I've just received an email from my children's secondary school telling me about an assembly they'll be attending next week. It's to "explore the difference between biological sex and gender identity and how we can help create a more inclusive community by understanding the negative impact of stereotypes...."
I'm all for the dismantling of stereotypes, particularly where they dictate what someone wears, the interests or jobs they pursue, and the name they choose. However, I have several red lines involving single-sex spaces, sport and, y'know, the biological impossibility of altering chromosomes. So, without wishing to leap to conclusions or pigeon-hole myself as "that parent", I do want to ask for clarification on exactly what the school plans to cover. This includes whether or not their resources are from Stonewall. Is this reasonable of me? And, aside from the Stonewall point, does anyone have any suggestions for questions to ask?
