Yeah, it would be bad enough if the kids could opt out but the fact that they can't? Not so much a red flag as a giant blinking red neon sign.

In what other context is a child not allowed to decline an adult's suggestion that they have a conversation about whether or not they might enjoy having objects shoved up their anus?

I don't have enough expletives.

I know that we're all busy - and exhausted from having to repeatedly tackle this but just a quick bump to urge people to write to their MP about this. If only to see how they respond to the funding from the tampon tax being used to devise games for 13 year olds to play in a lesson about inserting objects into their anus / vagina etc.

Anything about consent or is it just about normalising anal-sex?

Thank you for sharing - I'm pretty new to this while discussion topic arena. But what the actual fk. I will write to my MP. But what else can I do?

Given how few trans people there are statistically speaking isn't it a fascinating coincidence that there seem to be so many of them associated with groups like this? And always the same names too.

13 year olds do not want to play games in which they discuss sex in explicit detail with their teacher or any other school related adult. It's weird and creepy and generally inappropriate, especially if as people are saying they're not allowed to opt out. In what other context is a child not allowed to decline an adult's suggestion that they have a conversation about whether or not they might enjoy having objects shoved up their anus?

This is just unbelievable. Why is this considered acceptable as a school topic? It's ironic, isn't it? In some aspects, children's behaviour, particularly middle class children, has perhaps never been so regimented and choreographed. But this, which could be perceived as quasi grooming is considered suitable for schools? Absolutely astonishing.

Shouldn't OFSTED also cover external trainers, particularly if delivering a mandated curriculum?

Agreed WootMoggie - parents must insist on seeing the materials and details of all external speakers and organisations involved in a school. The new SRE guidelines advise schools to exercise due diligence and check out any organisations they use for SRE.
It is now apparent that there are a significant number of dodgy adults and organisations involved in producing SRE materials for schools and - until this kind of abusive unsuitable material is exposed - few schools will realise what they're actually dealing with until it's too late.
It's an awful state of affairs that parents have to do this but as regulatory capture is stopping many adults in schools from safeguarding children, the parents will have to do it until sanity prevails.

The transgendertrend analysis is eye opening.

Listing body parts it would appear that breasts are left out entirely. And, apparently the clitoris.

I just keep looking at the claim that they cured anorexia and suicidal tendencies in that girl. It reads like one of those mad claims made by faith healers.

Right.

This does seem abusive to me. At the age of 13, I'd never heard of sex toys, anal sex, or any other unusual practices. Granted, I was autistic and fairly naive and maybe most of my peers knew much more than me - but some young teenagers definitely won't be aware of these things. Bringing them up at school seems horrendously inappropriate. Adults shouldn't be encouraging teenagers to discuss different ways of having sex. How could anyone think this was a good idea?

O.M.G.

Forcing/coercing a child or young person to participate in a game like this is actual abuse full stop. It is perfectly likely a child in any class will have been or is being sexually abused. This needs following through- who allocated the funding and what criteria was used?

This is going in (yet another letter) to my Tory MP. It's time that the government explained why they have funded and enabled so many organisations to access schools when the awful reality is that they are criminally unsuitable to be anywhere near children.
