Look at the image of a primary school poster from the PSHE provider No Outsiders.
It apparently covers the 9 protected characteristics of the Equalities Act, but does not specify that.
It says ‘Everyone is welcome in our school. No one is the same but everyone is equal.’
All 8 protected characteristics of the Equalities Act are correctly included including gender reassignment. Sex is missing. The 9th characteristic is wrongly given as ‘gender’.
Now look at the close up of the two word bubble graphics. Note that they are next to each other along the diagonal.
The ‘gender reassignment’ one shows the male and female symbols with swop arrows.
Aligned with it diagonally, the next bubble which wrongly says ‘gender’, shows the exact same male and female symbols, just without the ‘swop’ arrows.
Let say they were to argue that ‘gender’ means sex male or female, so it is fine. The fact that the swop arrows are on the male and female symbols, and those same male and female symbols cover what is here wrongly called ‘gender’ here, makes it look like anyone can change sex.
This also clearly leads the way for young children to conflate sex with gender and gender reassignment.
