Trans Changing Room issue at mid Wales school

in the name of therapeutic benefit to the male child

Which benefit is still theoretical, completely unproven to benefit the male child.

Not at all arguing against your point that even if it was proven to benefit the male child, female children shouldn't be used for that purpose, but even as it stands, there's no definitive benefit to any child.

The only people who benefit even a little bit from this are the adults who get to bask in their own righteousness.

Contact Legal Feminist, I bet they have a list of legal professionals interested in these cases!

I was thinking of the Welsh media. If it's written up in the Daily Mail I think Welsh Labour (who are the ones who should be taking notice) are likely to take the Hannah Blythyn approach and called the parents transphobes and endangering the lives if vulnerable people.

This sounds like a case for a legal challenge under the Equality Act. Trying to remember who the solicitors behind Allison Bailey and Maya Forstater were. They know employment law and may be able to offer half an hour's free legal advice.

This is why I’m sending my youngest to a girls school next September.

(And if there is a single boy- not counting ‘transboys’ - in that school I’ll take it court)

They can't, cos it is. What they can do is call you a transphobe, tell you your committing literal violence and try and obfuscate the issue with what they think are academic arguments which prove that night is day. It's a government endorsed shit show.

And while we're at it who exactly is monitoring the safeguarding and impact on the female children who are obediently taking off their clothes in front of male children to make those male children feel happy?

WTAF are those girls learning from this experience they're being encouraged in and praised for?

So angry about this. Would someone cleverer than me please explain why I am living in a country where female children, are required to take their clothes off in front of a male child in the name of therapeutic benefit to the male child, and if they do not consent and comply they are punished by exclusion from some of their education entitlement?

And that this is apparently because to do something even vaguely sensible like provide additional changing rooms and balance the rights of a male child with female ones, would traumatise a male by requiring them to face that there are limits to their transition?

Would someone please explain to me how this is not male supremacist batshit that has no place in the 21st century?

Not only are the girls losing their right to those lessons, we're seeing again that females who will not validate males by undressing their bodies in front of them are excluded from those activities regardless of the need and beneficiality of those activities for their mental and physical health and wellbeing. The impact on them is disregarded: the only thing that matters is the honouring of the preferences and choices of the male involved.

Just like the women who can no longer swim, or use gyms.

Wow. As if teenage girls needed another hurdle to overcome in order to keep playing sports.

This has to go to court, surely?

There is a recent thread about an EAT ruling on toilets, it’s an employee/workplace one, but I cannot see how they could justify a ruling for employed women that doesn’t also apply to secondary aged girls at school.

The problem with going to the media here is that 99% of publications and TV etc are hand-in-glove with our trans-crazy government.

That has to be illegal — depriving girls from access to PE if they refuse to undress in front of male pupils? It's clear sex discrimination: it favours the male children and penalises the female children.

Is this something Safe Schools Alliance or Sex Matters can help with?

I would take it to WEN: I think they're gender lackeys but it might shake them up a bit.
