GIRES school resources

[LanguageAsAFlower]

From things I've read on here and from a general concern about what resources are available to schools to teach/support/guide students through issues relating to gender/sex I came across the GIRES website. I emailed them, because as far as I can see many of the resources seem to confuse sex and gender, but also have a tenuous link to what we know to be biologically true. As I've said before on here I don't think schools are the place for anything that could be deemed too radical/controversial I'm concerned that young women and men are supported fairly and protected from those who would "sell" them on permanent actions at a such a young and impressionable age. I'm interested in what you make of the reply I received. Resources and my email as photos, I'll post the reply as the next comment.

The National Curriculum and GCSE syllabuses (syllabi?) are clear and accurate. That aspect of education has been far from progressive in recent years.
I wonder if there is any mileage in approaching the DfE about DfE/government endorsed resources undermining curriculum content?

My replies from MPs are all about 'transgender children' being the most special and vulnerable group and word salad about 'gender identity'. So offensive that they are establishing a hierarchy of 'vulnerability' - especially when you look at all the needs of other children. But that reflects the gaslighting advice that they are being given by the well entrenched lobby groups..

If they are, why is the fool not objecting to all the lobby group guidance destroying safeguarding for them? Why is the fool not saying that allowing confidential disclosures, disavowing multi-agency working and parental alienation are putting this very group of children at risk by infiltrating abusers?

The idiocy defies belief, it really does. None of them have stopped to think for even a single minute.

@Orchid do you have a link to that please?

That is pretty worrying.

Section 1.5. I wish I were making this up

GIRES also have a document on their website in which they claim that transition can cure autism

Whoa. That sounds suspiciously like the "lupron protocol", discredited ten years ago and which caused the doctor involved to lose his licence. I asked about it on the lupron thread yesterday but nobody seemed to know anything. Stick "lupron autism" in to Google, though, it's enlightening. Eerily reminiscent of Wakefield (and again, I say "follow the money").

Yes JackyHolyoake . Now all those schools that have illegally gone 'gender neutral' will have to reverse their decisions.

I can (just about) cope with the harassment of women from TRAs - it's nothing new. But when I see what is happening to children I am outraged to my core.
That we are giving adults with a sexual fetish to promote, access to schools to groom and gaslight both adults and children is beyond belief. That politicians are so frightened of the twatter mob that they are won't stand up stand up and insist that these groups leave children and schools alone.

That is why I keep writing to MPs. I want there to be no doubt when the next safeguarding scandal happens that they were warned and are accountable. Lobby groups have no business being in schools. The activities of Transpire should be enough to raise anyone's concerns:

That's a very good point SilentCrow. I think it's probably all tied in (that gires foc I linked to is a couple or of years old). But the fact that they have written stuff like that and still have the ear of government beggars belief.

It's all part of the woo isn't it? To make policy for anything else, you find the evidence then make the policy. This is about making policy around what a small group of people want and then looking for the evidence to demonstrate its right. It just wouldn't be acceptable for any other area of policy - especially one that straddles education, health, safeguarding, access, pensions, leisure, etc etc

Thanks Orchid.
