New report into trans activism in children's books

Hi Mumsnet members,

I am a co-founder of SEEN in Publishing. I think some of you saw the report we published last year with Sex Matters, Everyday cancellation in publishing - Sex Matters, as I remember it being discussed here.
Well, this year we teamed up with Transgender Trend and Biology in Medicine to do a deep dive into trans activism in children's books, Children's trans-themed books - Transgender Trend which we thought might be of interest to those of you who are involved with schools/libraries or are just concerned parents. If it strikes a chord, do let your school/local library know about the report, and point out that there are serious safeguarding issues with some of these books. I am happy to discuss further with anyone interested!

Best wishes
Julia Williams

Thank you I have gone through your list and purchased 2 copies of each book, one to keep at home for my children and one to donate to the school library, keep up your good work xx

A generous offer but a look at the new guidelines would suggest a school library wouldn’t be allowed to stock some of them...

Thank you for helping fight back against this pernicious ideology!
