And detailed how to access:

Two twitter threads, one by the parent of the child who found the notes the nurse made for the child on a pamphlet:

Child was directed to mermaids and Mother shows details of gofundme budgeting child made in order to access gender Gp.

And a second linked thread by Clare Page / No Secret lessons, exploring who was involved in writing the pamphlet:

Particularly Sci:dentity - linking to a horrifically sexist schools drama workshop whereby children took a quiz and worked out their gender identity score based on questions such as "I can knit" and "I have more oestrogen than testosterone in my body" and a description of teaching children that they don't need to have a penis to be a man.

Which a young boy repeats readily and thanks his 'teachers' for helping him understand this.

(Of course, what is not said is the inverse; you can be a woman with a penis...)

This is just awful.
The "gender-mapping" of the sex-based stereotypes to create a gender identity is indoctrination in to a belief.
The mum says that the child is autistic. A map like that for a neurotypical child is bad enough but autistic children are even more likely to lock on to the outcome of the gender mapping and see it as a truth.
For the school nurse to then secretly enable a medicalised pathway seals the deal.
It really is a complete playbook on how to become transgender.
Using the sex-based stereotypes to teach about gender identity goes against even the current (next to useless) DfE guidance too.
Thank goodness this mum was able to step in. That doesn't mean that it's all plain sailing from here though as the ideas have already been firmly planted in her son's head.

Possibly missing the point but it turns out I don't just have masculine characteristics, I may in fact be male. Q19. I see myself as a logical rational person rather than an emotional one!

Why why why suggest any of that to kids/anyone? It's so offensive.

The age of the child is not revealed in the twitter thread. I think it's important.

Also, the drama workshop is for AS level students.

The age the drama workshop was for is irrelevant, the group that contributed to writing the pamphlet designed the workshop and used the 'positive' outcomes as evidence of impact. This will have fed into everything else they did.

The messages contained in the lesson and the write up are what's relevant as as those core ideas are then being used by the nhs and passed onto a child in a 1:1 session by the school nurse.

Sally Hines' work is referenced in the sci:dentity discussion - all these Bloody queer theory academic 'ideas,' none with any background in child psychology or development, filter down to projects like this, funded by reputable institutions and used by the NHS.

The butterfly effect end point is young vulnerable and/ or autistic children being told lies about their body and led into a lifetime of medical abuse.
