year, when it simply stated: “Gender identity should be explored at a timely point and in a clear, sensitive and respectful manner.”
