Is the teaching of transgender ideology really that common in primary schools?

I've applied to commence a PGCE in primary education in September, (Northamptonshire). Last night I came across this video on youtube and to say I'm shocked is an understatement. d
I'd like to ask the teachers and parents on this site - is this video of a teacher/parent meeting just an anomaly? Surely as a primary school teacher I wouldn't be expected to teach transgender beliefs to children? Throughout the video, the teacher says she is simply following statutory guidance but faith schools wouldn't teach this, surely? I would like to know if this really is common place, or is simply a one-off and I shouldn't let this video concern me. Thanks.

It's their own biases, @Eybyegum

I apologise for calling you obtuse- I thought you were the other poster I’d been replying to 🤦‍♀️ Considering what OP has said about her beliefs and concerns, I think it’s highly likely she does have a problem with homosexuality, among other things. Great if she doesn’t but she doesn’t get to pick and choose in a school situation. The hordes of kids taking puberty blockers are fictional. However, there are a few kids who are actually trans and they deserve to be supported, not told that they are wrong by a bigoted teacher. The teacher’s opinion shouldn’t feature at all. They should simply be directing them to more appropriate support. Only the OP will know if she can do that.

Yet you are the one displaying bigotry here.

@Moglet4 I love how you began by writing, 'I'm not attacking you, that's not my intention', but then have proceeded to call me homophobic and bigoted throughout the thread. Are you OK? Do you need someone to talk to about your prejudices towards those of us who do not believe in gendered souls?

I am inclusive to ALL children, but I understand how vulnerable and trusting they are. Whatever they are taught by their teacher, they WILL believe. Teaching is an immense privilege and a huge responsibility for that very reason. There is no place for political activism in schools. People like yourself, who are extremely intolerant of those of us who do not believe children should be taught it is possible to born in the wrong body, do not belong in schools.

For the record, I have no issue with homosexuality and to suggest I do, for simply asking a question about the curriculum in UK primary schools, suggests to me that you are most likely some sort of activist. This has NOTHING to do with homosexuality. Lumping together gay people with 'trans' people, is nothing more than a marketing strategy, designed to close down debate on the trans subject by simply labelling people 'homophobic', as opposed to addressing their logical concerns. I imagine you would suggest that Muslims shouldn't be able to teach, owing to what their faith teaches them about LBGT issues. Not very inclusive!

By labelling me bigoted, you have simply prejected your own deficiency onto me. I think you should reflect on why you have such an insane response to someone asking a question about what very young children are taught in our schools. My question was not unreasonable, your response however, very much was.

That all depends if you think she would get a job there. Probably not.

@TizerorFizz Oh dear, are you still here? You really are vile. I simply asked a question about what is taught in UK primary schools and you have gone off on an insane tangent, stating how I am pushing this and that, and now you're declaring I wouldn't be able to get a job. Quite the sociopath. You really need to calm down and ask yourself why you have such a deranged response to a genuine question about the UK primary school curriculum. Are you a trans identifying male by any chance? It would explain so much.

Not worth an answer. I think you are the one with issues!
