Jigsaw PSHE?

Is anyone familiar with Jigsaw PSHE? I received an e-mail from DD's school, where it outlines 'gender diversity' as part of the lessons for the Autumn term next year. She will be 6 years old.
Should I be concerned? Are the schools already updating their lessons or is it just my wishful thinking? I was under impression that Jigsaw wasn't the worst for it, but maybe I was wrong...

With a General election in 6 weeks time I doubt the current government will even exist to implement their sex education plans.

I'm happy for DD to learn about stereotypes, but it looks rather bad from their outline! Is that something that will very much depend on the teacher who teaches it? When is the government changing it, will it take them months :(

If it's the Year 2 Jigsaw curriculum, the message of the autumn term lessons is that it is OK for all children to like things that are sometimes stereotypically classed as for one sex or the other. It's about knowing that girls can play football and boys can wear pink - that's about as heavy as it gets.

@FondOfOwls I didn't dare say "You're talking rubbish!" 😄

Haha I love identifying as a bin! If only all kids took this from PSHE.

@FondOfOwls I'm a Y4 teacher and had one of my boys inform me he is non-binary and identifies as a bin.

Damn it. I was afraid it might be the case. DD just changed schools as well and we both loved it so much so far. Will I have to talk to the headteacher and end up looking like a bigot?
Is there any chance the changes will be happening soon?? Feel so stressed out about it all :(
I didn't plan to be talking to her about 'non binary' and such for a few years yet,

There have been several threads about them, they are pretty bad and I'm surprised any schools are still using them
The Govt is supposed to be introducing new rules so you can at least see the material they intend to show your child; and they should not be teaching gender ideology as if it is factual.
