I have just discovered my childs school has a certain organisation as a contact on their website so I am spending today writing an email explaining why it should be removed.

Any suggestions of info I should include ( I have some thanks to you all) but it doesnt hurt to make sure I haven't forgotten anything.

Can someone also please confirm if I am correct in thinking that children cannot change their birth certificates r official documentation so are still legally their birth sex?

The protected characteristic of gender reassignment means treating them no worse than others of their sex. Which for these children, means birth sex not target gender. They should be protected from bullying & etc.

They can however acquire the protected characteristic of gender reassignment that means schools should refer to them as chosen name and sex. They haven’t legally changed sex but should be treated as if they have (but access to toilets and changing rooms of the opposite sex isn’t a legal right).

You're correct. Children cannot get GRCs so cannot legally change sex
