I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I need to get hold of some information regarding the allowing of boys that identify as girls into girls changing rooms.

As far as I remember, the wording mentioned that girls who felt uncomfortable about the arrangement, were 'encouraged' to choose a different activity.

I think it was schools that came under the remit of Brighton that received it. I'd be very grateful for any information.

Sorry for being so vague.

Thanks LangCleg I'll have a read.

It's to do with my granddaughter's school so need to make sure I'm armed with all the facts.

I'm assuming ,as a former teacher, that no male bodied trans-identified girl would be allowed in the showers with girls, or undressed around them. I know that many people assume otherwise. Some newspapers have.

And yet again, you imply scaremongering, Kay. This is not appropriate.

It is a very good question. I'm assuming ,as a former teacher, that no male bodied trans-identified girl would be allowed in the showers with girls, or undressed around them. I know that many people assume otherwise. Some newspapers have.
Taking part in lessons ( eg netball, etc) with the girls, though, fair enough. You'd think. So physical " extra" changing spaces , and supervision, would needed to enable a trans-identified girl to be able to take part in PE with girls.

So I am waiting, like anyone else, for examples of actual, nuts and bolts practical arrangements. I would go ape shit of my daughter had been in the showers with a trans person with their bits.

We need a head of PE in a decently run school that has grappled with this don't we? Where is a PE teacher, when you need one?

Teaching Maths, according to the Times the other day.
