And again, getting back on track.
The NSPCC's PANTS campaign.
P = privates are private
A = always remember your body belongs to you
N = no means no
T = talk about it (i.e. don't allow an adult to coerce you into keeping secrets).
S = speak up, someone can help.
The trans material going into schools from organisations who are uncritically pro-self-ID cuts across this.
So - male bodied teen identifies as a transgirl. They should be allowed into girls' changing rooms according to these guidelines - and screw the P, A and N bit for the girls already there. If they object, they're the bigots.
Teen of either sex goes to see a teacher because they're confused about their feelings of dysphoria about their body during puberty (not unusual in teens) and feelings of gender confusion (not surprisingly in a society which is increasingly intolerant of gender non-conforming individuals). The trans teaching materials suggest that the teacher should keep everything in the strictest confidence - not inform other teachers, those with responsibility for safeguarding, and particularly not the child's parents. At that point, there goes the T and S of PANTS too.
That's the whole point of this thread - the PANTS rule is about good safeguarding practice, some of the materials going into schools purportedly supporting trans youngsters goes directly against this long established code of practice (drawn up the hard way, through a whole series of catastrophic safeguarding failures) and the NSPCC is not prepared to talk about this - to parents who are raising concerns.
That's what this thread is about. We mustn't let goady fuckers derail it and lose sight of the main issue.
