Brighton and Hove council Trans Tool kit is likely illegal - Brighton family threatening legal action if not withdrawn

There will be many parents in Brighton breathing a sigh of relief after hearing this news. This past week really has been a turning point for child safeguarding.

I am so sorry your child was socially transitioned at school OP but as a fellow Brighton resident it doesn't surprise me.

This is such an important issue that needs challenging through the courts. Cass has initiated a massive backlash against what's happening to children with parents feeling more enabled to speak out. I've no doubt any crowd funder would meet its target swiftly after this week's revelations from Cass.

Came to post this; an important read

Good luck @LogicLoverLlama and so sorry to hear about what your children are going through. Remember the Mumsnet gardening team is here if you ever decide to take action. We also offer gin (only virtually from those of us in the north but your fellow Brightonians may have more tangible stuff in their glasses).

I'm sorry about your son OP. I hope they are all held to account

This is so important. Parents feel compromised in legally challenging schools who transition their children in secret as they're desperate not to further alienate their vulnerable child. Yet it's only a successful legal challenge that will stop this.

Only the courts can remove parental rights. The parents of children in care of the state still retain PR until a court states otherwise. Working in partnership with parents is baked into legislation from the Children Act 1989 onwards.

Just as Cass has exposed the NHS as experimenting on children and young people with unevidenced drugs and brutal surgery, too many schools are indulging in a dangerous social experiment on children, despite their complete lack of qualifications in how to manage sex changes in children.

I've done all of that. It's all ok. There were some activist teachers and dubious material a few years ago but it's all good now. They share all phse resources used in the classroom with parents. It's all produced in house now, no dodgy outside providers. Thank goodness.

Mine doesn't. Toilets are male and female and labelled as such. Sanity. I'm so sorry OP for your situation but not all teachers have abdicated their safeguarding responsibilities and adhere to existing laws. Which I think makes the case against the law breaking schools stronger.

I will support parents suing these schools in whatever way I can.

Fucking hell. In your shoes I would be getting the fuck out of Brighton.

Sending solidarity and all my best wishes, OP.
