Posting because I didn't see many headlines on it in other media websites, but thought it was kind of a big deal and worth discussing

Thanks, I found this very interesting (well couldn’t get that article but found some
others)

Yes sorry there's a paywall. It was more for the headline, maybe people can find articles on it on some other webpages

They should have used "sex", but it's a move in the right direction.

I think this is about gender identity, not sex?
The schools are being told to default towards children not socially transitioning to a different gender, e.g. Using the bathrooms of their biological sex, and to adopt a "watchful waiting" approach rather than obliging teachers to use preferred pronouns etc.

I was able to read the Telegraph article without a paywall, it asked me to sign up but I declined and it was still visible.
