To sign, look up:
Remove references to 'gender identity' from relationships education guidance
It should come up on the petition.parliament.gov website.
This hasn’t even reached 5000 yet and the deadline is in January. You need 10,000 for a government response; 100,000 for a debate.
Once children are indoctrinated with the ideology that implies they are in the wrong body, or are not their sex if they don’t fit in with stereotypes, it is a bit late. We need to try to stop this from carrying on.
Here is further information from the petition:
Since 2020 the DfE has published guidance for relationships and sex education. This says "Pupils should be taught the facts and the law about sex, sexuality, sexual health and gender identity in an age-appropriate and inclusive way". Gender identity is a social construct, and not recognised in law.
There's no evidence that we're born with a ‘gender identity’, and we do not believe that schools should be teaching children about this concept. We also believe that teaching school children about gender identity is inconsistent with the Education Act (section 406), which prohibits 'political indoctrination'. The Government should remove all references to 'gender identity' from guidance on relationships and sex education.
