Trans guidance for schools - "that British fudge that so often works"

In The Times. Looks like a Cabinet split may open up. It's not clear where the extra space will come from for the gender neutral toilets. And it won't be statutory guidance either:

Ministers seek compromise on transgender advice for schools

"A senior government source said: “This never used to be such a divisive issue: people just accepted trans people and got on with it. It only became an issue once the activists got involved and polarised people. We need to get back to that British fudge that so often works.” They added: “In schools we need to find a compromise that works for all pupils, whether that’s having gender-neutral toilets as well or something else.”"

Oh great, another mess.

Has the hyperbole started from Labour and certain teaching union officials yet? Some of them are proper full on Astrology Popular Front.

And Truss knew this is the sort of shit that chief astrologer Mordaunt would stir. God knows she has seen Mordaunt in action over the years. Absolutely predictable that a Cabinet with Mordaunt in it would be messy on safeguarding. Unforgivable, given the Mermaids safeguarding disaster unfolding right in front of us right now.

And why not provide another changing room? My guess is because there's no space.

But this mentions gender neutral toilets. Does that space come from disabled toilets?? 🧐

And why do the "trans" kids get to change first? Budge up girls

Compromise? Hmmmm.

Does it mean women and girls are told budge over again, without any consultation?
